ISS036-S-001 (January 2012) --- The dynamic design of the Expedition 36 patch portrays the International Space Station's (ISS) iconic solar arrays. The slanted angles denote a kinetic energy leading from the Earth in the lower right to the upper left tip of the triangular shape of the patch, representing the infinite scientific research, education, and long-duration spaceflight capabilities the ISS provides with each mission, as well as our goal for future exploration beyond the Space Station. The numbers 3 and 6 harmoniously intertwine to form expedition number 36 and its gray coloration signifies the unity and neutrality among all of the international partners of the ISS. The blue and gold color scheme of the patch represents the subtle way the central gold orbit wraps around the number 36 to form a trident at its lower right tip. The trident also symbolizes the sea, air, and land, all of which make up the Earth from where the trident originates in the design

During the mission, updates from Parmitano should become available on the blog site of 15-year Abigail Harrison, who will serve as his Earth-based liaison. Each day, Parmitano will correspond via email with Harrison, who will in turn distribute his photos, video and research to the world on her blog. Their hope is to continue the buzz that Twitter's favorite astronaut Chris Hadfield, who returns to Earth in May, has generated while on the ISS.

RELEASE: 13-139

NASA'S GOOGLE+ HANGOUT CONNECTS SPACE STATION, "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" CREWS

WASHINGTON -- The director, a writer and some actors in the film "Star
Trek Into Darkness" will join NASA as it hosts a Google+ Hangout from
noon to 12:45 p.m. EDT, May 16, about how work aboard the
International Space Station is turning science fiction into reality.

Google+ Hangouts allow as many as 10 people or groups to chat
face-to-face, while thousands more can tune in to watch the
conversation live on Google+ or YouTube.

The hangout also will be carried live on NASA Television and the
agency's website.

Participating in the hangout will be NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, who
currently is living and working aboard the space station; astronauts
Michael Fincke and Kjell Lindgren at NASA's Johnson Space Center in
Houston; director J.J. Abrams, screenwriter and producer Damon
Lindelof; and stars of the film, Chris Pine, Alice Eve and John Cho.
The participants will ask questions of each other and take questions
from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City (home of
the space shuttle Enterprise), the Smithsonian's National Air and
Space Museum in Washington, and social media followers.

Cassidy will provide insights about life aboard the station. Crews
conduct a variety of science experiments and perform station
maintenance during their six-month stay on the outpost. Their life in
weightlessness requires different approaches to everyday activities
such as eating, sleeping and exercising.

NASA's social media followers may submit video questions prior to the
hangout. Several video questions will be selected and answered by
astronauts and the movie cast. Unique and original questions are more
likely to be selected.

The deadline to submit video questions is 3 a.m. Wednesday, May 15. To
be considered, video clips must be no longer than 30 seconds and
uploaded to YouTube and tagged with #askNASA. Submitters should
introduce themselves and mention their location before asking their
question.

NASA also will take questions submitted leading up to and during the
event by fans on YouTube, Google+, Twitter and Facebook using
#askNASA. On the morning of the event, NASA will open a thread on its
Facebook page where questions may be posted.

The hangout may be viewed live on NASA's Google+ page, the NASA
Television YouTube channel, or NASA TV. To join the hangout, and for
updates and opportunities to participate in upcoming hangouts, visit

Chris Cassidey completed trouble shooting on the Destiny lab HD encoder. He confirmed with CAPCOM that will enable HD video in the lab without using the MPC. Houston is studying how/when the capability will be used and confirmed audio is not yet included but will be tested the future.

Chris joked he didn't want Hal Getzelman to hear the bad things he was saying about him. Hal responded that Chris was free to say anything as long he didn't go after the Air Force

I didn't realize Hal had an AF background...

For full disclosure , I'm retired AF as well.
