Four astronauts are preparing to make history with #ArtemisII, NASA’s first crewed mission around the Moon in over 50 years. Scheduled for liftoff in early 2026, this mission marks a major milestone in humanity’s return to lunar exploration.
Among the crew is Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut who will become the first Canadian to participate in a crewed lunar mission. As a mission specialist, Hansen will manage critical systems, support scientific experiments, and assist in guiding the crew toward their objectives.
Artemis II is a stepping stone for NASA’s broader goal of returning humans to the lunar surface and laying the foundation for future deep-space exploration, including Mars. The world eagerly awaits this historic journey that represents international collaboration and a new era of space exploration.
