Summary
June 9 at 11 a.m., NASA will announce the Artemis III crew, with a live public watch party planned at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's Rocket Garden.
Artemis III is scheduled to launch in 2027, sending astronauts aboard Orion atop the Space Launch System into low Earth orbit.
In orbit, the crew will test rendezvous and docking with commercial spacecraft, a key step for landing astronauts on the Moon.
The announcement marks a visible milestone for NASA's Artemis program as it moves from mission planning toward assigning the crew for its next lunar flight.
