US astronaut Christina Koch, the first woman to take part in a lunar mission, was named the winner of a top Spanish prize on Wednesday for having "helped extend the frontiers of humanity."
The jury of the Princess of Asturias Award for Concord said Koch's career was an inspiration for future generations, particularly women.
It reflects "humanity's ability to overcome challenges and adversity through hard work, collaboration and empathy."
