Artemis IV
Definition
Artemis IV is the fourth mission in NASA's Artemis program, a crewed lunar surface landing mission targeted for early 2028.
It involves four astronauts launching aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center, docking in lunar orbit with a human landing system, and sending two crew members to the Moon's South Pole for about one week of scientific activities including field geology, sample collection, experiments, and observations.
