NASA has outlined a phased plan to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon, including the development of a lunar base as part of its Artemis programme. The initiative, detailed in a recent agency release, forms part of broader efforts to expand long-term space exploration and support future missions beyond Earth orbit.
The programme includes a series of missions beginning later this decade, with Artemis III currently scheduled for 2027. NASA said the mission will support testing of systems and operations ahead of subsequent lunar landings and the gradual development of surface infrastructure.
