NASA, astronauts invite National Geographic aboard space station for live event [shared from Weave for Windows Phone]
The International Space Station is a unique orbital laboratory where astronauts live and work to expand the frontiers of research. For two hours tonight, NASA and the National Geographic Channel will provide viewers with a live look behind the scenes, both aboard the orbiting complex and with the ground team at Mission Control that watches over the crew and station systems 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
As their orbital home soars 260 miles (420 kilometers) above Earth, astronauts Rick Mastracchio of NASA and Koichi Wakata, the first Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency station commander, will give the National Geographic Channel viewers a guided tour of the space station, which has more livable room than a conventional six-bedroom house. The two astronauts, who arrived at the space station back on November 7 along with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin, are scheduled to remain aboard the station as the crew of Expedition 39 until mid-May. Three more crew members, including NASA astronaut Steve Swanson, are slated to launch to the station March 25 to round out the crew.
Wakata became the first Japanese commander of the station when his Expedition 38 crewmates – Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight Engineers Mike Hopkins and Sergey Ryazanskiy – departed Monday.
