Summary. Eleven links "meant to provide additional context surrounding NASA's Moon to Mars Architecture, including the science it will enable and the benefit it will bring to humankind". Two are held (the objectives documents); the rest are not among the sources. Two Artemis III lines are out of date against the March 2026 restructuring.

Title, as on the page What the page says In the wiki
NASA's Moon to Mars Objectives the objectives-based approach source page
NASA's Moon to Mars Strategy and Objectives Development "blueprint for sustained human presence" source page

NPR 7120.5F, Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements standard process to formulate and implement programs and projects not held; the ADD glossary refers to NPR 7120.5 (Glossary)
NPR 7123.1D, Systems Engineering Processes and Requirements "a successful model to complete comprehensive technical work" not held
International Deep Space Interoperability Standards "not intended to dictate design features beyond the interfaces"; links internationaldeepspacestandards.com the site itself not fetched; NASA's list page is (source page); see RT-7
Artemis III Candidate Landing Regions "13 candidate landing regions near the lunar South Pole" not held

NASA Spinoffs "more than 2,000 spinoffs since 1976" not held

Out of date

As printed, against Going back to the Moon (March 2026), which makes Artemis III an Earth-orbit test and moves the first landing to Artemis IV:

  • "Artemis III, which will be the first of the Artemis missions to bring crew to the lunar surface, including the first woman to set foot on the Moon" ("Artemis III Candidate Landing Regions").
  • "Following two Artemis test missions, Artemis III will mark humanity's first return to the lunar surface in more than 50 years" ("Artemis III Mission Overview").

The page has no editor's note, unlike the Components page. See open question 22.

The 2025 Architecture Update points to NASA's list of standards at https://www.nasa.gov/international-deep-space-standards/ (p. 15); this page links a different address, internationaldeepspacestandards.com, which ADD Rev C's footnote 35 also cites (p. 99). The nasa.gov list is held, and links eight of its nine standards' documents on the .com site (Docking's is on nasa.gov), so the two addresses are a list and a document host (source page; open question 30). The .com site itself is not fetched.
