Space to Ground (7 March 2025)
The Space to Ground update for March 7, 2025, highlights key events aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during a significant period of crew transition and ongoing research. On March 7, NASA astronaut and ISS Commander Suni Williams handed over command to Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin, marking a leadership transition as four crewmembers prepared to return to Earth aboard the SpaceX Crew-9 Dragon spacecraft. The Crew-10 mission, carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain, Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, was scheduled to launch no earlier than March 12, 2025, with docking planned shortly after. The video offers a serene glimpse of Earth's beauty from the ISS vantage point, inviting viewers to appreciate our home planet while continuing important research in human physiology, fluid physics, and spacesuit technology. NASA's lunar exploration efforts, including the successful landing of Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1 on the Moon and the upcoming Intuitive Machines IM-2 mission targeting the lunar South Pole, carry NASA science and technology instruments to advance lunar surface exploration.
