The International Space Station National Laboratory is bringing sessions to 2025 ASCEND in Las Vegas!
We’re welcoming the broad microgravityThe condition of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for example when an object is in orbital motion. Microgravity alters many observable phenomena within the physical and life sciences, allowing scientists to study things in ways not possible on Earth. The International Space Station provides access to a persistent microgravity environment. community to ASCEND in bold new ways. We’ve added speakers working with the ISS National Laboratory. They will be showcasing cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs in low Earth orbit(Abbreviation: LEO) The orbit around the Earth that extends up to an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 miles) from Earth’s surface. The International Space Station’s orbit is in LEO, at an altitude of approximately 250 miles.. You don’t want to miss this powerful experience, 22–24 July, Las Vegas!
