<div>Good morning all,</div>
<div> I hope you will be able to share this with the kids....I know the school year is so full but these are special opportunities to see astronauts heading to space....as well as the docking and transfer of the crew to the ISS...NASA TV will show the replay
many times so you should be able to see it whenever it is convenient. Also for the send your name to Mars...it is really cool, you can sign the kids up, then print a boarding pass with their name so they will have it when the mission leaves.... maybe make it
a class project to follow along as the mission is being readied and watch the blast off....I’ve been involved with many of these, it is always fun for the kids and I think it makes it more real for them when they know they are going on the mission...<font face="Arial"><b>

<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The next three crew members bound for the International Space Station are set to launch to the orbital outpost Wednesday, Sept. 2.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">NASA Television launch coverage will begin at 11:45 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Sept. 1.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Sergei Volkov of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), Andreas Mogensen of ESA (European Space Agency) and Aidyn Aimbetov of the Kazakh Space Agency will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
at 12:37 a.m. Wednesday (10:34 a.m. Baikonur time). Mogensen and Aimbetov are short duration crew members while Volkov will spend six months on the orbital complex.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The trio will travel in a Soyuz spacecraft, which will rendezvous with the space station and dock two days later to the Poisk module at 3:42 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 4. NASA TV coverage of docking will begin at
3 a.m.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The hatches between the Soyuz and station will be opened at about 6:15 a.m. on Sept. 4, at which time the newly arrived crew members will be greeted by Expedition 44 Commander Gennady Padalka of Roscosmos, as
well as Flight Engineers Oleg Kononenko and Mikhail Kornienko of Roscosmos, <a href="https://twitter.com/StationCDRKelly"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Scott Kelly</u></font></a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/astro_kjell"><font color="#0563C1"><u>Kjell Lindgren</u></font></a>
of NASA, and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. NASA TV coverage of the hatch opening will begin at 5:45 a.m.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">This will be the first time nine crew members are aboard the station simultaneously since November 2013. Padalka, Mogensen and Aimbetov will return to Earth on Saturday, Sept. 12, leaving Kelly in command of
Expedition 45. The change of command ceremony in which Padalka will hand over command of the space station to Kelly will be broadcast on NASA TV on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 2:40 p.m.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Kelly and Kornienko will return in March 2016 after spending a <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/content/one-year-crew"><font color="#0563C1"><u>year on the station</u></font></a> collecting valuable biomedical data
that will improve our understanding of the effects of long duration space travel and aid in NASA’s journey to Mars.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Together, the Expedition 45 crew members will continue the several hundred experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science currently underway and scheduled to take place aboard humanity’s
only orbiting laboratory.</span></font></div>

<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><b>Send Your Name to Mars on NASA's Next Red Planet Mission</b></span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Mars enthusiasts around the world can participate in NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/content/nasas-journey-to-mars"><font color="#0563C1"><u>journey to Mars</u></font></a> by adding their names to a silicon
microchip headed to the Red Planet aboard NASA's <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/insight"><font color="#0563C1"><u>InSight</u></font></a> Mars lander, scheduled to launch next year.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">"Our next step in the journey to Mars is another fantastic mission to the surface," said Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "By participating in this opportunity to
send your name aboard InSight to the Red Planet, you're showing that you're part of that journey and the future of space exploration."</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" color="red"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 8. To send your name to Mars aboard InSight, go to<font color="black">: </font><a href="http://go.usa.gov/3Aj3G"><font color="#0563C1"><u>http://go.usa.gov/3Aj3G</u></font></a></span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The fly-your-name opportunity comes with “frequent flier” points to reflect an individual's personal participation in NASA’s journey to Mars, which will span multiple missions and multiple decades. The InSight
mission offers the second such opportunity for space exploration fans to collect points by flying their names aboard a NASA mission, with more opportunities to follow.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Last December, the names of 1.38 million people flew on a chip aboard the first flight of NASA's Orion spacecraft, which will carry astronauts to deep space destinations including Mars and an asteroid. After
InSight, the next opportunity to earn frequent flier points will be NASA's Exploration Mission-1, the first planned test flight bringing together the Space Launch System rocket and Orion capsule in preparation for human missions to Mars and beyond.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">InSight will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California in March 2016 and land on Mars Sept. 28, 2016. The mission is the first dedicated to the investigation of the deep interior of the planet. It will
place the first seismometer directly on the surface of Mars to measure Martian quakes and use seismic waves to learn about the planet's interior. It also will deploy a self-hammering heat probe that will burrow deeper into the ground than any previous device
on the Red Planet. These and other InSight investigations will improve our understanding about the formation and evolution of all rocky planets, including Earth.
