Space Call: NASA Artemis II & International Space Station Expedition 74 Astronauts

Space Call: NASA Artemis II & International Space Station Expedition 74 Astronauts

The Artemis II crew of NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen spoke with Expedition 74 astronauts, Chris Williams, Jack Hathaway, and Jessica Meir of NASA, and Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency on board the International Space Station. 

In the first-of-its-kind ship-to-ship call between astronauts on deep space and low Earth orbit missions, the station crew shared their interests in both spacecraft, while the Artemis II quartet related their experience seeing the Moon up close. Koch performed a pair of station spacewalks with Meir in January of 2020. She remarked, “Every single thing that we learned on ISS is up here."

This video has been edited to synchronize the latency between video and audio and shorten gaps in the communications delay that was experienced during the live call as signals traveled more than 232,000 miles. The 15-minute call began at 2:40 p.m. EDT on April 7, 2026.
