At Destination Station, NASA astronauts, scientists and staff partner with the International Space Station to share the real and potential impacts of the space station on our everyday lives through general public events, researcher meetings, educational activities and legislative discussions.

Destination Station is making its way to Pittsburgh and landing on Pitt’s campus at the University Club on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

The space station utilizes microgravity, extreme conditions and low-Earth orbit to provide a unique science platform, which has currently enabled over 2,400 researchers in 95 countries to conduct more than 2,000 innovative experiments. Since 2000, the station has supported investigations in the areas of biology and biotechnology, human health, technology demonstrations and Earth, space and physical science.
