NASA Astronaut Christina Koch at Eagles vs. Rams

NASA astronaut Christina Koch is set to meet NFL fans at the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday, Oct. 4. As part of NASA's Inspiration Tour, Koch will celebrate America's achievements in space exploration and aeronautics innovation. Koch, a self-proclaimed Philadelphia sports fan, has spent a total of 338 days in space across two missions, including her role as a mission specialist for Artemis II.

She launched from Kennedy Space Center aboard the Orion spacecraft atop the SLS rocket on April 1, marking a historic lunar flyby and returning humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time in over 50 years. NASA team members will interact with fans at the Experience Zone outside the stadium from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. prior to the game, offering insights into Artemis program, interactive games, and photo opportunities.

The Inspiration Tour, which visits various locations across the country, connects NASA with stakeholders driving American leadership in space. The tour will conclude with MAX POWER, a public event showcasing American air and space innovation, on Nov. 7-8 at Kennedy Space Center.
