- Actor Billy Dee Williams narrates this video about the year-long mission being conducted aboard the International Space Station by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. The average International Space Station expedition lasts four to six months. Research enabled by the one-year mission will help scientists better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. This knowledge is critical as NASA looks toward human missions deeper into the solar system, including to and from Mars, which could last 500 days or longer. It also carries potential benefits for humans on Earth, from helping patients recover after long periods of bed rest to improved monitoring for people whose bodies are unable to fight infections.

- Six months after arriving at the International Space Station to deliver three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the station’s residents, the unpiloted Russian ISS Progress 58 cargo craft undocked from the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module Aug. 14, headed for its deorbit hours later to burn up harmlessly over the Pacific Ocean. Another Progress resupply freighter remains docked to the station after arriving in July, with the next Russian cargo vehicle – the ISS Progress 61 – scheduled to launch Oct. 1 with additional supplies for the station’s crewmembers
