NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano competed the third of four planned spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle physics experiment at the International Space Station.
Read MoreWith the first spacewalk to repair an important particle physics experiment at the International Space Station completed, preparations for the second are well underway.
Read MoreOver the next month, astronauts aboard the International Space Station will work to fix an important particle physics experiment during a series of spacewalks said to be the most challenging since the Hubble servicing missions.
Read MoreOrbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
