Epps will join NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Josh Cassada for a six-month expedition planned for a launch in 2021 to the orbiting space laboratory. The flight will follow NASA certification after a successful uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 and Crew Flight Test with astronauts. The spaceflight will be the first for Epps, who earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in physics in 1992 from LeMoyne College in her hometown of Syracuse, New York. She completed a master\u2019s degree in science in 1994 and a doctorate in aerospace engineering in 2000, both from the University of Maryland, College Park.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vWhdZRXDZ28?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <strong>Earth Views from the International Space Station<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLYgjjg_-fyQwR-XgQ0JAXQ\">AmericaSpace<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The International Space Station\u2019s High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment is an external camera platform located on the Columbus module of the space station.

This required being positioned exactly on the line shown in the map in the video, to within less than 100m accuracy on the ground. This is complicated by the fact that the ISS orbit is inherently unstable in low Earth orbit, which causes the predicted ground path to change by small amounts leading up to the event. Even at the time of the event, the best prediction is associated with a small amount of error, on the order of one ISS diameter (~100m). At the time of this image, my telescope was sitting directly on the GPS coordinates of the predicted centerline of the transit, but you can see the center of the ISS was ever so slightly below the disk of Mars. However, it was close enough, and part of the solar arrays appear to touch the planetary disk in one frame.
