AeroAstro alumni Raja Chari SM '01, Jasmin Moghbeli '05, and Warren “Woody” Hoburg ’08, were among the group of 18 astronauts to form the newly-established Artemis team, which will help tackle the preparations necessary for early moon missions to help establish a modern lunar exploration program. Under the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the next man on the moon in 2024, with the ultimate goal of establishing a long-term human presence on the lunar surface by the end of 2029.
