Artemis II Crew Glover and Wiseman Move to NASA Emeritus Status for Artemis III Support
Artemis II veterans Glover and Wiseman enter emeritus consulting roles at NASA to transfer Orion and rendezvous expertise directly to Artemis III teams. The move formalizes knowledge retention ahead of the 2027 docking demonstration while allowing external commitments. Evidence rests on official NASA statements and career timelines rather than new empirical data.
The transition also signals NASA’s intent to retain experienced personnel amid competition from commercial crew programs. Glover has signaled continued involvement in leadership development outside the agency, while Wiseman emphasized family support and long-term program continuity. Both remain available for targeted training through at least 2028.
NASA Astronaut Office: At least two Artemis III crew members will complete documented Orion docking simulations with Glover or Wiseman by March 2027.
