NASA will hold a media briefing on Friday, October 23, to discuss its accelerated plans for returning American astronauts to the lunar surface by 2028. The event takes place at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Agency officials scheduled to speak include NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya, and Artemis program manager Jeremy Parsons.
The briefing will cover the progress of the 2028 landing goal and provide details on the upcoming Artemis III mission, which will send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test critical systems required for future moon landings. These missions aim to establish an enduring human presence on the Moon and build a foundation for eventual crewed missions to Mars.
The agency describes the initiative as part of an era of innovation that will send astronauts to the lunar South Pole. Media members wishing to attend in person had to apply by October 16, while remote participants must request a dial-in number from the Kennedy newsroom. The briefing will also be broadcast live online.
