President Donald Trump will receive a briefing from officials who work for Nasa, the government agency that deals with space, at the White House later today.
The officials will talk about their response to Covid-19.
Space exploration has already led to important developments on earth: satellites make it easier to issue hurricane warnings, for example.
These days, the Nasa scientists are helping to fight the virus. They have designed a new ventilator, a prototype that has been tested in New York.
In addition, astronauts have shared tips for dealing with isolation. One space explorer said he drew a calendar to help him keep track of the days.
He posted images of notes and graffiti that other astronauts wrote on spacecraft walls, showing how they passed the time (at home, it’s probably better to use washable markers…)
