Editors note: This media advisory was updated on March 22, 2024, to reflect a change in news conference participants.
After spending 199 days in space, NASAs SpaceX Crew-7 crew members will discuss their science mission aboard the International Space Station during a news conference at 2:30 p.m. EDT Monday, March 25, at the agencys Johnson Space Center in Houston.
NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa will answer media questions about their mission aboard the space station and their return to Earth. The three crew members, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov returned aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, splashing down at 5:47 a.m., March 12, off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, before flying back to Houston.
Event coverage will stream live on NASA+, NASA Television, and the agencyswebsite. Learn how to stream NASA TVthrough a variety of platforms including social media.
Media are invited to attend in-person or virtually. Media must RSVP to the Johnson newsroom no later than 12:30 p.m. March 25 at jsccommu@mail.nasa.gov or 281-483-5111. Media should dial-in to the news conference by 2 p.m. the day of the event to ask a question. Questions also may be submitted on social media using #AskNASA. A copy of NASAs media accreditation policy is online.
The crew spent six-and-a-half months in space, with 197 days total aboard the space station. During the mission, Moghbeli completed a spacewalk, a first in her career, alongside NASA astronaut Loral OHara. It was the first spaceflight for Moghbeli and Borisov, and the second for Furukawa and Mogensen.
The crew lived and worked aboard the station since Aug. 26, 2023. Duringthe mission, crew contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations, including studying plant immune function in microgravity, testing materials in the space environment, and observing thunderstorms to understand the effects of lightning and electrical activity on Earths climate and atmosphere. These experiments are helping to prepare for exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth.
They spent five days with the newly arrived crew of NASAs SpaceX Crew-8 mission, who docked to the station on March 5, and conducted a direct handover introducing three first-time flyers to the space station, discussing ongoing tasks and system statuses.
