SUMMARY:NASA Telecon on SpX-12 Science Payload\, Aug 8\, 2017\, virtual\, 12:00 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:NASA will hold a media teleconference on August 8\, 2017 at 12:00 pm ET to discuss select science investigations that will be delivered to the International Space Station on the next SpaceX cargo mission\, SpX-12\, which is scheduled for launch on August 13\, 2017.  Audio of the teleconference will be streamed at   https://www.nasa.gov/live \nParticipants are: \n\nMarco Baptista\, director of Research and Grants for the Michael J. Fox Foundation\, and lead investigator Sebastian Mathea of the University of Oxford\, England\, will discuss Crystallization of LRRK2 Under Microgravity Conditions. The investigation\, sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS)\, could help scientists better understand the pathology of Parkinson’s and aid in the development of therapies.\nJoan Nichols\, professor of internal medicine and infectious diseases\, and associate director of the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston\, will discuss the Effect of Microgravity on Stem Cell Mediated Recellularization (Lung Tissue). The experiment uses the microgravity environment of space to test strategies for growing new lung tissue\, and assists Earth-based efforts to develop complex bioengineered tissue that can be used to repair damaged organs or reduce organ rejection.\nEun-Suk Seo\, principal investigator for the Cosmic-Ray Energetics and Mass investigation (CREAM) at the University of Maryland\, College Park. This investigation will involve placing a balloon-borne instrument aboard the International Space Station to measure the charges of cosmic rays over a period of three years.\nMichael Delp\, principal investigator for Rodent Research-9 at Florida State University\, Tallahassee. The research team will evaluate the physiological changes in mice that occur during a long-duration spaceflight mission in order to improve understanding about how vision loss and joint changes occur in astronauts after long stays in space.\nWheeler “Chip” Hardy\, Kestrel Eye program manager with the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC)/Army Forces Strategic Command. NanoRacks-SMDC-Kestrel Eye is a microsatellite carrying an optical imaging system payload to validate the concept of using microsatellites in low-Earth orbit to support critical operations.
