President Trump will present the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to all four Artemis II astronauts at NASA's Johnson Space Center on Friday, Aug. 28, at 10 a.m. CDT.

The ceremony honors Commander Reid Wiseman, a Friendswood resident, along with Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen. The four completed a 10-day crewed lunar flyby that ended April 10, making them the first humans to travel beyond the Moon in more than 50 years.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who recommended the crew for the honor, will join Trump at the ceremony, NASA said in a press release.

The crew traveled 695,081 miles total during the mission, according to Fox 9. They reached a maximum distance of 252,756 miles from Earth, surpassing the record Apollo 13 astronauts set in 1970, The Guardian reported. The flight was also the first crewed test of NASA's Orion spacecraft.

"This was not easy," Wiseman told reporters after the April 10 splashdown. "Before you launch, it feels like it's the greatest dream on Earth. And when you're out there, you just want to get back to your families and your friends."

The Congressional Space Medal of Honor has been awarded since 1978. Thirty astronauts have received it, including Neil Armstrong, John Glenn and the crews who died aboard the Challenger and Columbia shuttles, the Houston Chronicle reported. The medal goes to astronauts who have made "exceptionally meritorious efforts and contributions to the welfare of the nation and of mankind," according to NASA.

Despite its name, the president awards the medal, not Congress. Isaacman recommended the Artemis II crew to Trump for the honor.

Trump spoke with the crew during their mission and hosted them at the White House on April 29. He called them "modern day pioneers," according to the Houston Chronicle.

Trump is also scheduled to attend a private Republican fundraiser in Houston on Thursday, Aug. 27, News Radio 1200 WOAI reported.

NASA plans to livestream the Friday ceremony at nasa.gov/live. The agency's next major lunar milestone is Artemis IV, which aims to land astronauts on the Moon in early 2028.
