Students from southern New Mexico schools will have an opportunity to hear
from NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
The Earth-to-space call will air live at 11:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday, May 30, on
NASA Television, the NASA app [1], and the agency’s website [2].
NASA astronauts Steve Bowen and Frank Rubio will answer prerecorded questions
from students through a collaboration with the New Mexico Museum of Space
History. The museum is dedicated to telling the story of space exploration
and has engaged several school districts in southern New Mexico to
participate in the downlink. The museum’s educators traveled to each
district and presented information about the space station and its Expedition
69 crew, then worked with the students to develop the questions posed to the
astronauts.
Media interested in covering the event should respond no later than 5 p.m. on
x.41153.
For more than 22 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard
the space station [3], testing technologies, performing science, and
developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts living
in space aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission
Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Communications and
Navigation (SCaN [4]) Near Space Network.
Important research and technology investigations aboard the International
Space Station benefit people on Earth and set the groundwork for future
exploration. As part of Artemis [5], NASA will send astronauts to the Moon
to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next
generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will
continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.
