NASA will host a media teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday, May 30, to
discuss the next science investigations, technology demonstrations, crew
supplies, and hardware bound for the International Space Station aboard
SpaceX’s 28th commercial resupply services mission for the agency.
Audio of the media call will stream live at:
*https://www.nasa.gov/live* [1]
NASA and SpaceX are targeting launch no earlier than 12:35 p.m. EDT Saturday,
June 3. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, carried on the company’s Falcon 9
rocket, will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space
Center in Florida.
The mission will carry scientific research [2], crew supplies, and hardware
to the space station to support its Expedition 69 crew, including the next
pair of IROSAs [3] (International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays). Once
installed, the solar panels will expand the energy-production capabilities of
the space station.
To participate in the teleconference, media must RSVP by 12 p.m. to Lora
social media using #AskNASA.
Kirt Costello, chief scientist for the International Space Station Program at
NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, will provide an overview of the
research and technology launching aboard the Dragon spacecraft.
Other teleconference participants include:
* Scott Copeland, director for research integration on the space station at
Boeing and co-founder for Genes in Space, and Dr. Ally Huang, student
mentor and lead research scientist at miniPCR, will represent the Genes in
Space-10 [5] investigation
* Dr. Olivier Chanrion, senior scientist in the Department of Astrophysics
and Atmospheric Physics at Denmark Technical University, and principal
investigator for Thor-Davis [6]
* Tony Pellerin, manager of space science and technology at CSA (Canadian
Space Agency), will speak on ESSENCE [7] and Iris [8], two of the CubeSats
sponsored by the International Space Station National Laboratory, and
developed by students
* Dr. Anna-Lisa Paul, research professor at the University of Florida,
Gainesville, and principal investigator for the Plant Habitat-03 [9]
investigation
Cargo resupply from U.S. companies ensures a national capability to deliver
critical hardware and science research to the space station, significantly
increasing the ability of NASA to conduct new investigations at the orbital
outpost. Other U.S. government agencies, private industry, and academic and
research institutions also can conduct microgravity research through NASA’s
partnership with the International Space Station National Laboratory.
Now in its third decade of operations, the space station continues to advance
scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences for
the benefit of people living on our home planet. The station also is the
world’s leading laboratory where researchers conduct cutting-edge
research and technology development that will enable human and robotic
exploration of destinations beyond low Earth orbit, including the Moon and
Mars.?  ?
