Meet Aggies behind Artemis II

NASA's April 2026 Artemis II mission rocketed humans the farthest away from Earth any have ever been. Over 150 Aggies worked on this historic mission, from engineering to communications to splashdown. See below a list of all known Aggies who worked on Artemis II, organized by Class year, sourced with help from Susan Baggerman ’99 at NASA.

While not an Aggie, Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman is an Aggie dad to daughters Ellie '28 and Katey '30. That also means the moon's "Carroll Crater," named by Wiseman's crew in an emotional dedication to his late wife, is named for an Aggie mom: tx.ag/CarrollCrater.
