A2011M E S S A G EF R O MT H EP R O G R A MM A N A G E RThe International Space Station (ISS) is one of the greatest technological, geopolitical and engineering accomplishments in humanhistory. The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientificresearch, technology development, exploration and education.As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other governmentagencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone workingtogether, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth.This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historicalevents with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrateeach and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy thecalendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year.Regards,MICHAEL T. S U F F REDINIISS Program Manager

Sleeping,eating and exercising are just as critical in space as they are on Earth, but all have to be doneGrey Glacierin an almost weightlessenvironment. Astronauts have to strap in to sleep and/or take a jog.They also have to remember to attach their food to something when they are not holding itso it doesn’t float away. While living in space takes a bit of adjusting, working to help improvelife on Earth makes it all worthwhile.45Spring Begins2014118MM2001 – STS-102/5A.1, first MPLMflight and ESP-1; ISS Expedition 2,first crew rotation7 6158 71996 – Mars GlobalSurveyor2009 – STS-119/15A, S6 trussand solar arrays14 132115 14221969 – Apollo 122008 – STS-126 Supply21 202728282722 11618 172329281964 – Mariner 4–Mars2006 – ISS Expedition 131983 – STS-9.
