The Artemis project was the Mariner Space Development spaceflight effort which landed the first humans on Earth's Moon since the end of the NASA's Apollo program in the early 1970s. Conceived as an international effort to develop the moon over the next twenty years, and conducted jointly with the world's state sponsored space administrations, Artemis began in earnest in early 2018 when the MSD lander, Artemis 1 launched from the mining station Coloma and landed the first survey team on the moon two days later.
