INITIALIZING GLOBE…
The Mission

The most ambitious human spaceflight effort in 50 years.

NASA‘s Artemis program is returning humans to the Moon; crewed lunar orbit, surface landings, and eventually Mars. It needs engineers, scientists, pilots, mission specialists, and roles that don‘t exist yet.

In April 2026, Artemis II launched four astronauts on the first crewed lunar flyby since Apollo 17, setting a new human distance record of 252,756 miles from Earth. The program is accelerating.

Most people who want to work in space don‘t know where to start. OrbitPath changes that.

Artemis I

Uncrewed lunar flyby

complete

The inaugural SLS/Orion mission sent an uncrewed capsule 40,000 miles beyond the Moon — farther than any human-rated spacecraft had ever traveled. A 25-day mission that proved every system before humans boarded.

Apr 1–10, 2026

Artemis II

First crewed lunar flyby since Apollo 17

complete

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen flew a free-return trajectory around the Moon, setting the record for farthest distance from Earth by humans at 252,756 miles. The crew splashed down April 10 off San Diego.

252,756 mi — new human distance record

2028 (planned)

Artemis III

First Moon landing since Apollo 17

planned

The first crewed lunar surface landing of the 21st century. Two astronauts will descend to the lunar South Pole aboard SpaceX's Human Landing System — including the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.

First Moon landing in 50+ years

2027–2030

Lunar Gateway

Permanent lunar orbit station

planned

A small space station in lunar orbit, serving as a staging point for surface missions and eventually as a waystation for Mars. International partners include ESA, JAXA, and CSA.
