What is it like to live and work on the International Space Station?
In short: Three astronauts aboard the orbital laboratory answer questions from California middle schoolers. This educational session provides a firsthand look at the realities of daily life in microgravity and the scientific work conducted by international crews.
On June 6, 2012, students from a school in Livermore, California, participated in a live conversation with Expedition 31 crew members. The panel included NASA flight engineers Don Pettit and Joe Acaba, alongside Andre Kuipers of the European Space Agency.
The discussion focused on the practicalities of the orbital laboratory, offering insights into how astronauts manage their daily routines and research tasks while living in space. This event highlights the ongoing efforts to connect space exploration with classroom learning.
