How do you get to the ISS? | Sci Guide (Ep 22) | Head Squeeze
891Just in time for NASA's Volare launch on Tuesday 28th May, Martin Archer explains how astronauts get to the International Space Station. It's like rocket science apparently.
Luca Parmitano from the European Space Agency is going to be in the Soyuz capsule taking three crew members up to the ISS on the Volare mission. You can watch it live at www.nasa.gov.
