NASA is gearing up to reveal the four lucky astronauts that will be sent on a flyby of the moon in the Artemis II mission.
NASA will soon reveal the four lucky astronauts that will be sent on a flyby of the moon in the Artemis II mission.
Following the same route as last year’s Artemis I mission that tested the new spaceflight hardware, the four astronauts will come within just 80 miles of the lunar surface in what will be the first crewed voyage to the moon in five decades. It will also fly humans further from Earth than ever before, to a point about 270,000 miles away.
Both missions will take NASA and its counterparts another step closer to building a permanent astronaut base on the moon, paving the way for long-duration missions similar to how astronauts currently live and work aboard the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit. In related news, NASA also said that it will reveal its next-generation spacesuits in a special event on Wednesday, March 15.
