Jared Isaacman, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) administrator, writing on X/Twitter:
NASA astronauts will soon fly with the latest smartphones, beginning with Crew-12 and Artemis II. We are giving our crews the tools to capture special moments for their families and share inspiring images and video with the world.
When it comes to photos from the Artemis flights, expect copious selfies from both deep-space and the Lunar surface.
