NASA has named the Artemis III crew: the four astronauts who will fly SLS to Earth orbit and test both Blue Origin’s Blue Moon and SpaceX’s Starship landers ahead of the first crewed lunar landing. In this video we break down the full mission profile for Commander Randy Bresnik, Pilot Luca Parmitano, Mission Specialist 1 Frank Rubio, and Mission Specialist 2 Andre Douglas. From their impressive flight records and spacewalking experience to the complex multi-launch campaign - featuring a Blue Origin lander demonstrator, a stock Starship for proximity operations and docking, and in-space testing of the new Axiom AxEMU spacesuit - we cover exactly what Artemis III will accomplish in low Earth orbit before the 2028 lunar attempt. NASA also provided the latest Artemis III schedule update, including the planned summer 2027 launch target and preparations already underway at Kennedy Space Center. If you’re following the return to the Moon, this is the crew and the mission you need to know. 🔗 Article version - https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2026/06/artemis-iii-veteran-astronauts-test-lunar-landers-leo/ 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from Max Rvans, Jerry Pike, D Wise, Starbase Live, NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, ESA, United States Navy, United States Air Force, Roscosmos, Axiom Space. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
