Repost from @MITAeroAstro “We’re a united team with a common mission.” AeroAstro alumna and astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli ‘05 (@astrojaws) is the mission commander on SpaceX’s Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station, which launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Saturday, August 26, 2023. Moghbeli leads an international crew that also includes astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, for a science expedition aboard the orbital laboratory. Crew-7 is SpaceX’s seventh commercial crew rotation mission for NASA. Crew-7 joined Crew-6 aboard the ISS, and the two crews shared the space for about a week before Crew-6’s return to Earth on September 4. AeroAstro alum Warren Hoburg '08 @astro.woody and MIT alum Stephen Bowen ENG '93, OCE '93, both members of Crew-6, were there to greet Moghbeli and her crewmates and share the momentous occasion. Before departing, Hoburg presented Moghbeli with her United States Astronaut Badge. More at the link in the bio. Image Credits: NASA
