This House resolution honors the crew of the Artemis II mission for their 10-day lunar flyby in April 2026. It lists the selected crew—Pilot Victor Glover, Commander Reid Wiseman, NASA Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen—and records key dates: the crew selection announcement (April 3, 2023), launch from Kennedy Space Center (April 1, 2026), a 10-day lunar flyby that reached 252,756 miles from Earth, and splashdown off San Diego (April 10, 2026). The text notes several "firsts" credited to crew members and says the mission opens doors for future lunar surface landings.
The resolution expresses the House's support for recognizing the Artemis II crew and supports declaring a "National Artemis II Mission Day" to commemorate the mission. It formally congratulates the named astronauts and records details of the mission. No publicly available information on direct legal or practical effects is included in the resolution.
