NASA and the Canadian Space Agency will announce the names of the four astronauts for the first crewed flight of the Artemis mission around the moon on April 3 at 10 a.m. (CDT) from NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston. The four astronauts will venture aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission. It will be part of the agency’s path to establishing a long-term scientific and human presence on the lunar surface. The event will air on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

Regional Note: NASA’s moon rocket was built at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East. Stennis Space Center, Miss., test-fired each of the four RS-25 engines that will launch Artemis at the Fred Haise Test Stand. The center also tested the engines in unison during the full-duration, 500-second Green Run test of the Artemis I SLS core stage.
