Students from Wisconsin will have an opportunity this week to hear from NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The Earth-to-space call will air live at 10:20 a.m. EST on Thursday, Feb. 3, on NASA Television, theNASA app, and the agencys website.

NASA astronauts Kayla Barron and Thomas Marshburn will answer prerecorded video questions submitted by K-12 students from the Random Lake school district. The downlink is part of a larger unit of study on water in the school district, and it will be accessible to the entire community through a partnership with the local library.
