Two women commanders meet
On October 5, 2022 NASA astronaut Nicole Mann arrived at the ISS as commander of the SpaceX Crew-5 mission while European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti was serving as commander of the ISS. That orbital linkup marked the second time two women commanders met on board the ISS. Cristoforetti had also made history as the first European woman to hold the position of commander of the ISS.
