Latest News About Was There An Artemis 1 Mission

Short answer: Artemis 1 has completed its mission; NASA’s Artemis program continued with subsequent missions, including Artemis II and beyond, but Artemis 1 itself did not have a new launch in 2025 or 2026 as a repeat mission.

Details:

• Artemis 1 was an uncrewed test flight around the Moon that launched in November 2022 and concluded with a splashdown in December 2022, marking the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion capsule [NASA Artemis I page].[9]
• The mission successfully tested many systems and paved the way for crewed Artemis missions, with Artemis II planned to carry astronauts around or near lunar distance in the subsequent iteration [NASA Artemis I page].[9]
• As of May 2026, there has not been a repeat Artemis 1 mission; focus has shifted to Artemis II and later Artemis III for crewed lunar missions, with ongoing development and scheduling updates published by NASA and space news outlets.[1][2][9]
