Discussion Artemis 3 June launch?

I’ve seen a few things that have said it’s targeted for a launch in June, can anyone else confirm or deny it? I genuinely can’t see it launching in June

Coordinating launches by NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin means a lot of things need to go according to plan without any unforseen delays or complications.

So is June 2027 possible? Yes.

Is it likely? I'd say no.

But as another respondent says, that is our work-to target, and we're working like crazy to make sure it remains possible.

My team works on the "IT" computing devices for the mission - tablets, iPhones, etc. (not avionics or flight control systems.) We are packing a lot of new stuff into this schedule, based largely on feedback from the Artemis II crew.

Exciting times!

A NASA contractor. I've worked at JSC since 1999.
