NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station will speak to students
from St. Mark’s Episcopal School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
The Earth-to-space call will air live at 10:10 a.m. EDT Thursday, May 25, on
NASA Television, the NASA app [1], and the agency’s website [2].
NASA astronauts Steve Bowen, Woody Hoburg, and Frank Rubio will answer
prerecorded questions from pre-K and second through eighth grade
students. The downlink is part of the school’s “Space Week” where
students will participate in challenges related to space exploration. Through
the downlink, students can look to NASA astronauts as an example of how to
best be stewards of our planet and beyond. The school’s “Space Week”
activity lesson plans will be shared with other community schools through the
Cox Science Center and Aquarium website.
Media interested in covering the event should respond no later than 5 p.m. on
313-283-1427.
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 [4]) Near Space Network.
Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the
International Space Station benefit people on Earth and lays 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.
