From NASA:"NASA astronaut Scott Kelly will launch to the space station in March 2015 to begin a yearlong stay aboard the orbiting laboratory -- the longest single space mission ever undertaken by an American. He will be joined by Mikhail Kornienko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) on this one-year mission."

SpaceX Launch to Space Station Briefings

The private spaceflight company SpaceX is scheduled to launch its fifth official robotic resupply mission to the International Space Station Friday (Dec. 19), but NASA and SpaceX will host a series of news conferences Thursday (Dec. 18) to discuss the mission beforehand. You can watch the first briefing, a prelaunch conference, live in the window below starting at 12:00 p.m. EST (1700 GMT) on Thursday:

The other two press conferences detail the science flight to the space station onboard Dragon and will air at 1:30 p.m. EST (1830 GMT) and 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT). You can also watch the live launch of the Dragon to the space station starting at 12:15 p.m. EST (1715 GMT) Friday, with liftoff set for 1:22 p.m. EST (1822 GMT).

NASA's Orion Test Flight

Update for Dec. 5 at 12:27 p.m. EST: As NASA's recovery teams work to retrieve Orion out of the Pacific Ocean, the space agency will hold a press conference at 1:30 p.m. EST (1830 GMT).

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Bringing supplies to astronauts on the International Space Station can be a little screwy, leaving astronauts waiting for the next costly and risky resupply mission.

This week, thanks to 3-D printing, astronaut and ISS commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore had a wrench he needed manufactured by a printer in just four hours.

The ratcheting socket wrench was the first "uplink tool" printed in space, according to Grant Lowery, marketing and communications manager for Made In Space, which built the printer in partnership with NASA. The tool was designed on the ground, emailed to the space station and then manufactured.

From start to finish, the process took less than a week.

Made in Space's 3-D printer is the first to operate in zero gravity, and printed its first object in orbit -- a part for the printer, ironically -- in November.

"This means that we could go from having a part designed on the ground to printed in orbit within an hour to two from start to finish," Niki Werkheiser, NASA's 3-D print manager, said in a press release when the printer was sent to the ISS in September. "The on-demand capability can revolutionize the constrained supply chain model we are limited to today and will be critical for exploration missions."

The goal for the project is to create in-space manufacturing, especially as missions venture farther from Earth.

NASA prints 3D wrench in space

A NASA COMMANDER on the International Space Station has been emailed a spanner just in time for Christmas.

Christmas probably has very little to do with the spanner - although we suspect that the space station's inhabitants are in a good position to see Santa coming - but 3D printing and progress do.

A post on the Medium.com website said that Made in Space, a 3D printing company with ties to NASA and hardware already on the ISS station, sent directions for the spanner to an onboard 3D printer.

"We had overheard ISS commander Barry Wilmore mention over the radio that he needed one, so we designed one in CAD and sent it up to him faster than a rocket ever could have. This is the first time we've ever emailed' hardware to space," wrote Mike Chen, founder of Made in Space.

"On the ISS this type of technology translates to lower costs for experiments, faster design iteration, and a safer, better experience for the crew members, who can use it to replace broken parts or create new tools on demand.

"But what I'm really excited about is the impact this could have on human space exploration beyond Earth orbit."

Chen, like Elon Musk, sees space exploration taking in Mars and, like the SpaceX explorer, has the red planet in his sights.

"When we do set up the first human colonies on the moon, Mars and beyond, we won't use rockets to bring along everything we need," he added. "We'll build what we need there, when we need it."
