Anyone know what the current status of the two ARTEMIS probes is? They were originally supposed to go into lunar orbit in April, but that was postponed, possibly until July.
What was the reason for the postponement? Is July still on? |

Thanks, Paolo. And looking back 9 years to the previous post about ARTEMIS - now they call it THEMIS-ARTEMIS to distinguish it from the human Artemis missions - well, the two little spacecraft are still in lunar orbit and (as far as I know right now) still operating. I was in touch with the PI not long ago, and he told me they were still planning several years of operations and were reserving fuel for de-orbiting at the end of the mission.

Lunar Trailblazer is confirmed for final design, schedule and budget with targeted launch for Feb 2025. Its objective is mapping and characterizing water sources for surface features less than 100 square meters and is considered a support mission for Artemis.
