Moon Crater Named Carroll Honors Commander Reid Wiseman’s Late Wife

On April 6, 2026, during a historic lunar flyby, the Artemis II crew proposed naming two moon craters. One crater was named “Carroll” in memory of Carroll Taylor Wiseman, the wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman, who died of cancer in 2020. The second crater was named “Integrity,” after the name the crew gave to their Orion spacecraft. The crew—consisting of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen—proposed these names after breaking the record for the farthest human spaceflight, surpassing the milestone previously held by the Apollo 13 mission at a distance of 248,655 miles from Earth. NASA will submit these proposed names to the International Astronomical Union for official approval.
