Bridging the Gap Between Earthly Classrooms and Orbiting Laboratories
In short: Watch how students from Colorado are engaging directly with astronauts aboard the International Space Station to bridge the gap between classroom theory and orbital reality.
This initiative connects students from the Denver School of Science and Technology with astronauts Nick Hague and Suni Williams. The students, who are currently building CubeSat emulators for high-altitude balloon launches, submitted prerecorded questions that will be answered from space on November 14.
The broader context involves NASA's 'Destination Station' exhibit and the ongoing work of the International Space Station, where astronauts have lived and worked continuously for more than 24 years. This research serves as a foundation for the Artemis campaign, aiming to prepare for human exploration of the Moon and eventually Mars.
