Each partner agency will have 10 minutes for questions. Because of the limited time available, all U.S. media will be required to ask their questions in person at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston or NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. International media accreditation for this event is closed for participation from NASA\u2019s centers. Interested international media should contact partner agencies for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for accreditation at the Johnson Space Center, journalists must call Johnson\u2019s newsroom at 281-483-5111 by 9 a.m. EDT Tuesday, Sept. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for accreditation at Kennedy, U.S. media without permanent center credentials must apply for accreditation by 2 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7. Two forms of government-issued identification are required to receive a badge. One must be with a photograph such as a driver\u2019s license or passport. Badges will be available for pickup at the Kennedy Badging Office, located on State Road 405 east of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Hours for the Kennedy Badging Office are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Questions about accreditation may be addressed to Jennifer Horner at 321-867-6598 or <a href=\"mailto:jennifer.p.horner@nasa.gov\">jennifer.p.horner@nasa.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media must apply for Kennedy Space Center credentials online at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/media.ksc.nasa.gov\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Volkov, Mogensen and Aimbetov launched aboard a Soyuz TMA-18M rocket Wednesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The three are set to arrive at the space station on Friday, Sept. 4, and will join Kelly, Lindgren, Padalka, Kononenko, Kornienko, and Yui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip enables Roscosmos to rotate a crew member and a Soyuz spacecraft. Volkov will remain aboard the station for the next six months, returning in March 2016 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/content\/one-year-crew\">one-year mission<\/a> crew members Kelly and Kornienko in the Soyuz TMA-18M. Padalka, who launched in March with Kelly and Kornienko in the Soyuz TMA-16M, will return to Earth in that spacecraft on Friday, Sept. 11, with Mogensen and Aimbetov. Each Soyuz remains in orbit for about six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming months, Expedition 45 crew members will conduct more than 250 science investigations in fields such as biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences, and technology development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full schedule of docking and landing coverage, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/nasatv\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/nasatv<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the International Space Station, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christopher Hummel<br>\nKennedy Space Center, Fla.<br>\n321-867-2468<br>\nchristopher.k.hummel@nasa.gov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nGina Anderson<br>\nNASA Headquarters, Washington<br>\n202-358-1160<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:gina.n.anderson@nasa.gov\">gina.n.anderson@nasa.gov<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nine International Space Station crew members will discuss their mission with reporters from around the world during a joint crew news conference to air live on NASA Television at 10:10 a.m. EDT Tuesday, Sept. 8.
