Forget caps and gowns. They’re getting spacesuits. 👩🚀
We welcomed 13 new astronauts today! The new astronauts successfully completed more than two years of required basic training and are the first to graduate under the Artemis program.
From left are, NASA astronaut Jonny Kim (jonnyykim), CanadianSpaceAgency (CSA) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins (astro_watkins), CSA astronaut Jennifer Sidey-Gibbon (astro_jenni), NASA astronauts Kayla Barron (astro_kayla), Jasmin Moghbeli (astrojaws), Loral O'Hara, Zena Cardman (zenanaut), Raja Chari, Matthew Dominick (matthew.dominick), Bob Hines (astro_farmerbob) and Warren Hoburg (whoburg).
They are now eligible for assignments to the International Space Station (ISS), Artemis missions to the Moon, and ultimately, missions to Mars.
