Meir and Expedition 62 commander <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gctc.ru\/main.php?id=211\" rel=\"noopener\">Oleg Skripochka<\/a> launched to the space station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft on<a href=\"https:\/\/go.nasa.gov\/2l8vit7\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sept. 25, 2019<\/a>. It is the first spaceflight for both Morgan and Meir. Morgan, who considers New Castle, Pennsylvania, to be his hometown, has participated in seven spacewalks, including four to help repair a cosmic ray detector experiment called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Meir, who is from Caribou, Maine, participated in the first three all-woman spacewalks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cassidy and his Expedition 63 crewmates, Roscosmos cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, are scheduled to launch and arrive at the space station Thursday, April 9. Cassidy, who considers York, Maine, to be his hometown, will become commander of Expedition 63 when Meir, Morgan and Skripochka return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teleconference will take place on Cassidy\u2019s first day on his third spaceflight, Meir\u2019s 199th day in space during her mission, and Morgan\u2019s 266th day in space, placing him fourth on the list of American astronauts for total time in space during one spaceflight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/nasa-counts-down-to-twenty-years-of-continuous-human-presence-on-international-space-station\">almost 20 years<\/a>, humans have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and demonstrating new technologies, making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth that will enable long-duration human and robotic exploration into deep space, including the Moon and Mars. As a global endeavor, 239 people from 19 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory that has hosted more than 2,800 research investigations from researchers in 108 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Morgan on social media at: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/astrodrewmorgan\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>http:\/\/instagram.com\/astrodrewmorgan<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AstroDrewMorgan\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AstroDrewMorgan<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"750\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AstroDrewMorgan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweets by AstroDrewMorgan<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Meir on social media at: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/astro_jessica\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>http:\/\/instagram.com\/astro_jessica<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"750\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Astro_Jessica?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweets by Astro_Jessica<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Cassidy on social media at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/astro_seal\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>http:\/\/instagram.com\/astro_seal<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download b-roll and additional video content at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nasa.gov\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>http:\/\/images.nasa.gov<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the latest space station news, images and features on <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/iss\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iss\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Space_Station\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-end-<br>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Stephanie Schierholz<br \/>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br \/>\n202-358-4997<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:stephanie.schierholz@nasa.gov\">stephanie.schierholz@nasa.gov<\/a><br \/>\nBrandi Dean \/ Jennifer Hernandez<br \/>\nJohnson Space Center, Houston<br \/>\n281-483-5111<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:brandi.k.dean@nasa.gov\">brandi.k.dean@nasa.gov<\/a> \/ <a href=\"mailto:jennifer.hernandez-1@nasa.gov\">jennifer.hernandez-1@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three NASA astronauts will participate in a live media teleconference at 10:45 a.m. EDT Friday, April 10.
