Twenty-three investigations, involving students from many communities across the country, are on the manifest for delivery to the station and return home on the Dragon late this month (October 2012). The student research projects are part of The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). This program gives students the chance to design and propose investigations that study the effects of microgravity on physical, chemical and biological systems.
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 33 Commander Sunita Williams of NASA discussed life, research and her exercise regimen on the orbital laboratory with ABC News and CNN during a pair of in-flight interviews on October 11, 2012.
