Get to know the four crew members who will be the first to travel beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972.

The Artemis 2 mission will see NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen spend 10 days traveling around the Moon before returning to splashdown off the coast of San Diego, California. The quartet will launch onboard the Orion spacecraft, 'Integrity,' atop a Space Launch System rocket. Liftoff of the Artemis 2 mission is currently scheduled for Wednesday, April 1, at 6:24 p.m. EDT (2224 UTC).

Each day at the same time as T-0 on launch day, we'll introduce you to another member of the flight crew, leading up to their pre-launch arrival in Florida, currently scheduled for Friday, March 27. This video is all about electrical engineer, member of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020, and mission specialist Christina Koch. This will be her second mission to space.

Coming up on Thursday, March 26, : Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen.
