NASA has revealed the crew for its Artemis III mission, the next step in eventually landing astronauts on the moon. NASA’s Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio, Andre Douglas and the European Space Agency’s Luca Parmitano won’t fly to the moon or land on the surface. Instead, they’ll orbit Earth while practicing docking their Orion capsule with lunar landers. The demo is targeted for 2027. NASA’s Artemis program aims to land astronauts on the moon for the first time since the 1970s.
NASA says it has ordered astronauts aboard the International Space Station to take shelter after a new leak was detected. The five astronauts moved to the docked SpaceX capsule on Friday while cosmonauts worked to fix the leak on the Russian side of the orbiting laboratory. NASA says this was done “out of an abundance of caution.” That part of the space station has suffered from cracks and leaks over the years. NASA said Roscosmos decided on a more extensive repair after fresh leaks were found.
