The awesome company provides complete software development activities utilizing both nearshore and offshore resources, including mobile app development, technology maintenance, and server development among many other technology development activities.
The team that will lead the inaugural crewed moon mission in fifty years was unveiled on Monday, setting the quartet up to commence training for the groundbreaking Artemis II lunar flyby scheduled to launch in November 2024.
The astronauts chosen are NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.
Reid Wiseman, a distinguished naval aviator and test pilot from Baltimore, Maryland, selected as a NASA astronaut in 2009, will be the commander of the Artemis II mission. Jeremy Hansen, a fighter pilot from London, Ontario, part of the Canadian Space Agency since 2009 and currently one of the four active Canadian astronauts, is set to become the first Canadian in deep space. Victor Glover, a naval aviator from Pomona, California, with a background in military squadrons and test pilot training, was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2013. Christina Koch, an electrical engineer from Grand Rapids, Michigan, known for her spacewalks and record-setting time spent in space, will also join the team.
The Artemis II mission follows Artemis I, a successful uncrewed test flight of NASA’s Orion capsule that completed a lap around the moon in December. Artemis II is expected to launch in November 2024, sending the crew beyond the moon on a historic journey. The mission will pave the way for Artemis III, which aims to land the first woman and person of color on the moon, marking the return of humans to the lunar surface after nearly five decades.
The Artemis II crew members will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a NASA-developed Space Launch System rocket, heading on a 10-day journey beyond the moon, possibly breaking human travel distance records. Following the lunar flyby, the crew will return to Earth for a splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean.
The space agency’s endeavor to land humans on the moon and pave the way for Mars missions has been ongoing for over a decade. The Artemis program seeks to establish a sustainable lunar presence, preparing for deeper-space missions as NASA seeks to reach Mars.
The diversity of the Artemis II crew highlights a departure from the historically all-White male test pilot teams, aligning with NASA’s shift towards a more inclusive astronaut corps. The astronauts expressed their excitement for the mission and the privilege of being part of the journey to the moon and beyond.
For more details, an exclusive interview with the crew will be aired on “CNN This Morning” on Tuesday at 6 am ET.
