Canadian commands space station for first time 13 March 2013 into the ship and everyone would think you were stealing it." Hadfield, 53, rocketed into space in December on a 147-day mission. It was his third trip into space and his second to the ISS. He took the helm of the ISS—which orbits the Earth from a distance of 350 kilometers (217 miles), circling the planet every 90 minutes at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour—as three astronauts from the previous mission departed for home. As ISS commander, Hadfield will oversee the station's operations, including over 100 scientific experiments, and be responsible for the safety of the crew and the station. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield speaks with a journalist at the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, (c) 2013 AFP outside Moscow, on November 28, 2012. Hadfield became the first Canadian to assume command of the International Space Station. With the ringing of a ceremonial bell in space to mark a crew change, astronaut Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian to assume command of the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Canadian Space Agency called it "a historic milestone for our country." Hadfield said in a Twitter message that outgoing Expedition 34 commander Kevin Ford of NASA handed him the "keys" to the spaceship, marking the start of the Hadfield-led Expedition 35. The two men also shook hands and gave short speeches, and Ford offered Hadfield a few gifts. A fan back on Earth, meanwhile, offered Hadfield this advice in a Twitter message: "Don't lock your keys inside the spaceship.

EXPEDITION 34 Next Expedition Aboard the International Space Station Will Be Exciting, As Astronauts Work with New Experiments
National Aeronautics and Space Administration International Space Station MISSION SUMMARY begins Nov. 18, 2012 and will end March 15, 2013. This EXPEDITION 34 next expedition aboard the International Space Station will be exciting, as astronauts work with new experiments. These include the Facility for Absorption and Surface Tension (FASTER) investigation, provided by the European Space Agency, which will study how surfactants (surface acting agents that reduce the surface tension of water, such as soap) are affected by microgravity. Additionally, a Canadian Space Agency investigation called Microflow1 will be the first demonstration in space of a miniaturized flow cytometer that will to allow doctors and scientists to quantify molecules and cells in blood.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Off t Ert, Fr t Ert A message from the Program Manager for the International Space Station As we reflect on the first 15 years of the International Space Station (ISS), we have achieved much in advancing human knowledge through research, enabling the first steps in commercialization of space, fostering peaceful international cooperation and enabling exploration beyond low earth orbit. e ISS has served as a unique microgravity laboratory to perform over 1600 experiments from researchers in over 80 countries. ese experiments are making discoveries that provide direct benefits to people on Earth and to expand our knowledge to enable humans to work, live and explore further into our solar system than ever before. To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration.
