In December I spent some time NASA's Johnson Space Center getting familiarized with surface spacesuits like those we will use when we return to the #Moon with NASA Artemis missions. Happy New Year all!

Last week at NASA's Johnson Space Center I participated in part 1 of a 2 part glovebox test assessing different spacesuit pressures and how they might affect our dexterity and ability to accomplish tasks on the Moon for future NASA Artemis missions. This was a blind test, so I didn’t know if


Congratulations to our newest class of MBR Space Centre & NASA Astronauts - Class XXIII, The Flies! Today we celebrate the successful completion of their astronaut candidate training period. Here their gaze is set on #Apollo astronaut #jackschmitt - their footsteps may be the



A glance of a recent test at the NASA's Johnson Space Center #neutralbuoyancylab evaluating lunar spacesuits for future NASA Artemis missions. Randy Bresnik and I practice pushing our tool cart, taking geologic samples, and conducting experiments on a simulated Moon surface - just another day




Four years ago yesterday the Soyuz capsule carrying ЦПК им. Ю.А.Гагарина OlegSkripochka, Astronaut Andrew “Drew” Morgan and me touched down back on our home planet. Reflecting now on our incredible mission, and how much my life has changed since then. Squeezed inside our capsule like a baby in the womb, I

It was our pleasure Mick Jagger, thank you for being such engaging, kind and incredible guests! We hope to see you again at NASA's Johnson Space Center! You’re certainly welcome to hang with NASA Astronauts anytime!

History made today with the first ALL JESSICA flight in a NASA #t38! Thanks Jessica Wittner for a smooth ride! Great day exercising our formation flying skills with Jack Hathaway and Woody Hoburg!


This week we sampled various foods from our NASA's Johnson Space Center food lab. I must report that we don’t actually have any freeze dried “astronaut ice cream”, but we do have a huge variety of tasty options. Some of my favorites: Turkish fish stew, Indian fish curry, honey ginger fish,

We NASA Astronauts vote, whether we’re on the ground or in space on the International Space Station! Get out and vote - let your voice be heard!

We have a few different uniforms as NASA Astronauts, but the spacesuit that we use for spacewalks on the International Space Station is of course a fan favorite! Great day of teamwork training suit-up and spacewalk prep activities with Zena Cardman and Chris Williams last week at NASA's Johnson Space Center!

Moonwalkin’ into Monday! Some footage from a recent evaluation I participated in here at NASA's Johnson Space Center in the NASA government reference model lunar spacesuit. Here I’m attached to a special system called ARGOS which offloads my suit and gives me that 1/6 gravity lunar sensation

Launching into the new year in style at NASA's Johnson Space Center! Thanks to a stellar team of suit engineers and technicians, today we assessed my fit in different sizes of the #spacesuit we use on the International Space Station. Always good to maximize your options.
