Connecting Earth and Orbit: Astronauts answer student questions from space
In short: Watch how NASA astronauts use live and prerecorded communications to bridge the gap between the International Space Station and students in Oregon, discussing daily life and STEM careers.
The video captures educational events where astronauts share their experiences in low Earth orbit. During an educational session on 19 January 2011, Flight Engineer Cady Coleman and Expedition 26 Commander Scott Kelly spoke to pupils at McMinnville's Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum regarding orbital tasks and scientific tests.
Another session features astronaut Don Pettit answering prerecorded questions regarding science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These interactions highlight the ongoing work aboard the space station, where astronauts have lived and worked for over 24 years to test technologies and perform research that benefits life on Earth.
