Meet NASA astronaut Christina Koch, one of the mission specialists aboard our Artemis II flight around the Moon.
A seasoned spacefarer, Koch served as flight engineer aboard the International Space Station for Expeditions 59, 60, and 61. Koch set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, with a total of 328 days in space, and participated in the first all-female spacewalk.
As one of two mission specialists aboard the flight, Koch has trained for all roles so she can jump into action wherever she's needed.
