Overview

Following the retirement of the Artemis II crew from active astronaut duty after their historic lunar flyby in April, Wiseman was appointed as the Caltech associate vice president and deputy director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He is scheduled to begin this role on November 30, 2026. Other crew members have also transitioned to new roles: Victor Glover became an executive advisor at California Polytechnic State University, Christina Koch was named NASA’s acting deputy chief engineer, and Jeremy Hansen entered reservist duty with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
