Artemis Moon Mission Launches with Wiseman and Crew; RPI Featured in Space Effort
The Artemis program launched on April 1, marking the first manned Moon mission since 1972. The crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—lifted off to begin a mission signaling renewed human exploration of the Moon.
In parallel coverage, Wiseman, a 1997 alumnus of RPI, strapped into the Orion spacecraft in April for humanity's first lunar voyage in more than half a century, carrying the hopes of a new generation of space explorers and the legacy of the nation's oldest technical school.
