In short: Watch how three members of Expedition 22 engaged in a live educational exchange from the International Space Station. This video captures a unique moment of connection between orbital research and terrestrial learning.

On January 6, 2009, Commander Jeff Williams and Flight Engineers T.J. Creamer and Soichi Noguchi hosted an in-flight educational event. They spoke directly with students from the Lac Courte Orielles Ojibwe School and the Winter School in Wisconsin.

This interaction highlights the broader mission of Expedition 22, which included diverse scientific research into human cardiovascular systems, spatial cognition, and aerobic capacity. Beyond human biology, the crew also investigated technical alloys and fluid physics in microgravity.
