Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
Nasa has named the astronauts who'll blast off in the next Artemis mission, with a view to eventually returning humans to the Moon.
The crew of four will launch on the Orion spacecraft next year from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Originally a crewed Moon landing, Artemis III will instead fly in low Earth orbit and test special manoeuvres and dock with prototype lunar landers.
US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Heather du Plessis-Allan the first crewed lunar landing is now the Artemis IV, set for 2028.
