The International Space Station: Humanity's Great Learning Outpost

 

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits some 250 miles above Earth's atmosphere, and for more than 20 years has continuously been inhabited by astronauts. It's arguably humankind's greatest technical achievement - but what actually happens up there, and why?

Join Dr. Liz Warren from the ISS U.S. National Laboratory to learn about "what's up" on the orbiting laboratory, and how one of the main drivers of the station is to develop programs and opportunities that engage and excite the next generation of researchers and explorers!
