Launching into the new year in style at @NASA_Johnson! Thanks to a stellar team of suit engineers and technicians, today we assessed my fit in different sizes of the #spacesuit we use on the @Space_Station. Always good to maximize your options.

Moonwalkin’ into Monday! Some footage from a recent evaluation I participated in here at @NASA_Johnson in the @NASA government reference model lunar spacesuit. Here I’m attached to a special system called ARGOS which offloads my suit and gives me that 1/6 gravity lunar sensation

We have a few different uniforms as @NASA_Astronauts, but the spacesuit that we use for spacewalks on the @Space_Station is of course a fan favorite! Great day of teamwork training suit-up and spacewalk prep activities with @zenanaut and @Astro_ChrisW last week at @NASA_Johnson!

This week we sampled various foods from our @NASA_Johnson food lab. I must report that we don’t actually have any freeze dried “astronaut ice cream”, but we do have a huge variety of tasty options. Some of my favorites: Turkish fish stew, Indian fish curry, honey ginger fish,

Four years ago yesterday the Soyuz capsule carrying @gctc_ru OlegSkripochka, @AstroDrewMorgan and me touched down back on our home planet. Reflecting now on our incredible mission, and how much my life has changed since then. Squeezed inside our capsule like a baby in the womb, I

A glance of a recent test at the @NASA_Johnson #neutralbuoyancylab evaluating lunar spacesuits for future @NASAArtemis missions. @AstroKomrade and I practice pushing our tool cart, taking geologic samples, and conducting experiments on a simulated Moon surface - just another day

Turns out those Colorado Rockies look just as good from the ground as they did from the sky - incredible high altitude training from both sides! Capped off #HAATS helicopter training with a weekend in the backcountry skiing with family and friends. Mission accomplished!

Last week at @NASA_Johnson I participated in part 1 of a 2 part glovebox test assessing different spacesuit pressures and how they might affect our dexterity and ability to accomplish tasks on the Moon for future @NASAArtemis missions. This was a blind test, so I didn’t know if

In December I spent some time @NASA_Johnson getting familiarized with surface spacesuits like those we will use when we return to the #Moon with @NASAArtemis missions. Happy New Year all!
