Artemis II crew prepare to lift-off to the moon – the news conference
Artemis II crew prepare to lift-off to the moon
The four astronauts of Artemis II, which will lift off to fly around the Moon in early 2026, are sharing updates on the mission and taking questions from media.
The commander of Nasa’s next mission to the Moon said that he and his crew would “see things that no human has ever seen”.
Reid Wiseman told a news conference that it was likely that his spacecraft would fly over large areas of the Moon that previous Apollo missions had never mapped.
Artemis II, a 10-day mission to confirm the systems and hardware necessary for human deep space travel, is the next step in our journey from the Moon to Mars.
Meet the crew, from NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA):
- Reid Wiseman, commander
- Victor Glover, pilot
- Christina Koch, mission specialist
