This angle captures a mostly uniform, light gray portion of the lunar surface, with darker patches in the lower third. Craters of various sizes are visible all over the Moon’s surface—most easily visible at the edge of the upper shadow. Credit: NASA

    Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
