Posted May 26, 2020 at 11:41 am


The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard is seen on the launch pad in Florida during a brief static fire test on Friday, May 22, 2020.

The Expedition 63 crew is getting ready for the launch and arrival this week of two NASA astronauts from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade. This follows Monday morning's arrival of a Japanese cargo craft that delivered over four tons of food, supplies and experiments to the International Space Station.

NASA and SpaceX managers completed their readiness reviews and have given the "go" for the launch of Commercial Crew astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. The duo will liftoff atop the Falcon 9 rocket on Wednesday at 4:33 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center in Florida toward the station.

They will dock on Thursday at 11:39 a.m. to the Harmony module's International Docking Adapter on the space station's forward section. Two-and-a-half hours later the hatches will open, Behnken and Hurley will enter the station and the Expedition 63 crew will expand to five members to bring space research up to full speed aboard the orbiting lab.

The Crew Dragon will be docked adjacent to the newly-arrived H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 (HTV-9) from Japan. The HTV-9 was installed to the Harmony module's Earth-facing port a couple of hours after it was captured Monday at 8:13 a.m. with the Canadarm2 robotic arm. NASA Commander Chris Cassidy began unloading the HTV-9 with help from Roscosmos Flight Engineer Ivan Vagner shortly after its arrival on Memorial Day.

The final mission of Japan's expendable resupply ship will stay at the station until late July. Japan's next version of resupply ships (HTV-X) will be returnable and reusable providing more cargo capabilities.

Veteran cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin swapped out more fuel bottles inside the Combustion Integrated Rack to maintain research operations inside the U.S. Destiny laboratory module. The refrigerator-sized research rack enables fuel, flame and soot research in microgravity.

Expedition 63 Waits for Weekend Arrival of SpaceX Crew

Mark Garcia
Posted May 28, 2020 at 12:56


The sun's rays glisten in this photograph from an external high definition camera as the International Space Station orbited over the Atlantic Ocean southwest of South Africa.

The Expedition 63 crew will wait a few more days to gain two new crewmembers after weather scrubbed the initial launch attempt of the SpaceX Crew Dragon. Meanwhile, the orbiting trio aboard the International Space Station continued focusing on lab operations.

Rain and lightning around Kennedy Space Center kept Commercial Crew members Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken on the ground Wednesday. The Florida weather violated launch rules and SpaceX scrubbed the liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket with the two NASA astronauts atop sitting inside the Crew Dragon vehicle.

NASA has rescheduled the Crew Dragon launch for Saturday at 3:22 p.m. EDT with a backup launch date on Sunday at 3 p.m. If Hurley and Behnken launch Saturday, they would dock Sunday at 10:29 a.m. to the Harmony module's International Docking Adapter.

Back on orbit, NASA Commander Chris Cassidy was setting up Japanese network communications gear and science hardware during the morning. Afterward, the veteran astronaut spent the rest of Thursday exploring how planetary bodies might affect the density and dynamics of different materials.

The Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner started the day transferring cargo to and from the Soyuz crew ship and the two Progress space freighters. The duo then turned its attention to videotaping and photographing their station activities for an Earth audience.

ИЗМИРАН опробует на МКС прибор для измерения магнитных полей Солнца
Ученые впервые в России создадут магнитограф, способный наблюдать магнитные поля на Солнце

МОСКВА, 30 мая. /ТАСС/. Институт земного магнетизма, ионосферы и распространения радиоволн РАН им. Н. В. Пушкова (ИЗМИРАН) впервые в России создаст космический прибор "Тахомаг" для измерения магнитных полей Солнца, который будет опробован на МКС. Об этом сообщил ТАСС директор ИЗМИРАН Владимир Кузнецов.

"Мы решили сделать апробацию этого прибора на Международной космической станции, прежде чем посылать этот прибор в дальний космос", - сказал Кузнецов.

По словам ученого, это магнитограф, способный наблюдать магнитные поля на Солнце, которые играют ключевую роль во всей его активности - генерации солнечных вспышек, выбросов массы и так далее. "Это сложный прибор, который никогда не создавался в России, а за границей на космических аппаратах он применялся очень редко", - рассказал директор института.

Во время эксперимента с "Тахомагом" на МКС будут отработаны технологии, опробованы ключевые элементы, чтобы "сделать совершенный прибор для космического аппарата "Интергелиозонд", пояснил Кузнецов. Сейчас, добавил ученый, контракт подписан, идет разработка.

Проект "Интергелиозонд" разрабатывается в рамках Федеральной космической программы. В его задачи входит исследование Солнца с близких расстояний и внутренней гелиосферы, определение механизмов нагрева солнечной короны и ускорения солнечного ветра, наблюдение за солнечной атмосферой и короной в полярных и экваториальных областях. Для космического аппарата уже определили основные элементы, в том числе по научной аппаратуре. Однако сейчас работы по проекту приостановлены на этапе корректировки данных эскизного проекта.
