Watch as NASA Astronaut Tracy Dyson calls AirUCI from the ISS!

On Monday, July 8th, NASA Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson placed a video call to the AirUCI Institute from the International Space Station at 1:00 pm Pacific time to answer questions we compiled over a few weeks.  We were able to see and hear her live as she answered many of the questions on this video call.  This was a "crew-designated event" and a very special opportunity.  There were more than 60 people in the room as we spoke with Tracy, and several hundred viewers tuned in remotely to watch live on YouTube.  Among these were students in classes in multiple states and viewers in other countries.

Tracy is an honorary member and alumna of AirUCI and is now on her third trip to space.  She launched in late March for a six-month mission aboard the ISS, and she offered this opportunity to us which we shared with a wide audience, remote and in person.  In addition, the event was recorded for viewing now and in the future.    Watch the video call!

• Laura Hearon and John Stephen of NASA’s Astronaut Office
• Tatiana Overly, Physical Sciences Director of Communications and External Relations
• David Rotter, Jim Dao, and Pyisone Win of the Physical Sciences Computing Services Group
