New Expedition 73 Crew Photos | International Space Station
Four Expedition 73 flight engineers pose for a playful portrait through a circular opening in a hatch thermal cover aboard the International Space Station. The cover provides micrometeoroid and orbital debris protection while maintaining cleanliness and pressure integrity in the vestibule between Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft and the orbital outpost.
Expedition 73 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Zena Cardman is seen here working on the microgravity associated bone loss (MABL) study. It is examining intracellular signaling pathways to determine what therapeutic countermeasures can protect astronaut bone health on future long duration missions to places like the Moon or Mars.
NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 flight engineer Jonny Kim shows off a variety of food items from South Korea and the U.S. during lunchtime aboard the International Space Station's Unity module.
NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 flight engineer Mike Fincke shows off a portion of a hatch seal during maintenance work on the hatch between the Destiny laboratory module and the Harmony module aboard the International Space Station.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut and Expedition 73 flight engineer Kimiya Yui smiles for a portrait during weekend housecleaning activities inside the International Space Station's Harmony module.
NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 flight engineer Jonny Kim is pictured inside the vestibule between the International Space Station's Unity module and the Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft from Northrop Grumman. Kim was preparing to open Cygnus' hatch to begin unloading about 11,000 pounds of new science and supplies for the Expedition 73 crew.
Four Expedition 73 flight engineers gather together inside the International Space Station's Harmony module and watch NASA's announcement of its 2025 Astronaut Candidate Class from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. From left, are NASA astronauts Jonny Kim, Zena Cardman, and Mike Fincke, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui.
