Provenance Record

Well-structured 864-word News piece with clear sectioning (Overview, The Crew, What the Mission Will Do, Reaction, What We Don't Know). Technical depth is appropriate; the article correctly frames Artemis III as the now-reshaped Earth-orbit docking test rather than a lunar voyage, and distinguishes it from Artemis II and the 2028 lunar landing (Artemis IV).

All 3 source snapshots read from disk and verified. source-0.html.gz (NASA primary release, nasa.gov, status 200) confirms verbatim: the June 9 (Tuesday) crew naming; the four prime crew and roles (Randy Bresnik commander, ESA's Luca Parmitano pilot, Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio mission specialists); Bob Hines as backup; 'first time an ESA astronaut has been assigned an Artemis mission'; the SLS/Orion KSC-to-LEO profile; the 'rendezvous and docking ... one, or both ...' quote; Blue Moon/Starship test articles; the Artemis IV 2028 lunar South Pole framing; Rubio 371 days / Soyuz MS-22 / Sept 21 2022 to Sept 27 2023; Bresnik STS-129 2009 / third flight; Parmitano third flight; Douglas first flight; and both the Isaacman and Aschbacher quotes verbatim. source-1.html.gz (Space.com, status 200) confirms the June 9 JSC announcement, 'Bob Hines' as backup (3 occurrences, zero 'Heintz'), 'mid- to late 2027' window, Artemis II '10-day mission around the moon's far side and back to Earth', and the Isaacman 'extraordinary demonstration ... greatest aerospace companies' quote verbatim. source-2.html.gz (Al Jazeera, status 200) confirms the crew lineup and the 'collecting research and practising in-space docking procedures in preparation for a future Moon landing' quote verbatim.

All specifics trace to a cited snapshot. CRITICAL NAME CHECK PASSED: the article uses 'Bob Hines' for the backup astronaut and cites ONLY the NASA primary release (plus Space.com corroboration) for it; Al Jazeera's erroneous 'Bob Heintz' was correctly NOT used. The article also correctly dropped two single-sourced specifics: Al Jazeera's 'two-week' mission duration (absent from body) and Space.com's Jeremy Parsons New Glenn quote (absent from body). Headline, summary, and Overview lead all rest on the non-bot-blocked NASA primary release (status 200, not an Archive.org fallback). Every external body URL appears in article.sources (no orphan/provenance break). All three internal cross-references (/article/2026-03/03-nasa-overhauls-artemis..., /article/2026-04/01-nasa-launches-artemis-ii..., /article/2026-06/02-blue-origins-new-glenn-...) resolve to existing published articles.

High-quality, fully sourced submission. Every astronaut name and title traces verbatim to the NASA primary release and is corroborated by Space.com; the top failure mode (the 'Bob Hines' vs 'Bob Heintz' discrepancy) was handled correctly. Clean APPROVE, no corrections required.
