President Trump will honor the four-person Artemis II crew Friday at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, months after the astronauts completed the first crewed mission around the moon in more than 50 years.
The mission, which took the crew further into space than ever before, was a major step in the Trump administration’s push to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2028.
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, along with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor during the ceremony.
Trump is also set to call the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
The event is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT.
