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. Just as important, we challenged long-standing processes and qualified modern hardware for spaceflight on an expedited timeline. That operational urgency will serve NASA well as we pursue the highest-value science and research in orbit and on the lunar surface. This is a small step in the right direction.

Though I think the Hasselblad shots have been gone a while, but I get what you mean.

Went to space, fired up 2048 to kill some time during flight, missed the entire voyage

Will they have them on EVA? I wonder how they'll hold up in vacuum, with unshielded radiation.

I'm sure they mean only within the vehicle though.

I don't think the Artemis II mission will include any EVAs, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah. But this is an ongoing policy change and a landing is the goal of Artemis III
