The next International Space Station crew, which includes NASA astronaut Steve Swanson, will take part in a NASA Television news conference and then be available for media interviews Wednesday, Jan. 22, at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Swanson and cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev of the Russian Federal Space Agency will launch to the space station aboard a Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft March 25 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan as part of Expedition 39. Swanson will serve as commander for Expedition 40 beginning in May. They are scheduled to return to Earth in September.

The news conference with the crew members will be carried live on NASA TV at 1 p.m. CST. B-roll video of the crew will air beginning at 12:30 p.m. Reporters who wish to participate by telephone should call Johnson's newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 12:45 p.m. Those following the briefing on social media can ask questions using the hashtag #askNASA.

After the news conference, interview opportunities are available in person, by phone or through the Internet. To request credentials to attend in person or to reserve an interview opportunity, media must contact Johnson's newsroom by 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17. The deadline for international journalists to attend in person has passed.

Swanson was born in Syracuse, N.Y., and grew up in Steamboat Springs, Colo. He holds degrees from University of Colorado, Florida Atlantic University and Texas A&M University. Swanson worked as a NASA systems engineer and flight engineer for the Shuttle Training Aircraft before being selected as an astronaut in 1998. Since then, he has flown on two space shuttle missions, STS-117 and STS-119, to the space station and conducted four spacewalks. Swanson's hobbies include backpacking, camping, trail running and mountain biking.

The Expedition 39-40 crew members will be the first to share their final weeks of mission preparations and their flight experiences on Instagram. Those interested can follow along at:

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), is proud to announce its first sponsored payloads berthed with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, January 12. Orbital Sciences Corporations Cygnus capsule successfully berthed with the ISS, marking the completion of its first full ISS resupply mission. CASIS is tasked with managing and promoting research on board the ISS U.S. National Laboratory.

Research on board Orbitals Cygnus capsule included a range of experiments from physical science, life sciences and education related payloads. On its test flight in September 2013, the Cygnus capsule transported three CASIS-funded education payloads from the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP). However, this flight signifies the first major payloads that CASIS brokered through its own outreach activities.

Below is an overview of the major payloads now on board the ISS sponsored by CASIS:

Antibiotic Effectiveness in Space (AES-1)

This investigation will examine how spaceflight-induced changes in bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics relate to antibiotic resistance in disease treatment on Earth. By studying physical and gene expression changes in bacteria in space, scientists hope to uncover the mechanisms involved in antibiotic susceptibility and resistance. This may help in identifying new targets for antibiotics or new approaches to reduce resistance of disease-causing bacteria.

Ants In Space (CSI-06)

This experiment analyzes the interrelationship between the interaction rate of a group of ants and the density of the group in normal gravity conditions versus microgravity. This and related experiments are designed to engage the K-12 community on Earth in near real-time ISS science.

Binary Colloidal Alloy Test: Low Gravity Phase Kinetics Platform (BCAT-KP)

This investigation will use the absence of buoyancy-driven convection in microgravity to examine aspects of complex fluid physics specifically, the movement of particles within colloids and the way these mixtures crystallize, melt and undergo phase separation. A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics needed to stabilize everyday commercial products may help in the development of new colloidal materials and product formulations with unique properties. These improved products may have enhanced performance, longer shelf life and lower manufacturing costs.
