The purpose of Artemis II was to prove that NASA can once again circle the moon with a crew. The long-awaited lunar landing will have to wait for Artemis IV. In the meantime, the program's third mission will focus on perfecting the technologies that made Artemis II possible and resolving any setbacks, while NASA's partners finish key systems such as SpaceX's lunar descent module.
