What life on the International Space Station actually feels like
In short: Experience the reality of orbital life through the eyes of those who live it. This video captures a rare educational exchange where astronauts describe the daily mechanics and unique atmosphere of the International Space Station.
On February 5, astronauts from NASA and the European Space Agency joined engineering students at the University of California, Davis, for a live educational event. The discussion featured Expedition 42 Commander Barry Wilmore, Flight Engineer Terry Virts, and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti.
Guided by Dr. Stephen Robinson, a Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the session provided students with a first-hand account of life aboard the orbital laboratory. It serves as a bridge between theoretical engineering and the practical realities of human spaceflight.
