The SpaceX Enterprise and the Artemis program.

NASA has awarded a SpaceX contract modification to develop its investment of the starship to land on the moon within the Artemis program, the modification known as option B has a value of about 1,150 million dollars with this option spacex will provide a second mission crewed landing demonstration in 2027, as part of NASA's Artemis 4 mission.

What we saw taking off on November 16 was the Artemis 1 admission that is underway and whose objective is to orbit the moon without a human crew, but with different systems, experiments and mechanisms to test the ship's systems and carry out valuable experiments for the next missions.

The next mission will be the Artemis 2 scheduled for May 2024, in which four astronauts will travel to lunar orbit, but it will be in the Artemis 3 mission in 2025 when we will see humans walking on the lunar surface again and they will reach them Thanks to the starship hls which is the version of the starship for landings.

The ship shown will not be the one that reaches the moon, the final version will surely have much longer legs to be able to put the enormous weight of the ship on uneven ground such as the lunar soil, it is something they are already working on SpaceX experts.

The objective of option B is to develop a lunar lander this file that meets NASA's maintenance requirements for missions Beyond Artemis 3, among the details that must be met, is that it be capable of docking with the space station It will orbit the moon, the Gateway, which NASA and Japan have reached an agreement to build key parts. This starship will also have to be capable of carrying four astronauts and more cargo to the lunar surface.
