NASA delays Artemis II moon mission that includes Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen

NASA is delaying the Artemis II moon mission that includes Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen as it works to resolve technical issues with the spacecraft.

The U.S. space agency provided an update Tuesday on the timeline for the upcoming mission around the moon and said Artemis II will be pushed back to September 2025 from its intended launch this November.

A subsequent mission, Artemis III, which will land astronauts on the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, was also delayed — until at least September 2026.
