Back in March, Kelly and Kornienko agreed to spend twice the length of a normal mission on the ISS, as NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) study how extended voyages in space impact the human mind and body.

NASA recently released images of the global Space Station crossing the face of the sun the previous Sunday. She speaks with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang on “Bloomberg West”. And she’s not even old enough to remember the start of the worldwide Space Station.
“I think that it’s so exciting, and like Sebastian, I’m overwhelmed to be here”, Davis said.
Famous astronaut Scott Kelly is part of a NASA program called “Year in Space” and he’s nearly halfway there.
After completing his work aboard the space station with Kelly and Kornienko, Mr. Padalka had totaled 879 days in space – “the equivalent of almost two and a half years on five different flights”, as NPR reported.
While Scott isn’t logging science reports, he is photographing the world at the global Space Station orbits earth.
Astronaut will run more than 600 miles on an especially designed treadmill during his one-year stay. Currently, Kelly is on a year-long mission to the worldwide Space Station (ISS).
Astronauts go into space regularly and may end up staying there for months at a time, and during that time nature must take its course, meaning that astronaut poop and its disposal method is a real issue.
Sending humans to Mars will be costly and will take a long time to achieve, Kelly noted.
Scott Kelly joined the breakfast by live video feed from space.
Transits also give NASA a way to detect vast numbers of potential exoplanets via its Kepler space telescope, calculating its distance both from the sun and from the earth through bright dips as they cross in front of either the sun, or their own stars.
“Astronaut Scott jelly will see 10,944 sunrises and sunsets during the “Year in Space” mission”.
Other space enthusiasts were quick to chime in as well, with one user noting that “unless [NASA] invented a completely new kind of camera”, the extraterrestrial body in question certainly could not be our great source of light and heat, despite its impressively bright appearance.

About 383 experiments will probably be carried out throughout Kelly’s keep.
