Aerospace engineering alum Clay Anderson has passed the mid-point of his assignment onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Anderson writes about his experiences living and working 220 nautical miles above the Earth in his in-flight journal. Anderson and his Expedition 15 crewmates will spend the next six weeks preparing for the installation of the Harmony module on the ISS. The space shuttle Discovery will deliver the new module at the end of October.
