More than 14,700 people are paid to the communication network. Besides the American astronaut on board the ISS crew has Jeff Williams, Russians Oleg Kotov and Maxim Surajev and Japanese Soichi Noguchi.

The crew of the International Space Station can now use a laptop on board to reach a desktop computer system at Mission Control, surfing the web accordingly. This remote access to the internet is possible when there is a strong and rapid signal communication.

The acess to twitter and internet is expected to raise the moral achievement of the crew, “The astronauts that last a long time in space spend months away from family and friends. It is a unique state of isolation,” said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries. ”We hope that this improves morale and productivity.”

Expedition 22 Flight Engineer T.J. Creamer made first use of the new system early morning on Jan, 22, 2010, when he posted the first single-handed update to his Twitter account, @Astro_TJ, from the space station. Tweets from space, previously had to be e-mailed to the ground where support personnel posted them to the astronaut’s Twitter account.

The personal Web access, named the Crew Support LAN, capitalizes of existing communication links to and from the station and gives astronauts the aptitude to browse and use the Web. Direct private communications will provide astronauts to enhance their quality of life during long-duration missions by aiding to ease the seclusion associated with life in a closed environment.

As per the site of NASA,  “During periods when the station is actively communicating with the ground using high-speed Ku-band communications, the crew will have remote access to the Internet via a ground computer. The crew will view the desktop of the ground computer using an onboard laptop and interact remotely with their keyboard touchpad.”
