NASA Astronauts to Answer Questions from Florida Students

What happened

NASA Astronauts to Answer Questions from Florida Students, NASA News Releases announced. Students in Florida will hear from NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney as they answer prerecorded STEM questions while aboard the International Space Station. This event is hosted by Sally Ride Elementary School in Orlando, Florida, for students in grades K-12, and the community. NASA is a space exploration and public company founded in 1958.

This unique opportunity aims to deepen understanding of space exploration and enhance awareness of STEM careers. Media interested in covering the event must RSVP no later than 5 p.m.

For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit (the band of space closest to Earth, where most satellites fly), and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and to Mars.
