NASA Astronaut Don Pettit: The Science of Opportunity | International Space Station
As NASA astronaut Don Pettit returns to the International Space Station for the fourth time, he will be bringing with him new ideas . . . ideas for science experiments!
In addition to his duties onboard the space station, Pettit will be conducting what he calls “Science of Opportunity”—bonus science experiments of his own in addition to those he will work on day-to-day. These experiments could include everyday objects found on station, including liquid salt, powdered milk, and even Legos. As Pettit demonstrated in the past with his experiments, this bonus science can lead to peer reviewed scientific papers and new discoveries, proving you never know until you try.
NASA’s Don Pettit and Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner of Russia are preparing for their upcoming trip to the orbital outpost. Pettit, Ovchinin, and Vagner are scheduled to launch on Sept. 11, 2024, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for a planned six-month mission to the International Space Station.
