United States Air Force Colonel and NASA astronaut Terry Virts is living on the International Space Station performing research to help benefit us on Earth. He is also expected to conduct two spacewalks within the next few months of his mission. He is scheduled to return to Earth this May. Prior to his current mission, Virts was the pilot of Space Shuttle Mission STS-130, which delivered the stations final permanent modules: Tranquility and Cupola. Tranquility is now the life-support hub of the space station, containing exercise, water, recycling and environmental control systems, while the Cupola provides the largest set of windows ever flown in space.
