Less than a week after completing a historic trip around the moon, NASA's Artemis II crew will make one of their first public appearances together.
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen, will take questions from the media during an April 16 news conference, NASA announced. The event would come almost a week since the astronauts returned to Earth after a 10-day journey that saw them swinging by the moon without landing.
The second mission under NASA's multibillion-dollar Artemis program, Artemis II was the first lunar venture in more than 50 years to carry a crew within the vicinity of the moon. The mission served as a vital test flight as the U.S. space agency looks to put boots on the lunar surface in the years ahead and build a longterm base on the moon's south pole.
Here's what to know about the Artemis II news conference and how to watch NASA's live coverage.
Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen are set to take questions from the media Thursday, April 16, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, according to NASA.
