NASA announces Artemis 2 crew
Posted: Sat, Apr 8, 2023, 9:37 AM ET (1337 GMT)
NASA announced the four-person crew of the Artemis 2 mission Monday. That mission, the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, will be commanded by Reid Wiseman with Victor Glover as pilot. Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen will be mission specialists. The four are slated to be the first to travel beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission more than 50 years ago. Artemis 2, currently scheduled for launch no sooner than November 2024, will be a 10-day mission where the Orion spacecraft flies a "free-return" trajectory around the moon, testing out the spacecraft ahead of the Artemis 3 lunar landing mission as soon as late 2025.
