Artemis I mission to deliver astronauts to the moon is scheduled for 2025.

PlanValue 4.0Jun 10, 2023Wanted: Capable robots for lunar exploration

NASA instead launched Lunar Flashlight as a secondary payload on a Falcon 9 launch of the HAKUTO-R M1 lander operated by the Japanese company ispace, which lifted off less than a month after Artemis 1.

PlanRelationshipsValue 4.3May 15, 2023NASA ends Lunar Flashlight mission because of thruster problems

The Orion spacecraft was mated to the stage adapter where the Artemis 1 cubesats were mounted in fall 2021, preventing access to the cubesats after that point.
