NASA unveiled the four astronauts selected for its Artemis III mission on Tuesday at Johnson Space Center in Houston. The crew will test docking procedures with lunar landers in low Earth orbit ahead of a planned launch no earlier than summer 2027.

The all-male crew includes NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik as commander, Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio as mission specialists, and Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency as pilot. Three members bring prior spaceflight experience, with Rubio holding the NASA record for longest continuous time in space at 371 days. The announcement followed the successful Artemis II lunar flyby mission completed in April. Artemis III will involve three separate launches and focus on proximity operations and docking tests with vehicles from Blue Origin and SpaceX, without traveling to the Moon. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman expressed confidence in the timeline despite a May 28 explosion that damaged Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket and launchpad. Officials said the company aims to return the rocket to flight in time to support the 2027 mission.

NASA sets Artemis III for late 2027 Earth orbit tests

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told lawmakers that SpaceX and Blue Origin expect their lunar landers to be ready for the Artemis III mission in late 2027. The mission will now test the landers in Earth orbit rather than attempting a lunar landing. This change aims to reduce risks and increase launch frequency.
