Congratulations to #PBKMember @Astro_Christina (ΦΒΚ, @NCState) on being announced as a crew member for the #Artemis II @NASA mission, which will send four astronauts around the Moon and back. Your liberal arts and sciences degree can really take you anywhere!
Meet the first member of our #Artemis II Moon crew: mission specialist @Astro_Christina!
Christina Koch visited the @Space_Station in 2019, where she took part in the first all-woman spacewalk. She began her career as an electrical engineer at @NASAGoddard.

The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the U.S. flag on her left shoulder, one with her name and a pair of wings on her chest, and one with the NASA “meatball” insignia faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Koch’s face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASA
