At any given time, there are about 300 experiments happening on the International Space Station! You can follow all the #science happening aboard our orbiting laboratory at ISS_Research.

A great visit at the Capitol today from our local students of John Muir Middle School! #corcoran #centralvalley #SD14

Did you know astronauts rely on solar energy to power the electronics needed for research & survival on the International Space Station? In this STEMonstration, watch Ricky Arnold explain how the station’s solar arrays produce the electricity astronauts need while orbiting 250 miles above 🌎.

I had the opportunity to introduce some brilliant young students from John Muir Middle School who were selected to send experiments up into Space with NASA through the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) at the State Capitol. #ValleyStrong #AD32 #FutureLeaders

Spacewalkers Christina Koch (Christina H Koch) and Nick Hague (Nick Hague) are setting up their work site with the South Atlantic Ocean passing 262 miles below. #AskNASA | nasa.gov/live

Spacewalker Nick Hague works on the JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) HTV-7 pallet retrieving hardware for today's power systems upgrade work. #AskNASA | nasa.gov/live

What do astronauts do for fun in their spare time? Christina H Koch shares how the crew of Expedition 59 enjoys looking out the windows, catching up with their loved ones back home, and just enjoying each other's company engaging in group dinners and game nights.

For a country without much involvement in space research, educational outreach is critical for getting more students interested in careers in the space industry. This has become a mission for Lucas Fonseca, a Brazilian space engineer. Learn more: bit.ly/2I5dqZh

Good morning from Kennedy Space Center where the Falcon Heavy stands on pad A awaiting its next launch attempt. Spaceflight Now will have full coverage: spaceflightnow.com/2019/04/10/liv…

.NASA is looking for inspiring artwork to hang in the hallways where future crews will stay before launch. Submission Deadline for Artists Inspire Astronauts Contest is April 30, 2019. Want to know how to enter? Visit: challenge.gov/a/buzz/challen…

.NASA has requested SpaceX move off from May 1 to no earlier than May 3 for the launch of its #Dragon cargo mission to the station. go.nasa.gov/2vs2mOt

Checkout this incredible time lapse video of this morning's capture of the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft by astronaut David Saint-Jacques of @CSA_ASC, backed up by Nick Hague of NASA. #AskNASA | nasa.gov/live

Today we celebrate all educators, especially those who are a part of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program! Thank you for your dedication to inspiring knowledge and joy in our future generations! You are making a difference! #TeacherAppreciationDay

How do you capture a #Dragon? Let it gracefully approach you then gently reach out and grapple it with a robotic arm. flic.kr/s/aHskiJyhQX

New #NASASocial alert! 🚀 We're opening our doors in June for you to see SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket carry 20+ satellites to space. Apply to go behind the scenes, meet experts from @AFspace, @nasa, NOAA & much more: go.nasa.gov/2Y9ceJ8

Such a great video highlighting the 2018 SSEP Conference from a student's perspective! Thank you, @REALM_BISD!

Great to see pics of the crew that is aboard the ISS right now!
