Space Station Live: Marshall's Contributions to Station Hardware

While the team at the Payload Operations Integration Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center makes science happen every day aboard the International Space Station, Marshall also played a key role in some of the station's major hardware components. NASA Public Affairs Officer Lori Meggs talks with some of the folks who helped make that hardware happen.

Brian Mitchell, who was the element project manager for Node 1, discusses development and construction of this crucial station component at Marshall. Also known as the Unity node, Node 1 was the first U.S. piece of the station.

Mike Cole, Deputy Manager for the ISS Office at Marshall, discusses the station's science hardware. Cole was the project manager when the Microgravity Science Glovebox, one of the dedicated science facilities inside the Destiny laboratory, was delivered to the station.
