U.S. Navy Commander Reid Wiseman was a flight engineer on Expedition 41 which launched from Kazakhstan on May 28, 2014, onboard Soyuz 39. After more than five months in space, Wiseman returned to Earth on November 9, 2014.

While aboard the space station, Wiseman conducted in two spacewalks. During the first spacewalk, Wiseman and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst permanently stowed a failed cooling pump module and installed the Mobile Transport Relay Assembly that provides power to the Mobile Transporter when moving between worksites. For the second spacewalk,
Wiseman and Gerst replaced a failed power regulator and prepped the station for a reconfiguration that will allow the station to accommodate future commercial crew vehicles. Inside the space station, Wiseman and the Expedition 41 crew spent hundreds of hours conducting research in the areas of human physiology, medicine, physical science, Earth science and astrophysics experiments.

Wiseman gained addition notoriety through his activities on social media. During his 165 days in space, Wiseman fostered a strong social media following by sharing remarkable photos, personal posts and short videos about life on the International Space Station.

This talk was hosted by Boris Debic.
