NASA Artemis II astronauts transition from spaceflight

Overview

Following the successful lunar orbit mission of Artemis II, the four crew members have announced their retirement from active spaceflight.

Among the crew, Christina Koch is transitioning into a leadership role at NASA headquarters. She has been named acting deputy chief engineer, succeeding Katherine Van Hooser, who is retiring after more than 35 years of service. In this management capacity, Koch will oversee the agency’s engineering workforce and mission preparation, though the move makes her ineligible for future spaceflight assignments.
