In short: Watch Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide reflect on four months of orbital research as he prepares for his return to Earth. This educational event highlights the human side of space exploration and the collaborative spirit of the International Space Station.
On November 14, Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency engaged with Japanese university students to summarize the major accomplishments of his four-month mission aboard the International Space Station. The session provided a rare look at the practical work and milestones achieved during his time in orbit.
