Artemis II astronauts Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are transitioning to emeritus status at NASA after their historic journey around the Moon earlier this year. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email FULL STORY NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are beginning a new chapter after their historic Artemis II journey around the Moon earlier this year.
In September, both astronauts are transitioning to emeritus status at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The emeritus program allows highly experienced NASA personnel to remain involved with the agency by volunteering their expertise.
In these specialized consulting roles, they can help train and mentor current employees while also gaining more freedom to pursue opportunities outside their previous full time positions. As Glover moves into his new role, he plans to remain involved in aerospace, leadership, and public service both within NASA and beyond the agency.
"There is no better place to work, and there are no better people to work with, than those in this agency," said Wiseman. NASA leaders emphasized that the transition does not mark the end of Glover and Wiseman's contributions to the agency.
