NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 will answer media questions at 2:40 p.m. EDT
Wednesday, Aug. 23, about their mission aboard International Space Station
prior to returning to Earth.
NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, UAE (United Arab Emirates)
astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will
participate in the news conference from the space station. The event will air
on NASA Television, the NASA app [1], and the agency’s website [2].
Media interested in participating must contact the NASA Johnson Space Center
newsroom no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 22 at 281-483-5111 or
news conference no later than 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 23. Questions also may be
submitted on social media using #AskNASA.
The crew has been living and working aboard the station since docking on
March 3, 2023. During the mission [4], the crew contributed to hundreds of
experiments and technology demonstrations, including student robotic
challenges, plant genetics, and human health in microgravity to prepare for
exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth.
The crew’s SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, named Endeavour, will undock from the
space station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 1, splashing down off the coast
of Florida.
Crew-6 is the sixth crew rotation mission with SpaceX for the agency’s
Commercial Crew Program. Regular commercial crew rotation missions enable
NASA to continue the important research and technology investigations taking
place aboard the station. 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.
Crew members Hoburg [5] and Alneyadi [6] may be followed on X. Learn more
about their scientific journey and download images and video on NASA’s
website.
