Artemis

What is Artemis?

NASA’s Artemis program will land the first woman and next man on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade. NASA will then use this knowledge to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.

Supporting NASA's Artemis Program

Northrop Grumman supports NASA's Artemis program by providing the solid rocket boosters for the NASA Space Launch System and the abort motor and attitude control motor for the Orion spacecraft’s Launch Abort System. Additional information about these motors can be seen below, with detailed information available in the SLS Motors section of Northrop Grumman’s Propulsion Products Catalog.

We’re also building the Habitat and Logistics Outpost (HALO) module for NASA’s lunar gateway. Building on our demonstrated success with our Cygnus spacecraft, we are designing and constructing HALO to provide a safe and versatile habitation element for the Lunar Gateway. We are also bringing our spaceflight experience in power systems, other vehicle systems, and mission planning and training to the Intuitive Machines team to build the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV).
