It’s the International Day of Human Space Flight!

In this image, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, Expedition 32 flight engineer, appears to touch the bright Sun during the mission’s third spacewalk outside the International Space Station. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide is visible in the reflection of Williams’ helmet visor.

Today, April 12, is the International Day of Human Space Flight—marking Yuri Gagarin’s first flight in 1961, and the first space shuttle launch in 1981.

As we honor global collaboration in exploration, we’re moving forward to the Moon & Mars under the Artemis Accords.
