NASA Explorers S4 E1: Orbiting Laboratory

Things behave a bit differently aboard the International Space Station, thanks to microgravity.

Sure, floating looks like fun, but it could also unlock new scientific discoveries.

Microgravity makes the station the perfect place to perform research that is changing the lives of people on Earth, and preparing us to go deeper into space. This season on #NASAExplorers, we are following science into low-Earth orbit and seeing what it takes to do research aboard the space station.

Awesome episode and a great overview! I can't wait for the rest of the series!

[kefhomepage]

I would love to be there :). Must be awesome

[thoremarschall]

Hardest challenge : don't hit the electric wires

[LifeinHD]

I am currently studying mechanical engineering in college and I’m hoping to work for NASA some day!

[venkatrao]

Hi NASA I wanna work as astronaut when I’m big

[mykikuchi]

Celebrate the long stay of the ISS and the success of the spacewalk mission. Please return to the ground safely.

2:20 When your face is 58, but your hair is 13...

[igkslife]

What if there was a space station manufacturer company? That could create orbital ports, orbital building stations, orbital clean up stations, or even a space hook, OR maybe even a space elevator!

[mykikuchi]

Congratulations on the ISS important space work and the success of your long stay.

[tuamatrem]

it's remarkable what people have been able to accomplish... keep up the good work :)

Did anyone else watch the explosion in space? Wednesday, January 29, 2020 10: 20/30 PM Baja California MX

That experiment at 4:21 looks like it could really benefit from a module on the ISS that's a rotating torus.

[spacianse]

Yes, after the Research is finished, report it to the Scientific Journal of the USA. And, send it to NASA Johnson Space Center. All the paper work will be taken cared of.

[MrGen]

he said in the sky there are millions of satellites ... how could there not be a single sight ... the nose should be seen ... "😂

[ZeroNine_X]

I WANT TO SAW THE FULL VIEW OF NASA IN REAL LIFE, HOW SATELLITES BUILT, BYEE REPLY ME NASA. Team

[jorgemrivera]

We send people on excellent physicals and mental health to find how some medication works on the human body . Do you think you can get better results if you send someone with some kind of illness and see how the medication works on an unhealthy subject?

[maihuyaar]

At 2:49 if she drink that drop of water is that(gravity) also effect her internally

[Transcriptor]

Even harder - don't hit the starlink satellites 😅

[diederikschip]

Which episode in the series will have the subject of crystal, dust - plasma experiments?

[robertfuszner]

What they are not telling you is what happens to the human body once out of microgravity and into deep space.
