(NASA) – NASA will host a media teleconference at 12:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, August 7, to discuss ongoing International Space Station operations, including the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test and NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission.
Audio of the briefing will stream live on NASA’s website.
Agency participants include:
■ Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, Space Operations Mission Directorate
■ Steve Stich, manager, Commercial Crew Program
■ Dana Weigel, manager of, International Space Station Program
For more than two decades, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge, demonstrating new technologies, and making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth.
The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit.
As commercial companies focus on providing human space transportation services and destinations as part of a robust low Earth orbit economy, NASA’s Artemis campaign is underway on the Moon, where the agency is preparing for future human exploration of Mars.
