NASA Astronaut Kayla Barron | SpaceX Crew-3 Mission Specialist

One NASA astronaut is learning first-hand if serving on a submarine was good preparation for a trip to space. NASA’s Kayla Barron had three submarine patrol missions in the Navy, and now she has put that background to use as a flight engineer on the International Space Station. The Naval Academy graduate from Richland, Washington, began her first space mission on Nov. 10, 2021, and has completed one spacewalk so far on a planned six-month-long mission as part of Expedition#66.
