NASA's Space to Ground: It's a Feast | Week of Nov. 25, 2022

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. Four Expedition 68 astronauts will relax on Thanksgiving Day as three cosmonauts continue preparing for a spacewalk on Friday. The International Space Station residents are also expecting a space delivery this weekend bringing new roll-out solar arrays and science experiments.

Happy Thanksgiving from the International Space Station!

Thanksgiving is a federal holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is sometimes called American Thanksgiving (outside the United States) to distinguish it from the Canadian holiday of the same name and related celebrations in other regions.
