Artemis 2 astronauts ready for historic Moon mission
Story 3
NASA’s Artemis 2 crew says they are fully prepared for their upcoming mission, which will send the first woman and the first Black man into lunar orbit.
Mission Commander Reid Wiseman described the 10-day flight around the Moon as a test mission, with the team ready for any scenario as they travel aboard the Orion spacecraft, now named Integrity.
The crew includes astronauts Christina Koch and Victor Glover from NASA, and first-timer Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.
The mission will mark the farthest human journey into deep space, extending up to 9,000 miles beyond the Moon, and will pave the way for a future crewed lunar landing under the Artemis Program.
