Robinson Astronaut: Kjell Lindgren

Astronaut Kjell Lindgren, on board the International Space Station, talks with friends, staff and students from his alma mater, Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, Virginia. Dr. Lindgren, a graduate of Robinson’s Class of 1991, answers questions from students about life on the space station, the science of space flight, and achieving his goal of becoming an astronaut.

He remained on ISS as a member of Expedition 45. Hosted by Robinson teacher, Bryan Hazard, this program presents a history of the International Space Station, the experiments performed there, and the lessons we learn from space. Dr. Lindgren and other Expedition 45 crew members returned home on December 11, 2015.
