Artemis II astronauts cry and hug as they name Moon crater after Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll

On April 6, Canadian astronaut and Artemis II Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen told Mission Control that the crew wanted to suggest names for two craters. He first proposed naming one crater after their Orion capsule, which carries the name 'Integrity.' Then, he singled out a heartfelt note to honor Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, who died of cancer in 2020 at age 46. During the tribute, Hansen's voice broke as he spelled Carroll's name. Wiseman and Christina Koch were also seen wiping away tears. The crew then came together for an emotional hug as Mission Control radioed confirmation on their suggestions.

Artemis II crew proposes naming Moon craters after Reid Wiseman’s late wife and 'Integrity' capsule

After making history on April 6 as the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth, the Artemis II crew captured hearts again by proposing two Moon craters be named in honor of Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll, and their capsule, Integrity. "We lost a loved one. Her name was Carroll, the spouse of Reid, the mother of Katie and Ellie. It's a bright spot on the Moon and we would like to call it Carroll. And you spell that C-A-R-R-O-L-L," Jeremy Hansen told Mission Control in Houston, sharing the heartfelt suggestion on behalf of the crew.

252,752 miles from home: Artemis II astronauts break record for farthest humans from Earth

"We challenge this generation to make sure this record is not long-lived," said Artemis II crew after achieving a new milestone for humankind. They are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth. This record-breaking milestone surpasses the previous mark set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by over 4,100 miles.

NASA addresses "burning smell" reported by Artemis II crew

Recently, the Artemis II crew reported noticing an unusual “burning” smell inside the Orion spacecraft, traced to the hygiene bay area. NASA officials say the odor has not been identified as biological, and there is currently no confirmed connection to the spacecraft’s Universal Waste Management System (UWMS). "For me, it was some sort of burning odor, and then it was definitely in the hygiene bay. And when I opened up the hygiene bay, the rest of the crew could smell it pretty much immediately," Jeremy Hansen had told the Mission Control. Debbie Korth, NASA’s Orion program deputy manager, noted that issues with space toilets are not uncommon. "Space toilets and bathrooms are something everybody can really understand... it’s always a challenge,” she said, noting that the space shuttle toilet was also often on the fritz.

Artemis II Flight Director Judd Frieling on crew facing toilet troubles again in Orion

More than halfway to the Moon, the Artemis II crew is dealing with a familiar challenge—Orion’s toilet system. After an initial malfunction shortly after launch, the issue has resurfaced, with NASA confirming ongoing concerns related to the vent line. While the system still works for liquid waste, the crew is carefully managing tank levels as engineers assess the situation. Backup options remain in place, including contingency devices that can safely vent waste overboard if needed—ensuring the mission continues smoothly despite the hiccup.

Do NASA astronauts tease Canadian teammate Jeremy Hansen? Reid and Victor spill the beans from space

On life aboard Artemis II, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover insist there’s no teasing happening with their Canadian teammate Jeremy Hansen. Reid says they’ve been friends since 2009, and with Jeremy’s calm demeanor, care for others, and smooth performance on his first spaceflight, it’s hard to find anything to joke about.

"Pretty neat": Artemis II crew to observe a rare solar eclipse from space because of perfectly timed launch

Thanks to their April 1 launch, Artemis II astronauts are set to witness a rare sight - the Sun eclipsed by the Moon from space. The three Americans and one Canadian will swing around the Moon in their Orion capsule, hang a U-turn and then head straight back home without stopping. They're the first lunar travellers since Apollo 17 in 1972.

"It felt like we were falling back to Earth": Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen on his first "extraordinary" day in space

On his first day in space, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who is the first non-American astronaut to leave low Earth orbit, experienced the dramatic shift of seeing Earth both up close and from 60,000 km away—all within hours. The crew launched aboard the Orion spacecraft atop NASA’s powerful Space Launch System rocket on April 1 from Kennedy Space Center. Now traveling deep into space, they are nearly as close to the Moon as they are to Earth—and are set to fly by our natural satellite on April 6. A major milestone in humanity’s return to lunar exploration.
