From Investing.com:

NASA has announced more delays to its Artemis moon program, pushing its first astronaut lunar landing back to 2026. This delay is due to development challenges faced by contractors like SpaceX and Lockheed Martin. The Artemis 3 mission, using SpaceX’s Starship, is now scheduled for September 2026, with Artemis 2 planned for September 2025 involving four astronauts flying the Lockheed-built Orion capsule around the moon and back. Development challenges include issues with Orion’s heat shield, batteries, and electrical system. SpaceX also faces a lengthy to-do list before landing astronauts on the moon. The company has demonstrated similar docking events in orbit but will require roughly 10 Starship launches to fill up the “tanker” Starship that will act as an orbital fuel station.
