NASA astronauts Chris Cassidy and Bob Behnken completed their fourth spacewalk in less than a month to upgrade the International Space Station, setting the stage for future additions to the 20-year-old outpost.
Read MoreOne of the main reasons the Demo-2 crew — NASA’s Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken — is staying aboard the International Space Station for so long is so they can help the Expedition 63 crew, commanded by NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, with various tasks aboard the outpost, including the final test of battery upgrades on the external truss.
Read MoreOrbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
