Space to Ground: Tracking a Trend: NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station.

NASA Stennis recently completed a critical infrastructure project to refurbish the gates of the center’s waterway lock system. The project involved installed temporary stop logs, removing the existing gates for offsite refurbishment, and reinstalling the gates to restore the lock system to full operational status. The lock system – built in the 1960s – provides valuable waterway access to the site for transport of equipment and large test articles and also helps maintain the function of the seven-and-a-half-mile canal system connecting all of the large test stands on site.

Science gets scaled up with the first 8K ultra high definition (UHD) video from the International Space Station.
