Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly and Flight Engineer Tim Kopra of NASA discussed their military backgrounds and their life and work aboard the orbital laboratory during an in-flight interview Jan. 28 with the Military Times. Kelly, who is a retired Navy captain and Kopra, who is a retired Army colonel, are orbiting 250 miles above the Earth on the international outpost. Kelly is in the final weeks of a yearlong mission on the station gathering valuable biomedical data on the effects of long duration weightlessness that will be used to formulate a human mission to Mars. Kopra will remain on the space station until early June.
