She and her teammates have participated in hundreds of experiments in biology, earth sciences, human research, physical sciences, and technological development. Some of the scientific accomplishments of his mission include improving the Alpha magnetic spectrometer, which studies dark matter, growing protein crystals for pharmaceutical research, and testing 3D biological printers in microgravity.

He currently serves on a rotational basis as Assistant Director of Technical Integration at the Johnson Space Center. POT.

Artemis II will fly in November 2024 to Moon. In addition to Christina, Jeremy R. Hansen, Victor Glover and Reed Wiseman will fly.

If everything turns out right, then in 2025 it is expected that Artemis III land on the moon so that the first astronauts can explore its surface.
