    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 April 2021 E. Michael Fincke (Colonel, U.S. Air Force, Ret.) NASA Astronaut Summary: E. Michael Fincke was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1996. The Pennsylvania native is the veteran of three spaceflights, Expedition 9 in 2004, Expedition 18 in 2009, and STS-134 in 2011. For Expedition 9, Fincke served as Science Officer and Flight Engineer during his six-month stay onboard the International Space Station. While there, he performed four spacewalks. For Expedition 18, Fincke served as Commander, where he and his crew prepared the station for future six-person crews. For STS-134, he served as Mission Specialist and completed three spacewalks. Col. Fincke has logged more than a year in orbit, with nine space walks. After working with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to develop and bring two new crewed spacecraft online, the Space-X Crew Dragon and the Boeing CST-100 Starliner, Fincke was selected to serve as the Joint Operations Commander on the first crewed experimental test flight of the Starliner. Riding on the Atlas V launch vehicle, this will be Mike’s third rocket and spacecraft combination to orbit. He is currently preparing for his fourth spaceflight, scheduled to launch to the International Space Station later this year. Personal Data: Born March 14, 1967, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but considers Emsworth, Pennsylvania, to be his hometown. Married to the former Renita Saikia of Houston, Texas.

The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 12th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 25-28, 2018, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research. All ISS partners are represented at the summit. The summit is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Space Policy Program, Texas A&M University College of Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine. Organizers Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

Joining the Expedition 11 crew aboard Soyuz TMA-6 was European Space Agency Astronaut Roberto Vittori, an Italian Air Force pilot. He spent eight days on the Station, conducting a variety of experiments before returning home with Chiao and Sharipov. During the Expedition 11 mission, 15 scientifi c investigations are planned, most of which United Space Alliance Training Team member Oscar focus on how the human body changes and Koehler, left, assists Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, adapts to the microgravity environment of Orbiting 221 miles above the Earth, the International Space Station is seen with the Port One truss and right, and astronaut John Phillips as they participate space.

This conference focuses on ISS R & D — research results and future opportunities in physical sciences, life sciences, Earth and space sciences, and spacecraft technology development. Plenary sessions will highlight major results and pathways to future opportunities. Organizations managing and funding research on ISS, including NASA programs and the ISS National Laboratory will provide overviews of upcoming opportunities. Parallel technical sessions will provide tracks for scientists to be updated on significant accomplishments to date within their disciplines. On June 28. NASA will conduct a separate workshop designed to help new users take this information and develop their own ideas for experiments using this unique laboratory, as well as a SBIR Technologies workshop. Potential ISS users who attend will learn: “What can I do on the ISS? How can I do it?” This is the only annual gathering offering perspectives on the full breadth of research and technology development on ISS, and includes one stop for the full suite of opportunities for future research.

The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific research, technology development, exploration and education. As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth. This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders.
