TIME’s 'A Year in Space' exclusive premiere
2015-06-24
On July 9, Johnson Space Center will premiere the first two episodes of TIME’s multi-part series “A Year in Space” in the Teague Auditorium at 11 a.m. The event will be broadcast live to all NASA centers.
JSC Director Ellen Ochoa will kick off the event, which will include a panel discussion with TIME’s Senior Editor of Photo and Interactive Jonathan Woods and Editor at Large and co-author of “Apollo 13” Jeffrey Kluger. Following the premiere of TIME’s “A Year in Space,” both Kluger and Woods will be present for a meet-and-greet inside the Teague Auditorium lobby.
TIME’s documentary series, “A Year in Space,” captures an all-access look at the astronaut Scott Kelly and his family as he embarks on one of NASA’s most significant long-duration missions to test the limits of the human body. The series features special interviews with Kelly and his family and lends a realistic perspective on the life of a NASA astronaut before launch and through his 12-month journey orbiting the globe.
“A Year in Space” reveals the breadth of planning necessary for a mission of such historical significance to occur. The series highlights the importance of NASA’s research by delivering special in-depth coverage of the research activities transpiring everyday on the International Space Station. Considering all that lies ahead for NASA’s future missions, “A Year in Space” looks to bring a greater understanding of how the One-Year Mission will impact NASA’s pursuit to send humans beyond low-Earth orbit.
