For 20 years, astronauts living and working aboard the International Space Station have conducted science in a way that cannot be done anywhere else. Orbiting about 250 miles above our planet, the space station is the only laboratory available for long-duration microgravity research in the world. In recognition of the 20th anniversary of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station, listen as Tara Ruttley, associate chief scientist for gravitational research at NASA Headquarters, sits down with senior science management who are leading the science and research efforts within the International Space Station Program Research Office. Learn more about the importance of doing research in microgravity, how that research has made technological advances and benefited life on Earth for the past two decades, and how the science conducted on the space station today is preparing us for future Artemis missions. Joining the conversation are ISS Chief Scientist Kirt Costello, ISS Deputy Chief Scientist Jennifer Buchli, and ISS Research Integration Office Manager Marybeth Edeen.
