The Artemis Timeline

Humanity is going back to the Moon. Here's where things stand — and when Optimus Explorers join the mission.

Artemis I — Uncrewed Test Flight

Nov 2022 — Complete

SLS and Orion proved out around the Moon

First flight of the Space Launch System. Orion orbited the Moon for 25 days and returned safely, validating the spacecraft for crewed missions.

Artemis II — Crewed Lunar Flyby

Launching Today

First humans around the Moon since 1972

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen fly a 10-day free-return trajectory around the Moon. Glover will be the first person of color, Koch the first woman, to leave low Earth orbit.

III

Artemis III — Lander & Suit Tests

Mid-2027

Testing SpaceX Starship HLS and Blue Origin Blue Moon in orbit

Crewed rendezvous and docking tests with both commercial landers in Earth orbit. Validation of the new Axiom AxEMU spacesuits. Sets the stage for the first landing.

1

Phase 1 — Artemis IV: First Landing

Early 2028

First humans walk on the Moon since Apollo 17 — first Optimus Explorers deploy

The first crewed lunar landing of the Artemis era. We deploy initial Optimus Explorers to the south pole alongside the mission. Early waitlist members get first access to reserve remote driving and photo missions.

2

Phase 2 — Artemis V–VII: Base Construction

2029–2031

Moon base assembly begins under NASA's $20B Ignition Project

Annual crewed landings. Robots expand to Tycho, Tranquility, and more sites. The job marketplace opens — humans earn money doing remote work for lunar robots. The cancelled Gateway station has been replaced by a permanent surface base.

3

Phase 3 — Sustained Lunar Economy

2032+

Permanent base, commercial habitats, and full Earth-to-Moon economy

Biannual crewed missions. Hotels, shops, and activity zones open to the public. Book a robot for lunar golf, astrophotography, or birthday parties. A full economy on the Moon, operated from Earth.

Imagine This

A Day in the Lunar Economy

This is what it could look like.

🌙

“It's a Tuesday night. You open your laptop, connect to Explorer Unit 7 at Tycho Crater, and spend an hour photographing Earth from the rim. The photos are yours to keep.”

Sightseeing Tour — $45/session

🔧

“A robot at Shackleton Crater posts a job: recalibrate its solar panel alignment. You accept it from your couch in Denver, walk the robot through the sequence, and earn $200 in an afternoon.”

Paid Job — Work from Earth

⛳

“Your kid's 10th birthday. You book 30 minutes of lunar golf at the Sea of Tranquility. The whole party watches as the robot swings in 1/6th gravity. The ball floats for 14 seconds.”

Activity — $75/session

How It Will Work

From Earth to Moon in Three Steps

No spacesuit required. Just a browser and an internet connection.

1

Pick a Lunar Site

Browse 116 planned sites across the Moon — from Tycho Crater to the Sea of Tranquility. Each site has its own terrain, missions, and robots.

2

Rent an Optimus Explorer

Reserve your robot by the hour. Each Optimus is equipped for different tasks — sightseeing, science, construction, or just driving around.

3

Control It from Your Browser

Drive your robot in real time with a live video feed. Complete missions, take photos, explore craters — and get paid for some of them.

What You Can Do

Three Ways to Use the Moon

Work, explore, or play — all from Earth

Paid Jobs

58 jobs planned

Robots will need humans. Data labeling, remote calibration, mission planning — real paid work posted by lunar robots.

Sightseeing

17 guided tours

Walk crater rims, lava tubes, Apollo landing sites, and Earthrise viewpoints through a robot's eyes. Keep every photo and video.

Activities

41 activities

Lunar golf, robot racing, regolith art, astrophotography, proposals, school field trips — experiences you can't get anywhere else.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is this real?
The concept is real — we're building the platform now. Artemis II is launching today (April 2026) with the first crewed lunar flyby since Apollo. Artemis IV in 2028 will be the first crewed landing — that's when we plan to deploy the first Optimus Explorers. The sites and jobs shown here are modeled on real Artemis mission requirements. Join the waitlist to follow our progress.
When can I actually use this?
Our Phase 1 launches with Artemis IV in early 2028 — the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17. That's when initial Optimus Explorers deploy to the south pole. The timeline is real: Artemis II (crewed flyby) is launching today, Artemis III (lander tests) targets mid-2027. Early waitlist members get first access when Phase 1 goes live.
How much will it cost?
Robot rentals are planned at $25–$150/hour depending on the Explorer model and capabilities. Sightseeing tours start around $45/session. Many paid jobs actually pay you — robots post work they need humans to do, with earnings ranging from $50 to $500+ per task.
Do I need any special training or equipment?
No. Everything runs in your browser — no downloads, no VR headset, no training certification. If you can use WASD keys and a mouse, you can drive a robot on the Moon. Some specialized jobs (like geological surveying) may include a brief tutorial, but most are designed for anyone.
What's the latency like? Can you really control a robot in real time?
Earth-to-Moon signal delay is about 1.3 seconds each way. You won't be driving like a video game — it's more like giving commands and watching them execute. The robots have onboard AI to handle obstacle avoidance and safety, so you set direction and speed, and the Explorer handles the details. Think “mission director,” not “joystick pilot.”
What is the Artemis program?
NASA's Artemis program is returning humans to the Moon for the first time since 1972. Artemis I (2022) was the uncrewed test flight. Artemis II (launching today, April 2026) is the first crewed flyby. Artemis III (2027) tests the SpaceX and Blue Origin landers. Artemis IV (2028) will be the first crewed landing — and the start of a permanent Moon base under NASA's $20B Ignition Project, replacing the cancelled Gateway station. Our platform deploys alongside these missions.
