From International Space Station, we have a unique vantage point to observe lightning storms from directly above them. Much like from the ground, they appear as rapid, intense flashes that are over as quickly as they started. But, with the help of handheld cameras and a bit of practice (and,

Nichole “Vapor” Ayers International Space Station NASA 大西卓哉 （JAXA宇宙飛行士）Takuya Onishi NPR Peggy Whitson M+91: One of the most important loops in our life support system onboard the International Space Station is the water reclamation system, which is part of the environmental control system. Though Houston works hard to remotely control and run the system, sometimes an astronaut is required

They say you live with your choices…well, we certainly are doing just that! Peggy Whitson was on the astronaut selection committee that selected me in 2013, and I was on the selection committee that selected Nichole “Vapor” Ayers in 2021. Now, we all are living and working together aboard

One of the most unforgettable evenings I’ve experienced on this mission was sharing a meal with new friends, Ax-4, aboard the International International Space Station. We swapped stories and marveled at how people from diverse backgrounds and nations came together to represent humanity in

How do we clean in space? Similar to how we clean on Earth, but weightlessness has some extra challenges.

Cities at night: Orlando, San Juan, Miami

We have to be our own plumbers, electricians, contractors, dentists, phlebotomists, and even ultrasound techs up here! 大西卓哉 （JAXA宇宙飛行士）Takuya Onishi and I recently did a routine venous thromboembolism (VTE) scan of the jugular vein. While in microgravity aboard the International Space Station, our blood

Floating while you work beats any office chair!

We don’t get in our flight suits often, but chance had us all decked out so we took advantage and took some photos with our new crewmates. In this picture we have eight astronauts representing the United States, Japan, India, Hungary and Poland. It’s been a pleasure getting to

How do we take group photos in space? We cannot ask a passerby for help, so we set up a camera to take a photo every 5 seconds, get in position, then stop to smile at the camera. Looks a little chaotic, but it works!

We said goodbye to our #Ax4 friends today. I was just reminiscing on the haircuts from last weekend! After a long quarantine, I think it was nice for them. 😊 We joked about how I might have a future in the haircutting business when I get back on Earth, but the reviews are still

Lightning the size of cities! The size of the storm is put in perspective when compared with the coastal cities of Norfolk, Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Savannah, as well as the more inland cities of Greensboro, Raleigh, and Charlotte. Photo taken on July 3rd,

Did you know that one of NASA’s missions is to enable commercial spaceflight in low Earth orbit? One of the really cool ways we get to do that on International Space Station is to host Private Astronaut Missions, or PAMs. This week, we bid farewell to the Ax-4 crew after their two week stay

Hello Milan! If you guys haven’t seen the lightning sequence COL Anne McClain posted a couple weeks ago, you should go check it out! Shots like these take quite a bit of planning and timing. This video is a sequence of still pictures taken at 120 frames per second. We have such a

We do a lot of media events from space, and this is what it looks like behind the scenes: us alone, or with a crewmate, in a big module talking to a camera. There are normally no visuals with the interviewer, and we are giving answers to a camera while looking at a small screen

As I went to close the cupola shutters Tuesday night, the robotic arm backlit by an aurora caught my eye! Our robotics team on the ground was busy at work while we headed to bed.

Hard to believe we are a week from our scheduled return, but we are! Crew-10 is scheduled to undock NET 1800 GMT on 6 August, splashing down 6.5 hours later off the coast of California. We are busy in preparations for Crew-11 arrival and our departure. Yesterday we checked out

As we get close to leaving International Space Station, I find myself wanting to savor every moment and every view. None of us are guaranteed to get to do this again, and every minute spent in space is a special one. I dropped into the Cupola to look out the window and just be in the moment,
