A travel bug has been activated by a 5th grade class of the Chase Elementary School in Waterbury,CT. Astronaut Rick Mastracchio visited Chase Elementary School and is going to deliver the TB to the International Space Station for them. Mastracchio will be using the Travel Bug as an educational tool to help teach students around the world about geography and provide other educational lessons. The mission is currently scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan at 4:08 GMT on November 7, That means the launch is planned to liftoff at 5:08 a.m. November 6 which is 11:08 p.m. local time. Rick Mastracchio graduated from the Waterbury Public School System. Follow Mastracchio along on his journey by adding Travel Bug TB5JJN1 to your watchlist or by following him on twitter @AstroRM.
