NASA looks ahead to Artemis III after successful lunar mission
As Artemis II astronauts readjust to life after their successful lunar mission, NASA is now looking forward to the Artemis III mission which will focus on docking tests with privately-built spacecraft. Then comes the Artemis IV mission to return to the moon's surface.
The four crew members from Artemis II are holding a news conference to speak about their mission around the moon this afternoon. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen are taking questions at 2:30 p.m. ET from Houston, where NASA has said they are "undergoing standard post-flight reconditioning, evaluations and lunar science debriefs."
The Orion capsule and its four-member crew hurtled back into Earth's atmosphere and splashed safely down off the coast of California last week after nearly 10 days in space, bringing a textbook end to humankind's first trip to the moon in more than 50 years.
The mission sent humans farther from Earth than ever before. It was also the first crewed flight of NASA's multibillion-dollar Artemis program, testing survival systems for later missions the administration hopes will send astronauts back to the lunar surface by 2028.
