NASA ASTRONAUT FRANK RUBIO TO SPEAK ABOUT HIS YEAR-LONG MISSION, Sept 19, 2021, virtual 12:15 pm ET

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, who is aboard the International Space Station completing a year in space, will speak to the media on September 19 at 12:15 pm ET.  He will return to Earth on September 27 after 371 days on ISS, an unexpected doubling of how long he was scheduled to stay because the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft that took him and two cosmonauts to the ISS leaked its coolant into space and could not be used to take them home. An empty replacement, Soyuz MS-23, was launched instead, but it meant waiting untl now to depart.

The call will livestream on NASA TV, the NASA app and NASA Live.
