Koch became an astronaut a decade ago and is scheduled to venture around the moon on Artemis Two, which is scheduled to launch in 2025.

On Tuesday, she spoke with A&T students about her career, which includes serving as a flight engineer on the International Space Station.

However, much of her discussion at the university focused on her upcoming mission.
