The International Space Station has recently doubled its crew from three to six astronauts. As the ISS transitions from its construction phase to its utilization phase as a U.S. national laboratory in space, what are we learning and what scientific discoveries are being made? Please join the Aerospace Industries Association as we host a panel discussion on the current status of the international space station, its science, its unique role as a laboratory in space, and the benefits it brings our nation and the world.
