NASA to Unveil Next Artemis Crew on June 9
NASA is preparing to announce the astronauts who will crew the upcoming Artemis 3 docking mission in Earth orbit. The reveal is scheduled for June 9, according to the space agency.
The Artemis 3 mission represents a key step in NASA's broader lunar exploration program, with the docking mission serving as a precursor to deeper crewed operations beyond Earth orbit. The announcement will provide the public with its first official look at the astronauts who will carry out this mission next year.
The Artemis program has been working toward returning humans to the Moon, and this upcoming crew announcement marks another milestone in those efforts. Details about the selected astronauts and their specific roles within the mission have not yet been disclosed ahead of the official reveal.
