NC State’s Own Astronaut Returns | Wilmington News
Description
NC State is throwing a star-studded welcome home party for astronaut Christina Hammock Koch, a triple alum who just returned from the historic Artemis II mission—the first human lunar flyby in 50 years. Celebrating at The Oval on Centennial Campus on August 24th from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, the event will be followed by a media Q&A at the James B. Hunt Library from noon to 1 PM. Koch, with degrees in physics and electrical engineering from NC State, holds the record for longest spaceflight by a woman (328 days on the ISS) and was part of NASA’s landmark all-female spacewalk. This milestone mission marks another giant leap for humanity—and for her alma mater.
