After arriving onsite, we were taken into a media building for the “What’s On Board” mission briefing for SpaceX CRS-17. This mission briefing is televised on NASA TV. Our #NASASocial group were the media members of the audience.
We were given a short overview of all the experiments and science going up on this mission prior to the televised briefing. Our host was broadcaster Derrick Matthews and he moderated the mission briefing.
