Space Station Stories: Charting the Course.

In this chapter of Space Station Stories we learn why the One Year Mission of Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko to the International Space Station is fulfilling the station’s goal to prepare humankind to explore beyond low Earth orbit out into the solar system. Astronaut Reid Wiseman, a veteran of more than five months on the station during Expeditions 40 and 41, takes you on a journey from Earth to our current home on orbit and on to Mars, and explains how today’s mission is setting the stage for tomorrow’s exploration objective.
Space Station Stories takes you inside the technological marvel that is the International Space Station. Humanity’s home in low Earth orbit since 1998, the station continues to be a platform for new discoveries, preparing us for the journeys of tomorrow while benefiting the world of today.
