On Monday, April 3, 2023, NASA announced them as the crew who will be the first to fly the Orion capsule, launching atop a Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than late 2024.
“This is a big day. We have a lot to celebrate and it’s so much more than the four names that have been announced," Glover said. The Canadian Space Agency snagged a seat because of its contributions of big robotic arms on NASA's space shuttles and the space station. One is also planned for the moon project.“We are going to the moon together. Let’s go!” he said.
NASA picked from 41 active astronauts for its first Artemis crew. Canada had four candidates. Almost all of them took part in Monday's ceremony at Johnson Space Center's Ellington Field, a pep rally of sorts that ended with Wiseman leading the crowd in a chant.

The first moon crew in 50 years includes one woman and three men, one of them a Canadian. NASA introduced them Monday during a ceremony in Houston. The four are NASA's Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canada's Jeremy Hansen. They will not land or even go into lunar orbit. Rather, they will fly around the moon and head straight back to Earth. The 10-day mission will be a prelude to a lunar landing a year later.
