NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer live-streamed a broadcast from space today using 4K ultra-high-definition technology for the first time. The duo called down to the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas to demonstrate the advanced technology and promote space science and filmmaking.
Expedition 51 worked throughout Wednesday on a variety of microgravity research and spaceship unpacking. The five crew members also conducted vision checks while their newest pair continued getting up to speed on International Space Station systems.
French astronaut Pesquet joined Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy for ultrasound scans and eye exams in the morning. The two crewmates are participating in a study to understand and offset the headward fluid shifts in space that are known to affect vision.
Pesquet got together at the end of the day with Whitson and Jack Fischer for more eye checks with guidance from doctors on the ground. Whitson also studied how astronauts adapt to touchscreen interfaces. Fischer spent a few hours swapping sample cartridges in a high-temperature furnace lab facility.
Veteran cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin continued offloading cargo from the new Soyuz MS-04 crew ship. Pesquet also transferred new science and crew supplies from the Cygnus resupply ship. Yurchikhin and Fischer are continuing to adapt to living and working aboard the station having been in space less than week.

I Just Have One Question ?
How Did You Get To The Space Station And How Will You Get Down ?
The astronauts and cosmonauts currently launch to the space station and land back on Earth inside Soyuz crew vehicles… https://www.nasa.gov/feature/soyuz-launches-arrivals-and-departures
Could you please explain the 11 second delay between the conference and the ISS.
Delay was the time it took to process the video through the onboard encoder before it went through the usual communication paths to the ground.
Is the 11 second delay due to buffering of the 4K signal?

Can we see a 24/7 live feed of the Earth from the ISS? That would be so awesome! Thanks
Yes! You can see it here… https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/
Why does the picture from the ISS get fuzzy sometimes? My cable never does that,is someone doing this weekend purpose?
Why the 20 second delay on this feed and added snow to video on dark side of Earth?

Hello!
I am hoping to get a high-quality picture of Mr. Jack Fisher (the one where he is in his space suit and floating in his spaceship). I am a citizen of Lafayette and I was awarded a grant to create a collaborative art/community sculpture. My project is called “The Mailbox Stories of Lafayette”
Concept:
Each mailbox has a unique story of Lafayette.
(Current, Historic, Interesting)
The lid of the mailbox is where a short story is told.
There are props in the mailbox that help tell the visual story.
(same idea as a box diorama)
We invite interaction and discovery by using a utilitarian means of communication in a surprising way and linking history, culture, and art through storytelling and 2/3D design.
So, one of my mailbox stories is of Jack Fisher and I would like to put his picture inside the mailbox. If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact me.
I have a copy of the picture that I’m am looking for but it is of poor quality.
Thank you for your time and interest in our fun Lafayette Art & Cultural Project.
