📱 NASA Astronauts To Take Smartphones To Space
NASA will allow astronauts to bring their personal smartphones on upcoming missions for the first time. This new policy starts with the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, which is scheduled to launch next week.
The change also applies to the Artemis II mission, which will carry humans around the moon for the first time since the 1960s.
"We are giving our crews the tools to capture special moments for their families and share inspiring images and video with the world," says NASA administrator Jared Isaacman.
