NASA Artemis Mission Advances with a Test Flight of the SpaceX Starship
NASA is collaborating with SpaceX to develop the Starship human landing system (HLS), which will land astronauts close to the Moon's South Pole during the Artemis III and Artemis IV missions, as part of NASA's Artemis campaign to return humans to the Moon for the benefit of all. The third combined flight test of SpaceX's Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage was launched on March 14. This was a significant step toward supplying NASA with a Starship HLS for its Artemis missions.
