The first day of the US moon landing in decades is expected to be in 2025. This is the target date for NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and the first person of color on the lunar surface. The Artemis program was originally planned for 2024, but it was delayed by one year due to a funding shortfall and a lawsuit over the landing vehicle
However, before NASA’s crewed mission, two private companies in the US are attempting to land robotic spacecraft on the moon in early 2024. These are Astrobotic Technology and Intuitive Machines, which are part of a NASA-supported effort to kick-start commercial moon deliveries. If successful, they will be the first US moon landings since the Apollo program ended in 1972, after sending 12 astronauts to the moon.
