NASA Public Affairs Officer Josh Byerly interviews Chris Edelen, Expedition 34 Lead Flight Director, at Johnson Space Center's Mission Control Center. Edelen has overseen the research and utilization aboard the International Space Station during the Expedition 34 increment.

With the assembly stage of the station complete, crews can now focus on science and exploration providing benefits back on Earth. The six-member Expedition 34 crew is on track to set a record for the amount of research conducted aboard the orbital laboratory. A total of 166 experiments have been conducted during Expedition 34.

Two different experiments taking place during Expedition 34 include a materials science study and a life sciences study. The Coarsening of Solids and Liquid Mixtures study will help identify processes to build smarter and stronger materials. The Medaka study used fish as model to observe how vertebrates adapt to microgravity.
