So that our crew members can spend valuable time with friends and family, we will be closed on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 28, and we will reopen Friday, Nov. 29 at 9 a.m. We wish everyone a happy holiday!
In the meantime, check out the video below demonstrating what Thanksgiving is like in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut and Expedition 50 commander Shane Kimbrough shared how he and his crewmates celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday and his view of Earth from orbit during the holiday season in a downlink message recorded Nov. 18, 2016.
