Artemis II Astronauts Facing Higher Exposure to Radiation on Mission
- The Artemis II astronauts include Reid Wiseman, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch, and Victor Glover on a 10-day mission involving a lunar flyby starting in April 2026.

- The crew lives in a compact capsule about the size of a campervan, where they use exercise equipment and manage limited space and resources.
- After the mission, astronauts undergo rehabilitation to regain muscle strength and adjust to Earth's gravity, with the data aiding future Mars mission preparations.
