It includes the voices of such NASA astronauts as Scott Kelly, Jeanette Epps and Yvonne Cagle.

“The Space Station Situation” was also shown during a private screening event at the official visitor center for the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston. The episode is slated for linear broadcast on Disney Junior at 5:30 p.m. on May 7.
