Not anymore. Artemis III is now a LEO systems check [1]. Comparable to Apollo 9.
(Side note: when did we switch from Arabic to Roman numerals?)

- xattt 8mo agoThere’s definitely “notation-fluidity” in Apollo mission patches. 10 is Roman, 11 is Arabic, 12 & 13 are Roman again.
- FabHK 8mo agoWhich is weird, because "X", "10", "XI", "XII", "12", "XIII", "13" are all unambiguous, while "11" could be read as "II" = 2 depending on the font. In other words, they switched exactly as to maximise ambiguity.
