The new moon landing program, (called Artemis) currently has a working space capsule (called Orion) and a rocket that can launch it to lunar orbit (called SLS), so can send humans to lunar orbit on Artemis II.

The lander (called Starship HLS) and suits (called AxEMU) are not scheduled to be ready until Artemis III because they did not receive contracts and funding until very recently.
