The MIT Aero-Astro Department is keeping astronaut Greg Chamitoff PhD '92 company during his six-month stay aboard the International Space Station. In this recent photo, Chamitoff is holding a picture of department students, staff and faculty taken last fall in response to his request for an MIT memento that he could carry with him when he launched in May. Now, more than 200 Aero-Astrians can say that they have "flown aboard the ISS." Chamitoff noted that taking photos from space lets him "zoom in and see the building that I lived in on campus at MIT for many years -- Tang Hall." Photo / NASA
