Record­ed dur­ing a live event, Des­ti­na­tion Sta­tion forum is the sec­ond in a series of inter­ac­tive pan­el dis­cus­sions about the Inter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion and how tech­nolo­gies are test­ed aboard the orbit­ing lab­o­ra­to­ry. Thou­sands of inves­ti­ga­tions have been per­formed on the space sta­tion, and although they pro­vide ben­e­fits to peo­ple on Earth, they also pre­pare NASA to send humans far­ther into the solar sys­tem than ever before. The pro­duc­tion occurred at the David­son Cen­ter for Space Explo­ration the­ater at the Space & Rock­et Cen­ter – the offi­cial vis­i­tor infor­ma­tion cen­ter for NASA’s Mar­shall Space Flight Center.

Forum pan­elists and exhibits focused on space sta­tion envi­ron­men­tal and life sup­port sys­tems; 3‑D print­ing; Space Com­mu­ni­ca­tions and Nav­i­ga­tion (SCaN) sys­tems; and Syn­chro­nized Posi­tion Hold, Engage, Reori­ent, Exper­i­men­tal Satel­lites (SPHERES).

The forum’s pan­elists are:
— Jef­frey Shee­hy, senior tech­nol­o­gist in NASA’s Space Tech­nol­o­gy Mis­sion Directorate
— Robyn Gatens, man­ag­er for space sta­tion Sys­tem and Tech­nol­o­gy Demon­stra­tion, and Envi­ron­men­tal Con­trol Life Sup­port Sys­tem expert
— Jose Bena­vides, SPHERES chief engineer
— Rich Rein­hart, prin­ci­pal inves­ti­ga­tor for the SCaN Testbed
— Niki Werkeis­er, project man­ag­er for the space sta­tion 3‑D printer
