## New moon strategy timeline
NASA plans crewed moon landing in 2028 after testing spacecraft integration in 2027.
## Artemis III mission details
Artemis III will test spacecraft integration in low earth orbit with four astronauts for 14 days.
## Spacecraft integration process
Orion will connect with Blue Moon and Starship prototypes in low earth orbit without leaving Earth's vicinity.
## Blue Origin and SpaceX roles
Blue Origin sends Blue Moon prototype first, followed by SpaceX's Starship version 3 prototype.
## Jared Isaacman's priority
NASA administrator Jared Isaacman emphasizes annual rocket launches to maintain deep space mission capability.
## Artemis III mission timeline
Artemis III launches in 2027 with Orion and SLS from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
## Orion spacecraft integration
Orion will connect with Blue Moon and Starship in low earth orbit to test communication and navigation systems.
## SLS hardware improvements
NASA reduced processing times for Artemis III hardware by nearly half with five-month fuel component testing.
## New lunar suits
NASA develops lighter lunar suits for initial moon walks with half the weight of standard suits.
## Artemis IV mission plan
Artemis IV will land astronauts on the moon using SpaceX or Blue Origin modules for descent and return.
## SpaceX fueling strategy
SpaceX plans orbital refueling of Starship before connecting with Orion in low earth orbit.
## Blue Origin descent plan
Blue Origin aims to send Blue Moon Mark 2 to the moon for descent after connecting with Orion in lunar orbit.
## SLS configuration options
NASA studies two SLS upper stage options for Artemis IV: current cryogenic stage or extended Centaur V.
## Artemis III purpose
Artemis III tests spacecraft integration before Artemis IV crewed moon landing in 2028.
## Key takeaway

NASA plans crewed moon landing in 2028 after testing spacecraft integration in 2027.
