INDIANA STUDENTS WILL TALK LIVE WITH SPACE STATION COMMANDER
WASHINGTON -- Students at the Westchester Intermediate School in
Chesterton, Ind., will speak with Expedition 30 Commander Dan Burbank
aboard the International Space Station at approximately 11:35 a.m.
EST on Friday, Dec. 9. Media representatives are invited to attend.
The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television.
Fifth- and sixth-grade students will ask Burbank questions about
living and working in space aboard the orbiting laboratory. The
students will take part in a series of activities leading up to the
event focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM).
To attend the event, reporters must call Bridget Martinson at
219-983-3600 or e-mail bridget.martinson@duneland.k12.in.us The
school is located at 1050 S. 5th Street.
Burbank and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin
arrived at the station Nov. 15. They are scheduled to live and work
there until March, while performing dozens of experiments and
preparing for the arrival of new commercial resupply spacecraft. They
will be joined by three crewmates in late December.
