NASA is to reveal the names on Monday of the astronauts - three Americans and a Canadian - who will fly around the Moon next year, a prelude to returning humans to the lunar surface for the first time in a half century.
The mission, Artemis II, is scheduled to take place in November 2024 with the four-person crew circling the Moon but not landing on it.
