In addition, according to the arrangement of NASA's Artemis lunar landing program, astronauts will be sent to the moon in 2024 in three steps. The whole mission will cost 28 billion dollars, of which $16 billion will be used to develop the lunar module.
The first flight, Artemis 1, will be launched in November 2021, an unmanned flight. In 2023, Artemis 2 will take astronauts around the moon, but will not land on the moon. In 2024, Artemis 3 will land on the moon like Apollo 11, which was launched in 1969, but it will stay for a longer time - a week, and will also carry out 2-5 "extravehicular activities".
