NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman of Baltimore, Md., who is making final preparations for a May launch to the International Space Station, will be available for live satellite interviews from 6 to 7 a.m. EDT Friday, May 9.

Wiseman will participate live from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. The interviews will be preceded at 5:30 a.m. by a video b-roll feed of his mission training highlights. To participate, reporters should contact Karen Svetaka at 281-483-8684 orkaren.a.svetaka@nasa.govno later than 3 p.m., Thursday, May 8.

Wiseman is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Patuxent River, Md. As a naval aviator, Wiseman flew the FA-18F Super Hornet and served in numerous assignments around the world before his selection to NASA's astronaut corps in 2009

Wiseman, Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency and Maxim Suraev of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) will launch to the space station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft May 28 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They are scheduled to return to Earth in November.

Wiseman, Gerst and Suraev will join NASA astronaut Steve Swanson and Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev, who launched to the station in March. The six-person crew will participate in several hundred experiments in biology and biotechnology, physical science and Earth science during its nearly six-month-long space mission.

The International Space Station is NASA's springboard to the exploration of deep space and Mars. NASA uses the space station as a test bed to demonstrate new technologies and make research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The orbiting laboratory also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space over time and how to protect astronaut health for longer duration missions.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman Available for Interviews before Space Station Mission

NASA astronauts and Expedition 39 Flight Engineers Rick Mastracchio and Steve Swanson, currently orbiting Earth aboard the International Space Station, will speak with students and educators at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, Tuesday, May 6, at 11:55 a.m. EDT. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Media interested in covering the event should contact Ellie Rodgers at 208-426-5738 orellierodgers@boisestate.edu. Boise State University is located at 1910 University Drive in Boise.

Former NASA astronaut Barbara Morgan, who flew on space shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 mission in 2007 and currently is an educator-in-residence at the university, also will participate in Tuesday's event, which focuses on living and working in space.

Educators have been preparing their students for the conversation with the crew by incorporating NASA activities in their classrooms. A group of Boise State students working on this event have dubbed themselves the "Space Broncos" and are working on maintaining a social media site and developing educational demonstrations for Swanson, who has been named a "Professor of Practice" by Boise State, to perform in orbit.

This in-flight education downlink is one in a series designed to improve teaching and learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It is an integral component of NASA's Teaching From Space education program, which promotes learning opportunities and builds partnerships with the education community using the unique environment of space and NASA's human spaceflight program.
