On April 3, we announced the team of space explorers that will embark on the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon and back in 2024: NASAAstronauts Reid Wiseman, AstroVicGlover, and Astro_Christina, and CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut AstroJeremy. Today, they’re taking your questions live.
In 2022, the uncrewed Artemis I mission successfully tested our deep exploration systems — SLS, Orion, and NASAKennedy’s Exploration Ground Systems — with a 25.5-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis II will launch the Orion spacecraft aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on a 10-day mission to test the Orion spacecraft’s life-support systems.
