Commercial Crew-13 Astronauts in VAB

Wearing their blue flight suits, NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, and Stan Love, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and NASA astronaut Anil Menon, meet with teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida during a visit to the Vehicle Assembly Building on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. The astronauts viewed NASA’s Artemis III SLS (Space Launch System) core stage and Artemis IV SLS core stage engine section. Artemis III will launch astronauts to low Earth orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft on top of SLS to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft needed to land Artemis IV astronauts on the Moon in 2028.
