The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on Tuesday that the mission of American astronauts to the moon will be postponed by a year from the scheduled schedule.

NASA Director Bill Nelson said that the administration would not send a mission of astronauts to the moon before 2025 at the earliest, delaying by at least a year the timetable set under former US President Donald Trump.

“In our estimation, the Artemis 3 mission will not take place before 2025,” Nelson said on a conference call, according to Reuters.

US President Joe Biden appointed Nelson to lead NASA, which plans to send humans to the moon for the first time since the 1970s.

Biden agreed to continue a program known as Artemis, which began under Trump, to send astronauts to the moon by 2024, with the aim of paving the way for more ambitious manned flights to Mars in the future.
