Caribbean & Central American Students Speak to the International Space Station

During this event, students from the Caribbean and Central America had the opportunity to speak with NASA Astronaut Josh Cassada to learn about natural disaster research and monitoring, as seen from the unique perspective of the International Space Station. More than 400 questions were submitted by schools in the region. The selected questions were related to climate change and monitoring hazard events such as hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and coastal erosion.
