Moon Crew, ISS Astronauts Speak on First Ship-to-Ship Space Call

NASA’s Artemis II moon mission crew spoke briefly with the astronauts living and working on the International Space Station on Tuesday afternoon, the first call of its kind in the history of spaceflight.

At around 2:40 p.m. New York time, the two crews connected during an audio call and spoke about what it was like for the Artemis crew to launch and then fly around the moon. Christina Koch of the Artemis II crew said the training she got from living on the ISS applied to their current mission.
