Epps is an alumnae of Syracuse City schools and Le Moyne College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Le Moyne hosted an eclipse viewing event on April 8 with astronomy and science talks by faculty and local science clubs. On April 12, Grant Farrokh, a space station trajectory operations and planning officer at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston and also a former Le Moyne student, gave a presentation to students. On April 18 student clubs and organizations at Le Moyne will participate in the streaming event, and the college career advising and development office will discuss career opportunities for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 23 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts living in space aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA\u2019s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation) Near Space Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/international-space-station\/\">International Space Station<\/a> benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for other agency missions. As part of NASA\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/artemis\">Artemis<\/a> campaign, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers \u2013 the Artemis Generation \u2013 ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See videos and lesson plans
