After setting the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman with 328 days and participating in the first all-female spacewalk in 2019-2020, Koch is currently preparing to go to space once again as the Mission Specialist for NASA’s Artemis II mission, which will be be flying around the Moon as NASA’s first crewed flight in their long-term goal for establishing human presence on the Moon for science and exploration.
