As part of NASA's ongoing Inspiration Tour, NASA astronaut Christina Koch will highlight America's strengths in space exploration and aeronautics innovation at the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game in Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 4.
A self-proclaimed Philadelphia sports fan, Koch is an explorer and engineer who spent a total of 338 days in space across two missions, including serving as a mission specialist for the agency's Artemis II mission earlier this year. On April 1, Koch launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard the Orion spacecraft on top of the agency's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket as part of Artemis II. Koch and her fellow crew members completed a historic lunar flyby, marking humanity's return to the vicinity of the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.
