Preview of ISS Webcast
NASA Quest and Johnson Space Center's Distance Learning Outpost Presents:
A Virtual Tour of the International Space Station
Johnson Space Center is the center for manned spaceflight
and headquarters for the International Space Station Program. As home of
America's astronauts, JSC is responsible for training the astronauts and
flight control teams that support manned missions.
Join us at the Johnson Space Center for almost monthly
live tours of the International Space Station mockup and training facility.
You will be taken inside the Living Quarters where Astronauts will spend
their work, play, rest and recreation time aboard the ISS. Besides being
the most advanced laboratory for research and science, the International
Space Station will be a launching point to destinations across the solar
system. To learn more about the Mockup and Training Facility for NASA's
ISS Astronaut Program visit their Website
The pictures below will preview what you can expect to see
covered. Please remember that your questions "shape" the webcast,
so content may vary:
|
Our Hostess, Erika Guillory, gives a great description
of microgravity and then explains how the shuttle stays on orbit
using props.
|
The webcast takes place in the building that houses
many simulators. Here Erika cues to the live camera covering a shuttle
simulator.
|
The Neutral Buoyancy Lab is at JSC and we are treated
to live coverage of an astronaut in this giant swimming pool training
for space walks.
|
|
Erika describes eating in space showing "real"
food packets
|
Taking advantage of available footage we see what
a glass of water set loose in microgravity looks like,
|
and we watch some entertaining footage of astronauts
"playing with their food" on orbit.
|
|
There are answers to your burning questions about
life on orbit...
|
We are able capture live coverage from the International
Space Station,
|
and animations can help to describe how the assembly
of the station takes place.
|
We think you'll have to agree that this is a unique and
exciting program. Join us!
