HOUSTON -- NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston will host a crew

Karen Nyberg of NASA, Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and 
Fyodor Yurchikhin of the Russian Federal Space Agency will discuss 
their Expedition 36-37 mission. The trio is set to launch to the 
station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft May 28 and return to Earth in 
mid-November. Social media followers, who will be at Johnson for a 
NASA Social focusing on scientific research aboard the space station, 
will participate in the briefing and ask questions of the crew.

Nyberg, Parmitano and Yurchikhin are three of the six crew members 
comprising Expeditions 36 and 37. When they arrive at the station, 
they will join NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts 
Pavel Vinogradov and Alexsandr Misurkin.
