Space to Ground: Wrapping Up: March 10, 2023

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station.

What is said in the film

Welcome to space to ground, I’m shaneequa vereen, and there’s an old saying that the month of march comes in like a lion. However, this march is coming in with dragons instead. After the successful launch and docking of crew dragon endeavour last week, the crew-6 members of expedition 68 have been getting up to speed with life aboard the space station. Meanwhile, the members of crew-5 were preparing to return to earth. "you're seeing this influx of commerical partners in low earth orbit, of astronauts flying to low earth orbit that are other than government astronauts.

You're seeing additional international partners joining our expeditions in space and it's just incredible to see all of us coming together as a human species. As we look forward to orion and artemis, this is the beginning of a very exciting time and it's really a privileged just to be a small part of it. " dragon endurance will undock from the space station, bringing home nasa’s crew-5 including nasa astronauts nicole mann and josh cassada, as well as koichi wakata of jaxa, and roscosmos cosmonaut anna kikina. Endurance will splash down off the coast of florida, bringing a close to a mission that launched last october. Follow us @ space_station on twitter for all of the latest news about the flight home.

During their mission aboard the orbiting laboratory, the crew-6 astronauts will receive multiple visiting vehicles. The first, a dragon resupply vehicle bringing up cutting-edge research. Nasa’s 27th spacex commercial resupply services mission is scheduled to launch from florida next week. The scientific experiments and technology demonstrations carried by the cargo dragon spacecraft will examine how the heart changes in space, test a student-designed camera mount, compare surfaces that control biofilm formation, and much more.
