The next Artemis crew announcement is almost here

A major Artemis announcement is coming. On June 9, NASA will provide a fresh update on the Artemis III mission and unveil the astronauts assigned to the highly anticipated test flight. The live event from Johnson Space Center in Houston could offer the clearest look yet at the next steps in NASA’s journey back to the Moon. Artemis III will test the critical rendezvous and docking operations between the Orion spacecraft and a commercial human landing system, capabilities essential for future Moon missions and the long-term vision of a lunar base. Building on the success of Artemis II, which flew astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft launched by NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), Artemis III will help pave the way for the next era of human lunar exploration. Stay tuned to Starlust as the next chapter of Moon exploration unfolds.
