Long Distance Call

Being far from home can feel lonely at times, but on Aug. 21, Astronaut Timothy Kopra had the opportunity to talk with his sister, Lauri Kopra and her husband, Aaron Mashoian. The video downlink was provided by NASA's Ames Research Center. Kopra is the Expedition 20 flight engineer on the International Space Station and is scheduled to return with STS-128 in early September.
