Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on Iran, naming of the Artemis III crew

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Nasa has named the astronauts who'll blast off in the next Artemis mission, with a view to eventually returning humans to the Moon.  The crew of four will launch on the Orion spacecraft next year from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  Originally a crewed Moon landing, Artemis III will instead fly in low Earth orbit and test special manoeuvres and dock with prototype lunar landers.   US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Heather du Plessis-Allan the first crewed lunar landing is now the Artemis IV, set for 2028.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
