Pennsylvania Students to Hear from NASA Astronaut Aboard Space Station

Students from North Allegheny School District in McCandless, Pennsylvania, will have an opportunity this week to hear from a NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station.

The Earth-to-space call will air live at 12 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, April 25, on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg, who attended North Allegheny schools, will answer prerecorded questions from students. The event will include remarks and a tour of student-built rockets by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Media interested in covering the event should contact Brandi Smith at: bsmith1@northallegheny.org or 412-682-9347 no later than 5 p.m., Monday, April 24.

For more than 22 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts living in space aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Near Space Network. Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the International Space Station benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future exploration. As part of Artemis, NASA will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.

I vowed from that day on to get his hands on as many tech products as possible. My approach to a review is to make it informative for the technofile while still making it understandable to everyone.
