Artemis III: Paving the Way to Lunar Landings

On episode 443 of the official NASA Johnson Space Center podcast, hosted by Joseph Zakrzewski, experts in Human Landing System engineering for NASA and its commercial partners discuss the Artemis III lunar lander test articles and docking operations aimed at paving the way for future crewed Moon landings. The mission will allow Earth and orbit teams to practice rendezvous and docking between commercial human landing systems and Orion spacecraft, supporting astronaut safety and mission success.

NASA has partnered with Blue Origin and SpaceX to develop the Human Landing System for Artemis III, with commercial partners launching test versions of crewed landers via commercial rockets while the Artemis III crew will travel to low Earth orbit in Orion atop the Space Launch System.
