Most people wouldn’t leave their phones behind when they so much as go for a drive, but NASA astronauts have had to leave their phones on Earth while they went to work 250 miles away at the International Space Station. That is, until now.

In a , NASA Administrator shared that the Crew-12 and astronauts will be allowed to bring smartphones along for the journey to the ISS and beyond. “We are giving our crews the tools to capture special moments for their families and share inspiring images and video with the world,” Isaacman said.

While these won’t be the captured in space — that distinction belongs to a trio of miniature phone-based satellites sent into Earth orbit in 2013 which succeeded where the earlier British failed. But thanks to the upcoming , we can look forward to the first smartphone images from the moon’s orbit. The March (for now) launch will be the agency’s first crewed moon mission since Apollo 17 in 1972.

The crews’ personal devices will be far less cumbersome to use than the they were previously limited to for high-quality still images. Ideally, this means more spontaneous pictures that can be shared with friends and family back on Earth.
