Artemis Missions: Celebrating Women and Diversity in Space Exploration.
TL;DR
Christina Koch, who set the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, will become the first woman to fly to the Moon as part of the Artemis 2 mission. The mission will confirm that NASA's Orion spacecraft operates as expected with a crew on board in deep space. Koch will act as a mission specialist, supporting Artemis 2 with her extensive experience in engineering and working in space. She hopes to inspire the next generation and see the first female put footprints on the Moon.
