Yamaha PSR Goes Where No Portable Keyboard Has Gone Before
BUENA PARK, CA (July 18, 2003) When NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavor Flight UF-1/STS108 delivered a crew of seven from Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station on November 29, 2001, Flight Engineer Carl Walz a music enthusiast and keyboard player made sure that a Yamaha portable keyboard accompanied the astronauts to be used for fun and entertainment on the space station.

The PSR282 keyboard currently has a prominent place onboard the International Space Station and serves as an ideal outlet for the crews of visiting astronauts, providing a much-needed break from spacewalks, construction projects and experiments, as seen in a recent video clip.
Although the PSR282 has been superceded by the PSR292, both models share the feel and sound of an acoustic piano with full-sized, touch-sensitive keys, a stereo-sampled piano voice and dynamic filtering-technology usually reserved for high-end professional units. Playing piano is fast and easy with the Yamaha Portable Grand function, as one dedicated piano-shaped button sets up the keyboard to play as a piano in full keyboard mode.
