NASA is set to host a public event featuring members of the SpaceX Crew-11 mission on Monday, June 1, at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. The session will highlight the experiences of astronauts Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, and Kimiya Yui, who recently concluded a 167-day residency aboard the International Space Station as part of Expedition 73/74.

The Crew-11 mission, which launched from Kennedy Space Center in August 2025, saw the team travel approximately 71 million miles and complete over 2,670 orbits of the Earth. During their time in orbit, the crew—which also included Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov—conducted extensive scientific research and technology demonstrations aimed at supporting future human exploration of the Moon and Mars. The mission also marked a significant milestone, as the crew participated in the 25th anniversary of continuous human presence on the orbital laboratory.

For veteran astronaut Mike Fincke, the mission represented his fourth spaceflight, bringing his total time in space to 549 days. The event at the Mary W. Jackson building serves as part of the agency’s ‘Frontiers Forum’ series, which focuses on the future of space exploration, commercial partnerships, and the development of breakthrough technologies. The discussion will offer a rare look into the daily operations and scientific achievements of the crew, who safely returned to Earth in January 2026.
