This week’s selection of videos about space stations and living in space including NASA’s latest Space to Ground report for the International Space Station:
** In Space Production Applications (InSPA) – NASA Johnson
Ensuring U.S. leadership of in-space manufacturing in low Earth orbit by enabling the use of the ISS National Laboratory to demonstrate the production of advanced materials and products for terrestrial markets.

**ESA Astronaut Mogensen Talks with European Space Agency Leaders, Space Summit 2023 – Nov. 6, 2023 – European Space Agency, ESA
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 70 Commander Andy Mogensen of ESA (European Space Agency) discussed living and working in space with ESA Summit Meeting attendees during an in-flight interview Nov. 6. Mogensen is in the midst of a long-duration mission on the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions.
** Space Station Crew Answers Brighton, Tennessee Student Questions – Nov. 8, 2023 – NASA Video
Aboard the International Space Station, NASA Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and Space Station Commander Andy Mogensen discussed living and working in space during an in-flight event Nov. 9 with students attending Brighton Elementary School in Brighton, Tennessee. Moghbeli and Mogensen are in the midst of a science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.
** Experiment Samples from Chinese Space Station Delivered to Scientists – CCTV Video News Agency
A batch of scientific experimental samples from China’s Tiangong space station were handed over to scientists on Tuesday for subsequent research and studies following the return of the Shenzhou-16 crew to Earth.

** Live Video from the International Space Station (Official NASA Stream) – NASA
Watch live video from the International Space Station, including inside views when the crew aboard the space station is on duty. Views of Earth are also streamed from an external camera located outside of the space station. During periods of signal loss due to handover between communications satellites, a blue screen is displayed.
The space station orbits Earth about 250 miles (425 kilometers) above the surface. An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the station, and it has been continuously occupied since November 2000. It’s a microgravity laboratory where science, research, and human innovation make way for new technologies and research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3CkVtC8
Did you know you can spot the station without a telescope? It looks like a fast-moving star, but you have to know when to look up. Sign up for text messages or email alerts to let you know when (and where) to spot the station and wave to the crew: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov
