Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 43 Flight Engineers Scott Kelly of NASA and Mikhail Kornienko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) discussed the early weeks of their year-long mission during a pair of interviews April 29 with the Associated Press and the Westwood One Radio Network. Kelly and Kornienko are wrapping up the first month of a planned year-long mission on the station to gather valuable data on the effect of long duration exposure to weightlessness for the future planning of human missions to Mars. Kelly and Kornienko are scheduled to return to Earth in March 2016.
