Four-man crew named for next mission in Artemis moon programme

NASA has named a four-man crew, comprising three Americans and one Italian, for the next mission in the Artemis moon programme. While these astronauts will not walk on the Moon or travel near it, their role is essential. Artemis III will test crucial systems necessary for the planned Artemis V Moon landing in 2028. This mission serves as a critical step in preparing the technology and systems required for future lunar landings within the programme.
