NASA just revealed the 4 astronauts who will lead its next giant leap back to the Moon. The 2027 Artemis III mission will be commanded by Randy Bresnik, with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano serving as pilot and astronauts Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas joining as mission specialists. Unlike earlier plans, Artemis III is now expected to test docking and rendezvous operations between NASA’s Orion spacecraft and commercial lunar landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin in Earth orbit before future lunar landing missions. NASA says the mission will be a critical proving ground for the technology needed to return astronauts to the lunar surface.
