Solar System Ambassador Pam Roller and her Astro-Pup Patches are inviting you to watch an educational event.

At 1:10 p.m. on Friday, June 19, there will be an International Space Station Expedition 63 in-flight educational event with recorded questionsfrom students at Challenger Learning Centers and Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy and NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.

You can watch live on NASA TV by visiting www.nasa.gov.

Challenger Learning Centers are named for the Challenger space shuttle crew who lost their lives during a mission on January 28, 1986. These facilities provide students an opportunity to go on exciting space missions in a life size mock up of a Mission Control Center and a Space Station. Students get to experience being astronauts and engineers while working collaboratively. They are engaged in using the skills of cooperative learning: teamwork, communication, problem solving, decision-making, and applying what they have learned to real world situations.
