Artemis II lunar crater naming

Artemis II lunar crater naming

The crew shared the emotional request with mission control in Houston, noting that the crater is a 'bright spot' on the lunar surface.

Carroll Wiseman passed away from cancer in 2020, and the dedication serves as a tribute to her support of her husband's career.

The second crater will be named 'Integrity' after the mission's Orion spacecraft.

NASA officials expressed their support for the naming, which will be formally submitted to the International Astronomical Union for approval.
