NASA Announces Initial Artemis Team of Astronauts

At NASA, we have always answered the innate call to go. Now, we’re returning to the Moon under the Artemis program to learn to live and work on another world for the benefit of humanity.

We selected an initial team of NASA astronauts – the Artemis Team – to help pave the way for the next lunar missions including sending the first woman and next man to walk on the lunar surface in 2024 in the Orion Spacecraft being developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

And we are not doing this alone. International partnerships are key to long-term exploration and some of their astronauts will join the Artemis Team later. Together, we will define this incredible Artemis Generation of science and lunar exploration that doesn’t stop at the Moon, rather, prepares humanity for our next giant leap, Mars.
