NASA's SpaceX Crew-7 Commander & Astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli

Official portraits of NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli in an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU)—the spacesuit worn by the astronauts during spacewalks on the International Space Station. Moghbeli will be the spacecraft commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission—the agency’s seventh rotational mission to the International Space Station. Moghbeli is a naval aviator, test pilot, and aerospace engineer. This will be the first spaceflight for Moghbeli, who became a NASA astronaut in 2017.

NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli will join European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov of Russia, and astronaut Satoshi Furukawa from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
