To ensure the training process for future Artemis missions is developed with sufficient time for implementation and revision, we also recommended the Director of the Flight Operations Directorate and the Chief of the Astronaut Office:3. At least 18 months prior to the planned Artemis II launch, coordinate with Artemis program offices to complete the development and chartering of the framework of Artemis boards and panels to ensure alignment with future mission training needs for new vehicles and missions, including Orion, next-generation spacesuits, HLS, and Gateway.
