ISS (SPACE STATION)

Ever wonder what it’s like to see our planet from space? NASA’s astronauts will take you on a journey to the International Space Station, exploring the life-changing experience of an orbital perspective. View Earth as you’ve never seen it before: through the eyes of an astronaut.

In the final episode of Season 1 of Down to Earth, former NASA Astronaut Alvin Drew recounts the wonder of viewing planet Earth from space, and the necessity to keep pushing the bounds of exploration. Be sure to catch the premiere of the 30-minute special, Down to Earth: The Astronaut’s Perspective, today at 2p.m. EST at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIkqs9_FK28&feature=youtu.be.

It has been a busy year of research aboard the International Space Station. In November, we celebrated the 20th year of continuous human presence aboard the space station, which so far has hosted 242 people and more than 3,000 science experiments. During the past year, research has ranged from growing radishes in microgravity to capturing 360-degree footage of life aboard station to monitoring our planet. This research benefits people on Earth while helping prepare us to explore farther into space.

The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock was removed from the SpaceX Dragon CRS-21 trunk overnight on Saturday, December 19th 2020, Where it was moved into place and installed on the port hatch of the Tranquility Module. The commercial airlock built by Nanoracks, Thales Alenia Space, and Boeing will be used to deploy small cubesats and commercial payloads from the International Space Station. #Dragon #ISS #Nanoracks

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer from Germany has been assigned his first mission to the International Space Station. He is expected to fly to the Space Station in the autumn of 2021. The mission is called Cosmic Kiss and Maurer will spend six months in orbit, carrying out vital science and operations on behalf of researchers and international partners worldwide.

SpaceX's upgraded Cargo Dragon spacecraft docked directly to the International Space Station docking port for the first time on Dec. 7, 2020. In the spacecrafts previous iterations, the space station's robotic arm was used to capture Dragon and dock it. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/spacex-cargo-dragon-crs-21-docks-at-space-station Credit: NASA

The program starts at 13:11 and the downlink with Glover starts at 33:59. Join us for a live discussion with astronaut Victor Glover, who is currently orbiting 200 miles above us on the International Space Station. Glover will join us live from the ISS to discuss his experiences as astronaut, the importance of the ISS, and so much more! The program will begin at 12:30 pm ET as our educators discuss Glover's historic flight to the ISS and our collaboration with Glover to document his stay on the ISS, and share stories of Glover's astronaut training and career path. Glover will join us live from the ISS at 12:50 pm ET. This program is part of an ongoing partnership with the National Museum of African American History and Culture to celebrate Victor Glover's historic first trip to the ISS. When Glover arrived at the ISS as part of the SpaceX Crew-1 launch, he became the first Black astronaut to live on board the space station as part of a long-term mission.

In recognition of the 20th anniversary of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station, listen as Space Foundation board member Jeanne Meserve sits down with the Expedition 1 crew, William Shepherd (NASA astronaut and Commander of Expedition 1), Sergei Krikalev (Russian cosmonaut and Flight Engineer of Expedition 1), and Yuri Gidzenko (Russian cosmonaut and Soyuz Commander of Expedition 1), as they discuss what it was like to be the first ever crewed expedition to the International Space Station. Also joining the conversation are George Abbey, who was director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center at the time, and Ginger Kerrick, the Russian Training Integration Instructor for Expedition 1.

The first crew of astronauts arrived at the International Space Station 20 years ago, and since then, we have never had a day without someone living and working in space over our heads. Join Geoff Nunn, Adjunct Curator for Space History and NASA Solar System Ambassador for a virtual discussion celebrating one of the most ambitious examples of engineering and international cooperation ever undertaken. This event will highlight ISS related artifacts from the Museum’s collection and even provide a virtual tour inside the Station. Support the Museum's Public Programs!
