Announcing the winner of the Museum’s 2027 Michael Collins Trophy for Current Achievement: The Artemis II Mission Team

@NASA's Artemis II mission captured the attention of the world in April 2026 as commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen traveled around the Moon and back — the first crewed deep space mission in over 50 years.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

@NASAAdmin @NASAJPL Thanks, Jared. You are a great mentor, friend, leader, and advocate. Let’s go!

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Pasadena, California here we come!

I am thrilled to join @Caltech and @NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as they continue their legacy into the next 90 years of deep space exploration... The stars are calling and WE MUST GO!

Go Christina GO! Proud of this crew every day… NASA Names Astronaut Christina Koch Acting Deputy Chief Engineer https://t.co/cqJ3hmJQ7y via @NASA

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

I’ve known Reid and Victor for years, and I’m grateful for everything they have given to NASA, including helping return America to the lunar environment on Artemis II.

I’m especially glad that service is continuing.

Through the emeritus program, they’ll keep mentoring astronauts, flight controllers, and engineers and passing along the experience that will help make Artemis III and the missions that follow stronger.

Thank you both for everything you’ve done, and everything you’ll keep doing.

Houston, we have speed 🚀

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman will take a ride in the Fastest Seat in Sports at the @Freedom250GP.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Godspeed and enjoy the ride my friend! Anil was my deputy crew surgeon waaaaay back in 2014 and our friendship has continued since. A great human!!

[Anil Menon @astro_anil]

Cool moment at T-5 putting an expedition 75 sticker on the launch bus. We will be joining 74 but 75 is not far off……

@AstroVicGlover My absolute favorite!

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Ran into my buddy @TaylorHose today…

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Can’t wait to see what’s next, my friend!!

Feeling grateful today for my Artemis II crewmate and one of my closest friends @Astro_Jeremy. Jeremy and I have been on this journey together for 17 years.

One thing that’s never changed is Jeremy’s character. He’s thoughtful, humble, steady under pressure, and the kind of person who makes everyone around him better. Those are the qualities that make him an incredible crewmate and an even better friend.

As Jeremy transitions from a full‑time role at @csa_asc, I’m proud to watch this next chapter unfold.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

I was excited for today…excited to cheer on the Agency and my friends as we named the Artemis III crew.

What I didn’t expect was the feeling of complete, unbridled happiness in my soul as @Astro_Jeremy (from afar), @Astro_Christina, @AstroVicGlover and I ceremonially handed our baton to the next crew.

We did it, and we did it well. @AstroKomrade, @astro_luca, Frank Rubio, @Astro_AndreD — you have the controls!! You will do it, and I know you will do it well. Godspeed, Artemis III

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

@Astro_Jeremy @NASAArtemis @csa_asc @Astro_Christina @AstroVicGlover Incredible.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

The view from inside Integrity as recovery forces pop open the hatch…watching the helicopter pass over their shoulders and hearing all the joy, it was as good as it gets.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Last week, we took the mission to the heart of New York City. The Artemis II crew showed the country what’s next.

America is ready to go back to the Moon. Artemis II is just the beginning. 🌕

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

I meticulously color-balanced and incrementally saturated this photo of the back side of the moon until I could see how impacts "paint" the lunar surface with different minerals

This is just a snippet of my collaboration with @astro_reid, who took this during a lunar flyby.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Single unedited raw photo vs processed stack, captured from behind the moon. The color is there, just so faint it takes dozens of photos to extract

Lunar photography to the absolute extreme

Just a hint of what I'm doing with the photos captured by @astro_reid during Artemis II

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

@Jared_Carrabis Love this!

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Been waiting for this moment. There is a lot in my head that I must process and very little has to do with leaving the planet. Today is my first step. I have never in my life felt peace like this.
