NASA Astronaut to Answer Student Questions from Space Station

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir will participate in a Q&A session with students from New York from the International Space Station (ISS). During the event, Meir will address questions related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that have been pre-recorded by the students.

The communication between the ISS and Earth is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, beginning at 11:05 p.m. EDT. This encounter will be broadcast live on the space agency's "Learn With NASA" YouTube channel, allowing for widespread dissemination of the interaction.
