** Explore Your Project Ideas for Space Station

Have a science or technology idea? Flying experiments on the International Space Station is a unique opportunity to eliminate gravity as a variable, provide exposure to vacuum and radiation, and have a clear view of the Earth and universe. For more information on how you can conduct your research in microgravity, visit www.nasa.gov/stationopportunities

** What Launches to Space on SpaceX’s Next Cargo Mission?

SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft will deliver supplies and critical materials to directly support dozens of the more than 250 science and research investigations that will occur aboard the International Space Station for current and future crews. Learn more about CRS-18: https://go.nasa.gov/2L9ioX7

This week’s episode of NASA’s Space to Ground reports on activities related to the  International Space Station:

** Astronaut Training: Then and Now

Mission training for astronauts reflects the missions themselves: rigorous. In the Apollo era, astronauts and engineers prepared for the unknown as much as possible, but knew how to improvise in unprecedented situations. Currently, we’ve set our sights on going further, and our modern technology has allowed us to train much more safely – all in pursuit of our next giant leap.

** Astronaut Moments: Drew Morgan

Description: Before launching to the International Space Station on the anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s “giant leap for mankind,” astronaut Drew Morgan was making his own giant leaps out of airplanes as part of his training.

** We Go as the Artemis Generation

We Go: To the Moon and on to Mars. Our generation, the Artemis generation, will explore farther than we’ve ever gone before. The Artemis program will send the first woman and next man to walk on the surface of the Moon and build a sustainable base to prepare for missions to Mars and beyond.

Here is the latest episode of NASA’s weekly Space to Ground report on activities related to the International Space Station:

** Kennedy’s Space Station Processing Facility Turns 25

Most International Space Station payloads are delivered to Kennedy Space Center’s Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), which has played an integral role in spaceflight for a quarter century.

** T-60 Seconds with Andrew Morgan

You’ve got to know about a lot of different subjects to graduate from West Point, and then become a doctor, and then become an astronaut (when you have to know some of it in Russian!). But, can you think fast on your feet? NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan has fun with a rapid-fire Q-and-A on non-technical topics as he finishes up preparations to launch to the International Space Station.

** July 19: Live Apollo Anniversary Show

This July, we salute our Apollo heroes and look forward to new frontiers. Watch live and join us online, Friday, July 19 at 1 p.m. EDT for “NASA’s Giant Leaps: Past and Future” featuring Apollo astronauts, current astronauts, guest host Adam Savage and more.

** A high-res demo of water in microgravity: Moving Water in Space – 8K Ultra HD

Water in space behaves… differently. Surface tension and capillary flow can be harnessed to move fluids in more efficient ways. What looks like fun could actually help us improve systems for moving fluids in microgravity, in things like fuel tanks for space travel. Find out more about fluid physics in space in our researcher’s guide: https://go.nasa.gov/2KShhuT Learn more about the research being conducted on Station: https://www.nasa.gov/iss-science

** Happy 4th of July from the Space Station Crew

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 60 Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch of NASA honored America’s 243rd birthday by wishing Americans at home and around the world a happy 4th of July.

** Space Station Research: Intersecting the Magical and the Technical

At any given time, we have about 300 experiments being conducted aboard the International Space Station. Anne McClain shares an inspiring perspective on the research she’s helped conduct. Learn more about the research being conducted on Station: https://www.nasa.gov/iss-science

** NASA astronaut Anne McClain seems more limber and energetic as she emerges from the Soyuz than many others after returning from a long stay on the ISS:

Expedition 59 Flight Engineer Anne McClain of NASA is helped out of the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft just minutes after she, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, landed in Kazakhstan. The trio spent 204 days on the International Space Station, during which they orbited Earth 3,264 times traveling 86,430,555 miles.
