Moon Dreaming | International Space Station
The International Space Station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm dominates the foreground, with the waxing gibbous Moon seen more than 240,000 miles away from Earth. The Artemis II mission was in its first day in space, en route to a lunar flyby several days later.
Expedition 75 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Anil Menon: "Full Moon today. The International Space Station feels so close. And, that’s why it’s a step toward NASA's Artemis program . . . "
