The awards ceremony is scheduled for around 11:40 a.m. at NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The medal honors astronauts for their exceptionally meritorious efforts benefiting the nation and humanity. These four astronauts-Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and jeremy Hansen-became the first humans in decades to return to the moon&#8217;s orbital region, setting a record for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth. The event highlights significant advancements in space exploration,including recent NASA crew announcements for the Artemis III mission and related space activities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump <\/a>will present the Congressional Space Medal of Honor on Friday to the four <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/artemis\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"21887\">Artemis II <\/a>crew members to honor their flight around the moon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/space\/4600424\/nasa-announce-crew-artemis-iii-mission\/\">NASA ANNOUNCES CREW FOR ARTEMIS III MISSION<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4704139\/watch-live-trump-awards-the-congressional-space-medal-of-honor\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>WATCH LIVE: Trump awards the Congressional Space Medal of Honor<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/space\/4702639\/nasa-data-center-space\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>NASA head floats sending data centers to space<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4692392\/nasa-images-show-crater-carved-by-a-spacex-rocket\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Before-and-after NASA images show crater carved by a SpaceX rocket that slammed into the moon<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump will give the awards to astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen at around 11:40 a.m. on Friday morning at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
