Human Landing System

The Human Landing System (HLS) is a spacecraft designed to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and back. Developed as part of NASA's Artemis program, HLS aims to enable sustainable exploration of the Moon. It encompasses various technologies to ensure safe landing, exploration, and return. The system includes a lunar lander that can operate autonomously or be piloted by astronauts. HLS is critical for future missions, as it supports goals of scientific research, resource utilization, and testing technologies for eventual human missions to Mars.
