NASA has graduated its latest class of astronauts, known as ‘The Flies,’ and is now accepting applications for its next group of candidates. The graduation ceremony, held at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, celebrated the unique talents that the new class brings to NASA. With the addition of these 10 members, the Astronaut Office now has a total of 48 active members. The International Space Station, the moon, and eventually Mars are all part of NASA’s future missions. ‘The Flies’ are the first class to graduate since the Artemis program was announced, which aims to send astronauts back to the moon. The program has already named the crew for Artemis 2, the first crewed flight around the moon in over 50 years. While ‘The Flies’ may not be the first in line for the moon landing, they will play important technical roles in supporting the missions. NASA is now recruiting for its 24th class of astronauts, with applications open until April 2.
