Summary
| Description |
English: International Space Station Expedition 27 flight engineer, astronaut Catherine "Cady" Coleman, on Saint Patrick's Day (March 17) 2011 in the cupola in the space station. She is showing a traditional Irish flute and a tin whistle she brought to the station in her small allotment of personal items.
Coleman has Irish ancestry on both sides of her family and she played the two instruments illustrated during an international broadcast from earth orbit to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. Coleman brought her own flute into space, another belonging to Ian Anderson of the rock music group Jethro Tull, and the two instruments shown, belonging to the Irish music group, The Chieftains. The larger instrument in the picture is a hundred-year-old flute belonging to Matt Molloy, and the smaller tin whistle or penny whistle belongs to Paddy Maloney. The recording of Coleman's Saint Patrick's Day performance on NASA TV was later included in a track called "The Chieftains In Orbit" on their 2012 album, Voice of Ages. |
