This test flight will be the first of the Artemis Program to have human beings on board: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch; and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. These four brave souls will travel over 7000 kilometers beyond the Moon!
This trip is expected to last about ten days. Celebration is in order, and HRPO will provide it!
