SUMMARY:NASA MEDIA TELECON ON SPACEX CRS-15 CARGO MISSION TO ISS\, June 11\, 2018\, virtual\, 2:00 pm ET (audiocast)
DESCRIPTION:NASA will hold a media teleconference on June 11\, 2018 at 2:00 pm ET to discuss the science investigations that will launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on the next SpaceX cargo mission\, SpX-15.  The launch is scheduled for June 29\, 2018. \nAudio of the June 11 teleconference will be available on NASA Live. \nNASA’s description of the event is as follows. \nDavid Brady\, assistant program scientist for the International Space Station Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center\, and Liz Warren\, associate program scientist at the Center for Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS)\, will provide an overview of the research and technology aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. \nAlso participating in the briefing will be: \n\nJohn Hogan\, NASA’s Ames Research Center – principal investigator for the Micro-12 investigation\, will discuss this cellular biology research on how microgravity affects the growth\, gene expression and ability of a model bacterium to transfer electrons through its cell membrane along bacterial nano wires it produces. Such bacteria could be used in microbial fuel cells to make electricity from organic waste.\n\n\nPaul Jaminet\, founder and chief executive officer\, and Shou-Ching Jaminet\, chief scientist\, Angiex – will discuss Angiex’s investigation of endothelial cells\, the cells that line the walls of blood vessels. Culturing endothelial cells in microgravity could create an important model system for evaluating the action of any vascular-targeted drug. Use of this model may enable Angiex to develop a novel cancer therapy with lower toxicity and potential to be effective against most cancers.\nFred Turek and Martha Vitaterna\, Northwestern University – principal investigators for Rodent Research-7\, will discuss their research to examine how the space environment affects the community of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract of mice (also known as the microbiota). Results could help protect astronaut health during long-term missions by providing insights into the microbial populations’ interactions with physiological systems including the gastrointestinal\, immune\, metabolic\, circadian\, and sleep systems during spaceflight.\nMark Settles\, University of Florida – principal investigator for the Space Algae investigation\, will discuss research to select algae strains adapted to space and sequence their genomes to identify growth-related genes. Algae consume waste carbon dioxide\, can provide basic nutrition and may perceive microgravity as a trigger to produce algae oils rich in antioxidants that may help mitigate the harmful effects of microgravity and cosmic radiation during spaceflight.
