European & U.S. Astronauts Talk with Houston Media | International Space Station

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli and Lora O’Hara of NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut and current space station Commander, Andy Mogensen of Denmark, discussed life and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview Dec. 4, 2023, with KHOU-TV, Houston and the Houston Chronicle in Texas. 

The trio are in the midst of a long-duration mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.
