AUSTIN (KXAN) – Students at the Texas School for the Deaf received a much
\nanticipated message from astronauts in space Tuesday.<\/p>\n

While aboard the International Space Station , Astronaut Tracy Caldwell
\nDyson used sign language to respond to their questions. Dyson recorded
\nalmost an hour of video footage addressing their questions about life on the
\nISS.<\/p>\n

This project was suggested by Dyson as a way to inspire deaf and hard of
\nhearing students to learn more about space science, and encourage them to
\npursue space related careers. It was coordinated by Dr. David Coco, from the
\nEducational Resource Center on Deafness at TSD.<\/p>\n

Coco, who is deaf himself, is a former NASA intern who was also involved in
\nspace physics research at the University of Texas for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSD students are really excited about this opportunity to work with Tracy
\nand NASA,” said Coco. “It gives them great exposure to explore opportunities
\nin space science.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSD students are planning on creating a series of video science lessons
\nusing the footage provided by NASA. The first released clip from the project
\nshows Caldwell Dyson and the rest of the ISS crew signing a greeting along
\nwith a \u201cThank You\u201d from TSD students.<\/p>\n

NASA released the video footage to TSD after Expedition Crew 24, including
\nFlight Engineer Caldwell Dyson, wrapped up a six-month stay aboard the ISS
\nand returned to a safe landing in Kazakhstan on September 25. Additional
\nvideo segments on a variety of different science topics from the NASA\/TSD
\npartnership will be created and posted soon on the NASA website.<\/p>\n
