WATCHLIVE NASA is announcing the four astronauts who will fly on historic Artemis II mission
NASA and the Canadian Space Agency are preparing to announce the four astronauts who will partake in the next Artemis mission and fly around the moon.
It comes after the Artemis I mission was completed in December last year after spending 25.5 days in space and making a 1.4-million-mile journey around the moon, according to NASA. It will be the first crewed mission aboard NASA's new Orion spacecraft and the first to launch on the agency's new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System.
The mission broke several records including the longest spacewalk and largest lunar samples brought back to Earth and also involved several experiments, including sending five mice into space with the crew.
