Media Invite: Join ISS National Lab and NASA's Webinar Showcasing Innovative Research on Next SpaceX Mission to Space Station
19 October 2024
The International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory and NASA will host a webinar to discuss upcoming research and technology development projects launching on SpaceX's 31st Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission for NASA to the orbiting outpost.
This webinar will showcase how research on the space station is enabling innovation, benefiting humanity, and driving a sustainable market economy in low Earth orbit. The webinar is scheduled to take place Wednesday, October 23 at 1 p.m. EDT.
Investigations on this mission are slated to launch to the space station onboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft in the coming weeks from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
