TEXAS STUDENTS TO SPEAK LIVE WITH SPACE STATION NASA ASTRONAUT

HOUSTON -- NASA Expedition 35 astronaut and flight engineer Chris Cassidy aboard the International Space Station will conduct a live air-to-ground talk with students of Fredricksburg High School in Texas at 12:40 p m EDT (11:40 a m CDT) Thursday, May 2 The event will be carried live on NASA Television and the agency's website

During the 20-minute event, students will be able to ask Cassidy questions about life, work and research aboard the orbiting laboratory He began his stay on the station in March

News media representatives are invited to attend the event, and can do so by contacting Brett Williams at brettw@fisd org or 830-889-9588 Fredericksburg High School is located at 1107 S State Highway 16 in Fredricksburg

NASA activities have been incorporated into classes at the school in preparation for the conversation Linking students directly to astronauts aboard the space station provides them with an authentic, live experience of space exploration, space study, and the scientific components of space travel and possibilities of life in space

This in-flight education downlink is one in a series with educational organizations in the United States and abroad to improve science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teaching and learning It is an integral component of NASA's Teaching From Space education program, which promotes learning opportunities and builds partnerships with the education community using the unique environment of space and NASA's human spaceflight program

NASA, NSBRI SELECT 23 PROPOSALS TO SUPPORT CREW HEALTH ON MISSIONS

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) of Houston will fund 23 proposals to help investigate questions about astronaut health and performance on future deep space exploration missions

The selected proposals are from 18 institutions in 14 states and will receive about $17 million during a one- to three-year period

HRP and NSBRI research provides knowledge and technologies to improve human health and performance during space exploration and develops possible countermeasures for problems experienced during space travel The organizations' goals are to help astronauts complete their challenging missions successfully and preserve astronauts' health throughout their lives

The 23 projects were selected from 100 proposals received in response to the research announcement "Research and Technology Development to Support Crew Health and Performance in Space Exploration Missions " Scientific and technical experts from academia and government reviewed the proposals NASA will manage 14 of the projects NSBRI will manage nine

HRP quantifies crew health and performance risks during spaceflight and develops strategies that mission planners and system developers can use to monitor and mitigate the risks These studies often lead to advancements in understanding and treating illnesses in patients on Earth

NSBRI is a NASA-funded consortium of institutions studying health risks related to long-duration spaceflight The institute's science, technology and education projects take place at more than 60 institutions across the United States
