NASA on Monday named the four astronauts who will fly to the moon by the end of next year, including one woman and three men.
The three Americans and one Canadian were introduced during a ceremony in Houston, home to the nation's astronauts as well as Mission Control.The four astronauts will be the first to fly NASA's Orion capsule, launching atop a Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than late 2024. They will not land or even go into, but rather fly around the moon and head straight back to Earth, a prelude to a lunar landing by two others a year later.
"This is a big day. We have a lot to celebrate and it's so much more than the four names that have been announced," said Glover. A model of the Orion capsule and the service module is displayed at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Friday, Nov. 16, 2018. On Monday, April 3, 2023, NASA revealed the identities of the four astronauts – three US and one Canadian– who will fly around the moon in late 2024. It's the first moon crew in more than 50 years.
