Baltimores Reid Wiseman to Command Artemis Two Mission: First Crewed Trip Around the Moon in Decades
Reid Wiseman, a Springdale native and Dulaney High School graduate, is set to lead NASAs Artemis Two mission, the first crewed trip around the moon in over half a century. The four-person crew, including NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen, will travel thousands of miles past the moons far side before returning to Earth.
Wisemans journey began with model planes and rockets, leading to a degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a 27-year Navy career with deployments and combat medals, and NASA selection in 2009. He logged nearly 13 hours on spacewalks during a 2014 International Space Station stint.
Back in Baltimore County, Wiseman is connected to Dulaney educators, inspiring kids with space updates and encouraging them to pursue science and engineering. His mission demonstrates how local roots can propel one to the stars.
Artemis Two will test Orions life support, communications, and manual piloting without landing, providing valuable data for NASAs moon base plans and a potential lunar south pole touchdown by 2028. This mission marks significant steps toward humanitys next giant leap in space exploration.
