participants will “race” the International Space Station (ISS) as it completes one Earth
orbit—91 minutes & 12 seconds. Marshall Space Flight Center will track the starting
location of the ISS at the race start time and see who “beats” the Space Station by
completing the event before the 91-minute & 12-second mark.
