NASA has finally announced who the Artemis II astronauts will be, giving us more insight into the agency's upcoming mission.
The crew will include Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. Every member of the crew of Artemis II astronauts has been specially selected based on their background and previous history. Wiseman has worked with NASA since he first became eligible to be an astronaut in 2009, and he’s completed one prior spaceflight to the International Space Station.
Hansen, who the Canadian Space Agency selected to become an astronaut in 2009, is one of only four active Canadian astronauts. According to, Hansen is also an experienced fighter pilot and recently became the first Canadian put in charge of a new class of NASA astronauts. Glover, another of the Artemis II astronauts, is also heavily experienced and has completed four spacewalks aboard the ISS. The final member of the crew, Christina Koch, is already making huge strides in her career, too. Koch has completed six spacewalks aboard the ISS and broke records in 2019 for being the woman to spend the longest time in space — completing 328 days during a stint that began in 2019.
Artemis II is expected to launch in 2024. The mission will see these four astronauts journey around the Moon in preparation for the third Artemis mission, which will see humanity return to the Moon once more.
