NASA news: Space Station astronaut shares incredible pictures

In this particular picture, Mr Ovchinin handed over the keys to the ISS to ESA’s Luca Parmitano who is now officially in charge as ISS Commander.

The astronauts from top-left to bottom-right are Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Skripochka, Nick Hague, Andrew Morgan, Christina Koch, Hazzaa Ali Almansoori, Jessica Meir, Luca Parmitano and Alexey Ovchinin.

Mr Hague’s third photo shows himself enjoying the effects of microgravity with his colleagues.

In the fourth and final picture, the ISS astronauts are similarly floating around in the microgravity environment with no regards to up and down directions.
