NASA astronaut Stephanie Wilson in the Blue Flight Control Room at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA.
Stephanie Wilson is one of NASA’s most senior astronauts and member of the Artemis Team – a select group to prepare for, and possibly fly on, the next crewed Moon missions. As such, she could become the first woman to step foot on the lunar surface.
A veteran of three Space Shuttle missions to the International Space Station, she has logged more than 42 days in space. Stephanie has a great curiosity for the unknown and is attracted to problem-solving.
