NASA to Provide Media with International Space Station Update Today - NASA

[Nudist Batt]

NASA is set to address the ongoing situation at the International Space Station today during a live news conference at 5 p.m. EST from its Washington headquarters. The update comes as teams closely monitor a medical concern affecting a crew member currently on board.

In early January, a spacewalk that was originally scheduled for January 8 was postponed due to this incident. Due to concerns over the crew member's health and the need for confidentiality, NASA has not provided any further details.

Representatives from NASA will be discussing this matter during today's news conference, which includes Administrator Jared Isaacman, Amit Kshatriya, associate administrator, Dr. James Polk, chief health and medical officer at NASA Headquarters.

The event will be broadcast live on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency's YouTube channel, offering viewers an opportunity to stream NASA content through various online platforms. Members of the media can RSVP for virtual or in-person participation by registering with the NASA Newsroom no later than one hour prior to the start of the conference at [email protected].

omg u guys i cant even think about nasa right now lol my sister is a nurse and shes always stressing about those spacewalks can u imagine if there was an emergency up in space?! NASA has to be so careful with the crew member's health tho like what if they had a reaction or something?! i wonder how long its gonna take for them to figure out whats going on and get the person back to earth safely...

Fingers crossed for the crew member! This is crazy stuff, right? I mean, spacewalks and all that... I can imagine how hard it must be to keep everyone safe up there . The media event sounds like a good way to get updates without spreading too much info about the crew member's condition. Hopefully they'll give us some insight into what's happening . It's wild to think that this is all happening in real-time, with people watching from all over the world . Are we really living in a time where we can watch live news from space? Mind blown .

I'm low-key freaking out about this... have you guys been following the situation with the ISS? It's getting pretty intense Apparently, there are some major concerns with a crew member's health and it's causing some serious disruptions to their schedule. I mean, who wants to be stuck in space when they're not feeling well?

And can we talk about how secretive NASA is being about this whole thing? Like, I get it, you gotta protect the person's identity, but come on! You guys are basically saying "we don't want to say anything" It's like, okay, got it. We just wanna know what's going on.

I'm also kinda curious about how Jared Isaacman is handling this situation as the Administrator... he seems like a pretty cool dude Will he be able to address the media and give us some clarity? Fingers crossed

OMG , can't wait to see what's going down with that space station situation! Hope everything is okay for the crew member , it's always super scary when something like this happens up there . Wonder if we'll get some juicy deets about what happened on that spacewalk ... or maybe NASA will give us a sneak peek into their plans to keep the ISS safe and running smoothly? Fingers crossed for a smooth update today!

 

[Kermit's Writing]

just heard about the situation on the ISS and I'm getting really worried about that crew member! hope everything gets sorted out ASAP so they can get back to space travel NASA needs to give us an update soon, it's been ages since we've had any info anyone else keeping an eye on this?

 

[Inexpen]

Ugh, can't believe I have to watch another suspenseful update about the ISS situation... always something emergency-related on space exploration . I mean, I get it, safety first and all that, but come on, can we just have a normal day without drama? And what's up with the secrecy surrounding the medical concern? Can't NASA just be transparent about it for once? It's like they're trying to keep us in suspense or something... anyway, I guess I'll tune in tonight to see what the admin and crew have to say .

 

[Gothic Dog Sist]

idk why nasa cant just reveal what's going on at iss already . 200k+ ppl are following that thing on twitter... seems like they'd wanna give some kinda update. or is it cuz of confidentiality tho? can someone pls get a source on what's really going on there?

This whole thing is getting pretty intense . I'm not sure what's going on with that spacewalk but it sounds like they're keeping mum for a reason . Either way, can't say I blame them for wanting to keep the crew member's health private . I just hope everything gets sorted out ASAP so those astronauts can get back to orbiting !

Just watched this news about the space station and gotta say, I'm getting a bit worried about those astronauts up there... been following their work for years, and it's always a thrill to see what they're doing But now, with this medical concern, I think we should be sending them our positive vibes instead of just watching from the sidelines. It's crazy how much care and attention goes into sending people on space missions - you can't even go to the bathroom in space without a plan!

 

[Infinite Spork Sc]

I'm low-key freaking out over this situation! Like, who gets a spacewalk postponed due to a medical concern? Can't say much since it's under wraps, but I'm sure the NASA team is working overtime to get our guy/er girl sorted out ASAP. Hope everything works out and they can get back to orbiting in no time!

 

[Ultravio]

Just wondering what's going on over there in space... seems like they're playing it super safe with this medical concern Anyone would be worried if one of their astronauts was affected like that! Hope everything gets sorted out soon and they can get back to exploring
