Artemis II moonshot commander and pilot are hanging up their astronaut suits at NASA
The two Artemis II leaders will keep mentoring NASA teams as the agency leans on their experience for future moon missions.
- On Wednesday, NASA announced that Commander Reid Wiseman and Pilot Victor Glover are stepping down from active astronaut status, transitioning to emeritus roles while continuing to support the moon exploration program.
- Earlier this year, the pair led the Artemis II moonshot, completing a 10-day mission that traveled farther into space than any humans before them, splashing down April 10.
- Glover began a leadership position at California Polytechnic State University on Sept. 1, while Wiseman's future plans remain undisclosed; both will continue mentoring NASA staff and sharing operational knowledge as emeritus consultants.
- As emeritus astronauts, the pair will continue supporting the moon exploration program, helping prepare for future Artemis III and Artemis IV missions, as NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman expressed gratitude for their contributions.
- Christina Koch remains the only active member of the Artemis II crew following this transition, as Jeremy Hansen, the Canadian Space Agency astronaut who flew the mission, retired from the agency in July.
