La NASA dio a conocer este lunes a los cuatro tripulantes de la misión Artemis II que en 2024 llevarán a cabo una misión espacial de diez días alrededor de la Luna, preparatoria del regreso del hombre al satélite de la Tierra

Los miembros de la tripulación de la Artemis II son: Reid Wiseman (comandante), Victor Glover (piloto), el miembro de la agencia canadiense espacial Jeremy Hansen y Christina Koch, ambos especialistas de la misión.

Los cuatro despegarán en noviembre de 2024 desde Florida (Estados Unidos) a bordo de la nave Orion y el potente cohete SLS, los cuales ya tuvieron una primera prueba con la exitosa misión Artemis I.
