Exciting news was announced on Monday as the crew for the first crewed moon mission in five decades was revealed. This historic Artemis II lunar flyby is set to launch in November 2024, and training is now underway for the crew. The team includes astronauts from NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, forming a quartet that is ready to make history.
NASA’s Reid Wiseman will be leading the mission, bringing with him a wealth of experience as a naval aviator, test pilot, and former chief of the astronaut office. Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency is set to become the first Canadian to travel to deep space. Victor Glover, a naval aviator and seasoned astronaut, piloted the second crewed flight of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. Christina Koch, a veteran spacewalker and electrical engineer, holds the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman.
The Artemis II mission is a crucial milestone building upon the success of Artemis I, NASA’s uncrewed test mission that recently concluded. Scheduled for a November 2024 launch, the crew will embark on a 10-day journey beyond the moon. The mission is expected to set a new record for the furthest distance traveled by humans in history.
