Part One

The first installment of A Year in Space, which tracks Scott Kelly’s mission from training and launch, through his 12 months aboard the International Space Station, right up through his descent and landing is scheduled to air on PBS on March 2, timed within a day of Scott’s planned return to Earth. 

Despite the technological “comforts” of the ISS, a year in space – the longest space mission in American history – has been described as the epitome of extreme, with extraordinarily high physical stakes. Following Scott in space and his identical twin Mark Kelly at home on Earth, the specials will tell the story of what it takes, mentally and physically, to spend a year in space and then, using what NASA has learned from the Kelly brothers, what it means for humanity as we journey to Mars and beyond. 

Part Two

On March 2nd, 2016, Scott Kelly returned to earth from the International Space Station after spending a record-breaking year in outer space. Now, scientists are studying Scott to answer the pressing questions: How did space change him? And how can we keep future astronauts safe on long journeys to deep space and beyond?

Jessica Meir & Victor Glover are among the latest class of astronauts, who may be the first people to travel beyond the moon and possibly to Mars. The astronauts of Class 21 will face a new set of challenges, completely different from the trials the Mercury 7 faced in the midst of the space race. Isolation on long-duration space flights, extreme amounts of radiation in deep space, and the unknown long-term effects of zero gravity on the human body; these are the unknown dangers facing space-bound humans.
