Introducing… the next humans to fly to the Moon.

These four astronauts will venture around the Moon during the Artemis II mission aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft. This historic crewed flight test is just the beginning of NASA’s path to establishing a long-term scientific and human presence on the lunar surface.

Let's meet the crew!

Reid Wiseman, Commander: NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman will serve as Commander of the Artemis II mission. This will be Wiseman’s second trip into space, serving previously as a flight engineer aboard the International Station for Expedition 40/41 in 2014. He has logged 165 days in space, including almost 13 hours of spacewalking time. Wiseman served as chief of the Astronaut Office from December 2020 until November 2022.

Victor Glover, Pilot: NASA Astronaut Victor Glover will make his second flight to space on the Artemis II mission. Glover previously served as pilot on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission, which landed May 2, 2021, after 168 days in space. As a flight engineer aboard the space station for Expedition 64, he contributed to scientific investigations, technology demonstrations, and participated in four spacewalks.

Christina Koch, Mission Specialist: NASA Astronaut Christina Koch will also travel to space for the second time on the Artemis II mission. Koch served as flight engineer aboard the space station for Expeditions 59, 60, and 61. Koch set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman with a total of 328 days in space and participated in the first all-female spacewalk.

Jeremy Hansen, Mission Specialist: Representing Canada, Jeremy Hansen is making his first flight to space as an Artemis II astronaut. In 2017, Hansen became the first Canadian to be entrusted with
leading a NASA astronaut class, overseeing the training of astronaut candidates from the United States and Canada.
