NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told lawmakers that SpaceX and Blue Origin expect their lunar landers to be ready for the Artemis III mission in late 2027. The mission will now test the landers in Earth orbit rather than attempting a lunar landing. This change aims to reduce risks and increase launch frequency.

A two-day countdown is underway for NASA's Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch four astronauts on a flight around the moon from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is set for a two-hour window opening at 6:24 pm EDT on Wednesday, with backup opportunities through April 6. The crew will test the Orion spacecraft on a 10-day journey, marking humans' first deep space voyage in more than 50 years.

As NASA's Artemis II mission nears launch, the University of Buenos Aires' Faculty of Engineering (FIUBA) is finalizing preparations for the Argentine CubeSat Atenea, one of four international microsatellites selected for deployment. FIUBA's student-led team is on-site at Cape Canaveral, building on the January announcement of Argentina's participation.

NASA has overhauled its Artemis program, postponing the first human moon landing until the Artemis IV mission in early 2028. The changes, announced by Administrator Jared Isaacman on February 27, 2026, aim to increase launch frequency and reduce risks after repeated delays with the Space Launch System rocket. An additional test flight, now Artemis III, will focus on low-Earth orbit rendezvous with commercial lunar landers.

The four astronauts preparing for NASA's Artemis II mission are in a two-week quarantine to avoid introducing harmful microbes to space. Medical experts monitor them closely as they stay indoors and avoid physical contact with others. This precaution aims to prevent any illness from delaying the first crewed trip to the moon's vicinity in over 50 years.
