NASA Artemis II crewed lunar mission launches with four-astronaut crew

NASA's Artemis II test flight is launching with a four-person crew—U.S. astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, plus Canadian Jeremy Hansen—for a 10-day lunar orbit mission. This marks the first crewed lunar voyage in over 50 years and represents a major milestone in NASA's lunar return program. The mission serves as a precursor validation before Artemis III targets lunar surface landing.
