Artemis II and Space Station Expedition 74 Astronauts Call in Space

The Artemis II crew of NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) Jeremy Hansen spoke with Expedition 74 astronauts, Chris Williams, Jack Hathaway, and Jessica Meir of NASA, and Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) on board the International Space Station. In the first-of-its-kind ship-to-ship call between astronauts on deep space and low Earth orbit missions, the station crew expressed their curiosity about the difference between the two spacecraft, while the Artemis II quartet shared their experience seeing the Moon up close. Koch, who performed a pair of station spacewalks with Meir in January of 2020, remarked, “Every single thing that we learned on ISS is up here." This video has been edited to synchronize the latency between video and audio and shorten gaps in the communications delay that was experienced during the live call as signals traveled more than 232,000 miles. The 15-minute call began at 2:40 p.m. EDT on April 7, 2026. For more on NASA’s Artemis program, visit www.nasa.gov/artemis For more on the International Space Station, visit www.nasa.gov/station
