    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.

(CASIS) and NASA Sponsored by: The International Space Station (ISS) – Scientific Laboratory Technology Testbed Orbiting Outpost Galactic Observatory Innovation Engine Student Inspiration. 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. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year. Regards, MICHAEL T.
