Four astronauts selected for NASA’s Artemis II mission have arrived in Florida, entering the final phase of preparations for the first crewed journey toward the Moon in more than five decades.
According to sources, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen hopped out of Northrop T-38 jets that they flew from Houston, Texas, to NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre, where they could launch to space as soon as April 1 aboard NASA’s towering Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
While interacting with media persons, the crew said that they will ride inside an Orion crew capsule built to carry humans into deep space. The roughly 10-day mission will send the crew on a high-speed loop around the Moon and back.
