NASA said it will hold a briefing at 2 p.m. EDT on Friday, Oct. 23, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to update its plans to return American astronauts to the surface of the Moon by 2028. The advisory was published Oct. 14, with the briefing then planned for the following week.

Scheduled participants include NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya and Artemis program manager Jeremy Parsons. According to the agency, the update will cover details of the Artemis III mission, which is intended to send four astronauts to low Earth orbit next year to test systems needed for future lunar landings, and the progress of the 2028 goal.

Media wishing to attend in person were asked to apply online by noon on Friday, Oct. 16, while those wanting to ask questions remotely were told to request a dial-in number from the Kennedy newsroom no later than an hour before the update. NASA said its Artemis missions aim to send astronauts on increasingly difficult flights near the lunar South Pole and to establish an enduring human presence on the lunar surface.
