The Artemis II crew makes history, including the first woman, first Black person, and first non-American astronaut to travel to the Moon.
As NASA's Artemis program prepares for its next giant leap, the four astronauts selected for the Artemis II mission are set to make history. This crew represents a remarkable milestone, as it includes the first woman, the first Black person, and the first non-American astronaut to travel to the lunar environment.
The Artemis II Crew
The Artemis II mission will be led by Reid Wiseman, a veteran NASA astronaut who has previously spent six months aboard the International Space Station. Joining Wiseman are Christina Hammock Koch, the first woman to participate in an Artemis lunar mission, and Victor Glover, the first Black astronaut to embark on a long-duration space station expedition.
