Halloween on the International Space Station<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Although no ghouls or goblins or trick-or-treaters come knocking at the International Space Station\u2019s front hatch, crew members aboard the orbiting facility still like to get in the Halloween spirit. Whether individually or as an entire crew, they dress up in sometimes spooky, sometimes scary, but always creative costumes, often designed from materials available aboard the space station. Please enjoy the following scenes from Halloweens past even as we anticipate the costumes of the future.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, Crew-3 NASA astronauts Raja J. Chari, Thomas H. Marshburn, Kayla S. Barron, and Matthias J. Maurer of the European Space Agency (ESA), had some undisclosed plans for when they reached the space station just before Halloween. However, bad weather at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida thwarted those super-secret spooky Halloween plans, delaying their launch until Nov. 11. Undeterred, Expedition 66 crewmembers who awaited them aboard the station held their own Halloween shenanigans. ESA astronaut Thomas G. Pesquet posted on social media that \u201cStrange things were happening on ISS for Halloween. Aki rising from the dead (or is it from our observation window?),\u201d referring to fellow crew member Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.<\/p>\n
