NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara launched to the International Space Station for the first time on Sept. 15, 2023, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Her launch signifies a lifetime of dedication to exploration for O’Hara, who grew space-flown tomato seeds in the second grade, studied aerospace engineering in college, and even worked on scientific research vessels to study Earth’s oceans before coming to NASA. 

O’Hara will serve as an Expedition 69 and 70 flight engineer over the course of her six-month mission. During her stay at the orbiting laboratory, she will work on hundreds of science experiments across a variety of disciplines including biology, physics, and physiology.
