When NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley werelaunchedtoward the ISS on Saturday, they weren’t alone.
Joining them on the SpaceX mission was a stuffed toy named Tremor.
Now, he can be seen floating around during videos provided by the crew.

So how did this dinosaur hitch a ride on the historic space launch?
Tremor actually serves an important role for the astronauts, as he’s their zero-gravity indicator.
And, he’s actually not the first stuffed animal to do the job.
Tremor quickly started making appearances on video as Behnken and Hurley went about their duties.
And now, the sparkly Apatosaurus takes its place next to other well-known zero-g indicators.
This includes Earthy who gained fame in 2019 when it traveled on SpaceX’s unnamed flight to the ISS.

Another dinosaur has also visited the ISS.
Interestingly, Nyberg is the wife of Doug Hurley and their son was also involved with Tremor’s selection.
We both have two boys who are super interested in dinosaurs,sharesBehnken.
Hello adorable plush dino (?)
