Morgan to join International Space Station for seven month mission
Morgan, whose family roots lie in New Castle, Pennsylvania, will train for a seven month spaceflight on a Russian vehicle to the International Space Station. He emphasizes biomedical experiments, microgravity research on plants and animals, language and robotics training, and multiple planned space walks guided by a veteran Italian astronaut. He aims to share Earth images on social media and hopes to inspire Western Pennsylvania fans while witnessing Earth from the station’s orbit.
