Российских космонавтов не позвали для тестов мяча ЧМ-2026 на МКС

"А футболисты - до лучших дней."(с)

Было бы странно, привлекать космонавтов к пропаганде  чемпионата, проходящем без российских пинателей мяча. 

Может у космонавтов собственная гордость взыграла, кто ж знает...

Стоит отметить, что российских космонавтов не позвали для тестов. На МКС присутствуют представители «Роскосмоса» Сергей Кудь-Сверчков, Мергей Микаев и Андрей Федяев.

а у них своя научная программа и свой рекламный бюджет.
Это Дракон приводнился на днях, и мяч на бал?

Crew Starts Week with Bioengineering, Space Manufacturing, and Spacewalk Preps

полный текст на английском

Bioengineering cartilage tissues and manufacturing advanced materials kicked off the week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 74 crew members also ramped up preparations for a spacewalk and conducted vision tests on Monday.

NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir split her day working on a pair of investigations — one focused on biotechnology and the other on space‑based manufacturing. She began her shift inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox, nourishing living cartilage cells. Scientists are studying how these cells grow larger in weightlessness, research that could guide new treatments for arthritis or sports injuries. Later, in the Harmony module, she photographed colloidal crystals — microscopic particles floating in liquid — to capture how they naturally arrange themselves into orderly 3D structures in microgravity. The results could help the design and development of next‑generation materials and technologies for both Earth and space industries.

In between the space science work, Meir joined NASA flight engineer Chris Williams and reviewed plans for a spacewalk to repair a wrist joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm scheduled for June 30. The duo examined spacewalking tools and spacesuits, studied emergency procedures, and more in the Quest airlock. Williams then configured Quest and staged a spacesuit inside the airlock for the upcoming spacewalk.

NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway worked on spacesuit maintenance inside Quest, filling water tanks and cleaning a water-cooling system that keeps the suit's temperature stable during a spacewalk. Flight engineer Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) briefly inspected another spacesuit preparing it for a fit check then readied two cameras and their thermal shields for spacewalk photography duties. NASA will soon announce the two spacewalking astronauts and provide a live televised briefing with more details this week.

Vision tests were on the schedule on Monday as Williams took turns with cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev reading characters off a standard eye chart inside the Destiny laboratory module. Kud-Sverchkov, the station's commander, then photographed and inspected docking components on the Rassvet and Poisk modules. Mikaev partnered with flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev, both Roscosmos flight engineers, for more testing of artificial intelligence tools to boost crew efficiency and communications in space.

NASA Announces Spacewalkers for Robotic Arm Repair Work

полный текст на английском

Spacewalk preparations filled the schedule aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday as a pair of astronauts gear up for next week's external robotics repair job. CubeSat maintenance and eye checks rounded out the day for the Expedition 74 crew.

NASA flight engineers Chris Williams and Jessica Meir will once again wear their spacesuits and work together in the vacuum of space to repair a wrist joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm starting at 7:35 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 30. The duo will spend about six hours and 40 minutes on the outside of the orbital lab replacing the malfunctioned wrist joint on Canadarm2 that has been in operation for over 25 years. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) analyzed the issue and determined a spacewalk was necessary to replace the wrist joint with a spare already on the station. NASA and CSA officials will preview the upcoming spacewalk tasks during a news conference on NASA's YouTube channel at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 25.

Williams tried on his spacesuit Tuesday and tested the suit in its powered configuration with assistance from flight engineer Sophie Adenot from ESA (European Space Agency). The duo worked inside the Quest airlock checking the pressurized suit's comfort and mobility and its communications and life support systems while engineers on the ground monitored.

Williams then joined Meir and reviewed on a computer a 3D interactive animation of the procedures and maneuvers they will use to return the Canadarm2 to full motion. Afterward, the pair took turns servicing emergency jet packs that will be installed on the spacesuits the day the spacewalk begins. Meir also installed batteries inside the pistol grip tools — designed especially for microgravity — they will use to work on the robotic arm.

Adenot and NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway, who will monitor the spacewalkers from inside the orbital outpost, studied their spacewalk support roles including carefully adjusting the Canadarm2 into position during the repair work. Hathaway also had time for CubeSat work first removing a small satellite orbital deployer that was stowed inside the Kibo laboratory module's airlock. Next, he installed a set of CubeSats inside the NanoRacks CubeSat deployer that will soon be placed outside Kibo's airlock for deployment into Earth orbit. The tiny satellites were designed by university students for a variety of communications and technology investigations.

Station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov joined flight engineer Sergei Mikaev in the Harmony module for eye checks using standard medical imaging hardware. Doctors on the ground were examining how living in space affects the retina, lens, and cornea. Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev continued testing artificial intelligence tools to boost crew efficiency and communications in space.

The Expedition 74 crew members continued their spacewalk preparations on Wednesday reviewing robotics activities and configuring tools. The orbital residents also kept up their ongoing biomedical research and advanced technology studies aboard the International Space Station.

NASA flight engineers Chris Williams and Jessica Meir continue gearing up for their second spacewalk together set to begin at 8:35 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 30. The duo joined each other inside the Quest airlock and inspected the tethers that will secure the spacewalkers to the outside of the orbital outpost. They also collected and organized the equipment they will carry with them into the vacuum of space including pistol grip tools, cameras, stowage bags, and more. Williams and Meir will spend about six hours and 40 minutes next week replacing a malfunctioned wrist joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) officials will preview the upcoming spacewalk tasks during a news conference on NASA's YouTube channel at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 25.

Williams and Meir also gathered with flight engineers Jack Hathaway of NASA and Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) and called down to mission controllers in Houston, Texas, to talk about the upcoming spacewalk procedures. Afterward, the quartet practiced on a computer the delicate robotic maneuvers required to access and replace the wrist joint on the Canadarm2. Hathaway and Adenot will support the two spacewalkers next week helping them in and out of their spacesuits, monitoring their spacewalking activities, and carefully adjusting the Canadarm2 into position during the repair work.

Eye exams were the final task of the day for Meir as she operated medical imaging hardware inside the Harmony module and examined Williams' retina, lens, and cornea to check his eye health. Hathaway loaded a CubeSat-packed deployer onto a platform inside the Kibo laboratory module for placement outside of the space station. Adenot wrapped up her shift testing the network connectivity of a computer tablet inside the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft.

Cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, the station's commander and flight engineer from Roscosmos, also conducted eye checks, this time using the Ultrasound 3 device inside the Columbus laboratory module. Doctors on the ground monitored the ultrasound scans in real time to detect potential space-caused changes to eye pressure and structure. The duo then took turns testing artificial intelligence tools to boost crew efficiency and communications in space. Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev focused on studying how living in space affects the human body throughout Wednesday.

Fedyaev kicked off his shift placing sensors on his chest to measure his heart's electrical activity. Next, he attached cuffs to his arm, wrist, and fingers measuring his blood pressure. Doctors are exploring how the circulatory system adjusts in microgravity since the human heart doesn't pump blood as hard as it does on Earth. Finally, the two-time space lab resident wore an acoustic sensor around his neck that recorded his rapid exhalation for insights into his respiratory health.

Космонавты Сергей Куд-Сверчков и Сергей Микаев, командир станции и бортинженер из Роскосмоса, также провели проверку зрения, на этот раз с помощью устройства УЗИ 3 внутри лабораторного модуля Колумбуса. Врачи на местах отслеживали ультразвуковые снимки в реальном времени, чтобы обнаружить возможные изменения давления и структуры глаз, вызванные пространством. Затем дуэт по очереди тестировал инструменты искусственного интеллекта для повышения эффективности экипажа и повышения связи в космосе. Бортинженер Роскосмоса Андрей Федяев сосредоточился на изучении того, как жизнь в космосе влияет на человеческий организм в течение среды.

Федяев начал смену, установив датчики на груди для измерения электрической активности сердца. Затем он прикрепил наручники к руке, запястью и пальцам, измеряя давление. Врачи изучают, как кровеносная система адаптируется в условиях микрогравитации, поскольку человеческое сердце не качает кровь так интенсивно, как на Земле. Наконец, двукратный резидент космической лаборатории носил акустический датчик на шее, который записывал его быстрый выдох для понимания его дыхательного состояния.

[color=rgba(6, 6, 15, 0.87)]Cold Atom Lab — прибор размером с небольшой холодильник, управляемый с Земли — охлаждает атомы рубидия и калия до температуры ниже минус 273°C, то есть практически до абсолютного нуля. При таких условиях атомы переходят в особое состояние — конденсат Бозе — Эйнштейна, пятое агрегатное состояние вещества (помимо твёрдого, жидкого, газообразного и плазмы). В конденсате все атомы ведут себя как единая квантовая волна.[/color]
