The four astronauts of NASA's Artemis II mission will participate in an event hosted by industry and community partners at the University of Houston to discuss their mission around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft. It will be the first event in Houston for the public following their lunar mission earlier this year and marks the conclusion of their post-flight campaign.

Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch of NASA and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen will share highlights from their mission at 7 p.m. CDT Wednesday, Sept. 30, during the free, public event at University of Houston's Fertitta Center. Additionally, the National Aeronautic Association will recognize the crew for surpassing the record for human spaceflight's farthest distance traveled, previously set by the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
