I think that the American Moon missions were called either Appollo, in which case I think someone told you something wrong but if they were called Artemis then it is because the british moon missions were called Artemis.

Some stories say Orion was a hunting companion of Artemis, and she admired his skill and loved him, others say that he was a great hunter and sought out Artemis and tried to rape her - and still others say that they were hunting companions and he boasted that there was not a beast on earth he could not kill, and Gaia took offense of this. In the end Orion dies, there are a few doubts to who killed him and why, however. Slain by Artemis in wrath, is the most commonly known. Orion slain by Gaia, turned into a constellation by Artemis. Orion slain through a trick of Apollon, turned into a constellation by Artemis.
