NASA is planning to host a live Twitch stream next week from the International Space Station (ISS) – its first from the ISS. The stream, which takes place on February 12th at 11:45AM ET on NASA’s Twitch channel, will feature Don Pettit, an astronaut currently on the ISS, and Matt Dominick, who returned to Earth from the ISS in October.
The astronauts will discuss “daily life aboard the space station and the research conducted in microgravity” and viewers will be able to ask them questions, according to a blog post.
“This Twitch event from space is the first of many,” Brittany Brown, director of the Office of Communications Digital and Technology Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, says in the post. “We spoke with digital creators at TwitchCon about their desire for streams designed with their communities in mind, and we listened. In addition to our spacewalks, launches, and landings, we’ll host more Twitch-exclusive streams like this one.”
