Holiday Season in Space Station

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station celebrate the holidays in their special way while working and living in space.

The Expedition 72 crew enjoys the Earth views, connects with loved ones back home, shares a festive meal with fellow crew members, and continues their science experiments and station upkeep.
