Students from North Carolina and Rhode Island will have separate
opportunities next week to hear from astronauts aboard the International
Space Station.
The two space-to-Earth calls will air live Wednesday, Sept. 13, and Thursday,
Sept. 14, on NASA Television, the NASA app [1], and the agency’s website
[2].
At 10:10 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 13, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and ESA
(European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen will answer pre-recorded
questions from students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
The event, hosted by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, aims to inspire
underrepresented and non-traditional students to pursue science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics pathways.
Media interested in covering the North Caroline event must RSVP no later than
5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, to Andy Jenks at 919-967-8211 or
At 10:25 a.m. Sept. 14, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli and Rubio will answer
pre-recorded questions from students in Rhode Island. The event, hosted by
the Rhode Island Science Teachers Association, is part of a statewide
Astronaut Exploration Lollapalooza aimed at connecting students with space
research.
Media interested in covering the event must RSVP no later than 5 p.m. Sept.
For more than 22 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard
the space station, 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 [5]) Near Space Network.
Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the
International Space Station benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork
for future exploration. As part of Artemis [6], 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.
