Reid Wiseman is a NASA astronaut and the Commander of the Artemis II mission, NASA’s first crewed flight to the Moon in over 50 years. Born on November 28, 1975, in Baltimore, Maryland, Wiseman is a former U.S. Navy test pilot and fighter pilot with over 3,500 flight hours in more than 30 different aircraft. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2009 as part of the 20th astronaut class. Wiseman flew to space for the first time in 2014 aboard the Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft, spending 165 days on the International Space Station (ISS) as a flight engineer for Expedition 40/41. During his mission, he conducted two spacewalks totaling over 12 hours. In April 2023, NASA announced that Reid Wiseman would command Artemis II — the first crewed mission of the Artemis program. He will lead a four-person international crew on a lunar flyby mission scheduled for launch in 2026. Known for his leadership skills, calm demeanor, and extensive experience as both a pilot and astronaut, Wiseman is widely regarded as one of NASA’s most capable commanders for this historic return to the Moon.
