Ever wondered what life is like for an astronaut? Now you can ask during NASA’s first Twitch event, where astronauts will be broadcasting live from the International Space Station (ISS).
The stream is set to take place on Wednesday, February 12, at 11:45 a.m. ET on NASA’s official Twitch channel. The event will feature flight engineer Don Pettit, currently in space as part of the Expedition 72 launch which began on September 23, 2024, and ends in Spring 2025. He’ll be joined by NASA astronaut Matt Dominick, who returned to Earth in October 2024 after conducting scientific research for 232 days aboard the ISS.
The NASA astronauts will answer questions about daily life up in orbit, as well as the research conducted in microgravity. They will also talk about how ordinary citizens can get involved with NASA, including via citizen science projects and programs across the STEM field.
“This Twitch event from space is the first of many,” says Brittany Brown, director of NASA’s communications office. “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. Twitch is one of the many digital platforms we use to reach new audiences and get them excited about all things space.”
The agency has previously streamed spacewalks and liftoffs on Twitch and its own NASA+ streaming platform, with Earthbound viewers following along. But this will be the first stream where those in the chat have a chance to send their questions up into space. No pressure.
