NASA has announced significant delays in its Artemis lunar program, with the first astronaut flight around the moon now facing multiple setbacks. The agency confirmed that Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, has been pushed back to April 2026 due to safety issues related to the Orion heat shield. Additionally, the highly anticipated crewed lunar landing, Artemis III, has been rescheduled for 2027. These delays come as NASA identifies major problems affecting their return to the moon, prompting leadership to provide updates on the state of the Artemis campaign. The next major announcement is set for December 5, where NASA officials will outline the future of its lunar missions.
