Artemis

aid: artemis
name: Artemis
description: NASA's Artemis program is the next generation of lunar exploration, aiming to return humans to the Moon and establish
  a sustainable presence for future missions to Mars. The program includes the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Orion spacecraft,
  the Lunar Gateway space station, and commercial lunar landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin. NASA's Open APIs provide programmatic
  access to Artemis-related data, including mission imagery, space weather, and planetary data through api.nasa.gov. The program
  operates under NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate.
