Happy Saturday everyone,
Randy Bresnik, an astronaut with NASA, will be launching to the International Space Station in June. Before leaving Earth, each astronaut identifies a special interest of theirs to focus some of their outreach on. For Randy, the area of interest he identified is photography – his grandfather was a photographer, and he’s really great himself. He’s planning to take photos he’s captured around the world here on Earth and match them up to photos he takes of the same location from space. It doesn’t have many of his own photos on it yet, but he recently started an Instagram account at www.instagram.com/astrokomrade – you can see some photos of his training there right now, and he’ll be adding more.
He has a news conference on his mission coming up on Jan. 25, and a representative from NASA has invited some members of the Houston Photographic Society to attend it.
It will be from 1-2 pm. They can arrange a small tour if we can be there a little earlier, say 12 noon. They can accommodate upto 15 people. You would be able (and encouraged!) to ask questions to Randy related to photography during the event, and we’d also love for you to share your experience via social media. Please signup at your earliest convenience.
Please use this form to signup.
If you are having issues signing up, please let me know.
Date: Jan 25th, 2017
Time: 1 pm - 2pm
Location : NASA – Johnson Space Center
