HOUSTON, Texas -- The Artemis II crew is getting big recognition from President Donald Trump this week.

NASA announced that the four-person crew will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor during a ceremony on Friday.

The event will be held at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, completed a 10-day mission around the moon back in April, marking the first time humans returned to the moon in more than 50 years.
