Artemis III Crew Announcement

Meet the astronauts of Artemis III! We're providing an update on Artemis III, and we’ll introduce the mission’s four crew members. During the test flight, the crew will lift off aboard NASA's Space Launch System rocket and remain in low Earth orbit where they’ll test our ability to meet and dock the Orion spacecraft with commercial human landers, operations which are needed to land astronauts on the Moon.

On 9 June, NASA announced the crew for the Artemis III mission, which includes ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano as pilot. ESA is also providing its third European Service Module for this crewed test flight in Earth orbit, which will be key for the mission’s objective to test rendezvous and docking capabilities ahead of future lunar landing missions. Along with Luca, three NASA astronauts will fly on this mission: commander Randy Bresnik and lander specialists Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas. The crew now begins a rigorous training schedule to learn the Orion spacecraft systems, as well as the operations of the human landing systems, to prepare for an ambitious series of demonstrations ahead of a Moon landing mission.
