> good morning all,
 The visit to Wilson Elementary went great yesterday….I spoke with 2nd & 3rd graders and a few 1st graders…we had so much fun…I received wonderful feedback from the school...the kids are always excited and it is so much fun sharing the launches, the astronauts on the space station, and the future of going to Mars….I’ve already received questions from the kids so I will try to get them answered…..life is amazing, we really never know what will happen and it is interesting how things can change in the blink of an eye…most of you know I swim 5 days a week, about 90 minutes a day and the other 2 days I go to the gym lifting weights, 90 minutes a day... so in decent shape…I’m always trying to improve and continually strive to get better at everything but never stress about it, just do my best and have fun…so last week, out of nowhere, I find out I have a double hernia and will have surgery on Wed (today) at 11am…hopefully all will go well and I should be home in the evening, starting on recovery….I have heard varying degrees of recovery time althoughI know I will do they best I can to get back to full speed as soon as possible…wishing everyone a wonderful day, we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, make each day special, let those we care about most know, keep things in perspective, smile and have fun! gabe


FOR THOSE WHO SIGNED UP TO GO TO MARS, LIKE ME, I HOPE YOU PRINTED THE BOARDING PASS FOR THE KIDS, MAYBE DISPLAY THEM IN THE CLASSROOM AND FOLLOW ALONG AS THE MISSION DEVELOPS FOR A MARCH 2016 LAUNCH...

> The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) H-II Transport Vehicle-5 (HTV-5) launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan on a Japanese H-IIB rocket Aug. 19, 2015 and arrived at the International Space Station on Aug. 24, where it docked to the station's Harmony module. Five weeks after delivering approximately five tons of supplies and experiments to the International Space Station, an unpiloted Japanese cargo ship is scheduled to depart the station Monday, Sept. 28. NASA Television will provide live coverage of the departure beginning at 11 a.m. EDT. Robotic flight controllers in the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will begin preparing the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) H-II Transport Vehicle-5 (HTV-5) for unberthing from its port on the station’s Harmony module several hours before its release. Expedition 45 Flight Engineer Kimiya Yui of JAXA, backed up by NASA Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren, will command the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm to release HTV-5, loaded with station trash at about 11:20 a.m. A few hours after its release, the cargo ship will fire its engines to begin a controlled deorbit and entry through Earth’s atmosphere, where it will burn up over the Pacific Ocean. HTV-5 carried a variety of experiments and supplies to the space station, including the NanoRacks External Payload Platform, which can house multiple investigations in the open-space environment of the station, and the CALorimetric Electron Telescope investigation, an astrophysics mission that measures high energy particles to search for dark matter and the origin of cosmic rays. Also aboard were various nanosatellites used for space research, known as CubeSats <http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/heo/home/CubeSats_initiative/>, including 14 Planet Labs Dove satellites, which will capture images of Earth for use in humanitarian, environmental and commercial applications. GomSpace GOMX-3 is a small satellite containing three radios. One radio receives beacons from commercial aircraft to improve air traffic monitoring, while the other two test reception and data downlink in the L-band, used by GPS satellites, and the X-band, used by the military and for weather monitoring, air traffic control and other uses. HTV-5 also delivered materials to support the Twins Study <https://www.nasa.gov/twins-study>, a compilation of 10 investigations designed to gain broader insights into the subtle effects of and changes that occur in the environment of space as compared to that of Earth by studying two individuals who have the same genetics, but are in different environments. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly is participating from the space station while his identical twin Mark Kelly, a retired astronaut, is participating on Earth. The study includes a suite of integrated human space physiology and cellular-level experiments.

> TWO CREW MEMBERS ARE HALFWAY THROUGH THEIR YEAR IN SPACE. SCOTT KELLY AND MIKHAIL KORNIENKO CLOCKED IN THEIR 171ST DAY IN SPACE ON SEPTEMBER 15TH. AND AS THEY ENTER THE SECOND HALF OF THEIR MISSION, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT MILESTONES ON THE HORIZON. ON OCTOBER 16, KELLY WILL PASS NASA ASTRONAUT MIKE FINCKE’S MARK OF 382 TOTAL DAYS IN SPACE, BECOMING THE NEW AMERICAN RECORD HOLDER. THEN, JUST UNDER TWO WEEKS LATER, KELLY AND KORNIENKO WILL BREAK THE EXPEDITION 14 CREW’S RECORD OF 215 STRAIGHT DAYS ABOARD THE ISS. AND THEY’LL BE RAISING THE BAR QUITE A BIT BY THE TIME THEY COME HOME ON MARCH 3RD NEXT YEAR, SPENDING 342 CONSECUTIVE DAYS ON THE STATION.
>
> OF COURSE, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SCIENCE, AND FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS THE ONE-YEAR MISSION IS HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN. KELLY AND KORNIENKO ARE SERVING AS SUBJECTS IN SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS FOCUSING ON SEVEN KEY AREAS OF HUMAN RESEARCH. ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX STUDIES THAT’S BEEN TAKING PLACE IS CALLED FLUID SHIFTS, AND IT’S LOOKING TO SOLVE THE TROUBLESOME ISSUE OF CHANGES IN ASTRONAUT VISION WHILE IN MICROGRAVITY. ALL OF THE HUMAN RESEARCH FOR THE ONE YEAR MISSION IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE US FOR EXPLORATION WAY BEYOND OUR PLANET. COUPLED WITH SCOTT KELLY’S TWINS STUDY, THE NEXT SIX MONTHS ARE GOING TO BE PACKED WITH RESEARCH FOR THIS RECORD SETTING DUO.

> IF YOU AREN’T ALREADY, BE SURE TO FOLLOW SCOTT KELLY TO WATCH THE SECOND HALF OF HIS MISSION UNFOLD. YOU CAN FOLLOW @STATIONCDRKELLY ON TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM, WHERE’S HE’S BEEN SHARING HUNDREDS OF PICTURES AND VIDEOS FROM HIS TIME IN SPACE. AND WE PARTNERED WITH THE WHITE HOUSE SO YOU CAN SEND KELLY AND KORNIENKO YOUR BEST WISHES AS THEY CONTINUE THIS HISTORIC MISSION. YOU CAN ALSO HEAD OVER TO WWW.NASA.GOV/ONEYEAR FOR THE ALL THE LATEST NEWS.

> KEEP SENDING US YOUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS USING THE HASHTAG SPACE-TO-GROUND AND WE’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
