NASA provides live space talk 24/7

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says it now provides access to conversations between International Space Station astronauts and controllers on Earth 24 hours a day.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the live space talk is available daily under the NASA TV tab at www.nasa.gov.

"The streaming audio of space-to-ground communications includes NASA commentary during specific station mission events and regularly scheduled space station commentary on NASA Television Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. EDT," officials said.

NASA previously provided such space-to-ground communication with commentary during space shuttle missions.
