Artemis V

The second crewed landing, and the first SLS flight with a Centaur V upper stage.

Planned No earlier than 2028 Estimated

Goal

  • Land a second crew on the Moon.
  • Start building toward a lasting base at the south pole.

The plan

  1. SLS flies with ULA’s Centaur V upper stage for the first time, because the old upper stage is out of production.
  2. Boeing and Northrop Grumman’s joint company, Deep Space Transport, takes over running SLS launches.
  3. After Artemis V, NASA plans about one landing a year.
