NASA TV Coverage Set for Next Resupply Mission to Space Station

NASA commercial cargo provider Orbital ATK is scheduled to launch its ninth contracted mission to the International Space Station at 5:04 a.m. EDT Sunday, May 20 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Live launch coverage will begin at 4:30 a.m. on NASA Television and the agency's website.

NASA TV also will air two prelaunch briefings beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 19. Mission managers will provide an overview and status of launch operations, and at 1 p.m. scientists and researchers will discuss some of the investigations to be delivered to the station. The briefings also will be streamed live on the agency's website.

Orbital ATK's Cygnus cargo spacecraft will launch on the company's Antares rocket from Pad 0A of Virginia Space's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, located at Wallops. Coverage of the spacecraft's solar array deployment will begin at 6:15 a.m. and a post-launch briefing from the launch site will follow at 7:30 a.m.
Спойлер
Under the agency's Commercial Resupply Services contract, Cygnus will carry about 7,400 pounds of science and research to the space station in support of dozens of research investigations, as well as crew supplies and hardware.

Cygnus will carry a physics laboratory to observe atoms in extreme cold and a facility that will be the first commercial European opportunity to conduct research in space. Other experiments will advance genetic sequencing of micro-organisms aboard the station and validate a system to extract one liquid from another. The spacecraft will also transport several CubeSats to conduct a variety of missions, from Earth science missions and a technology demonstration for laser communications, to mapping a gas surrounding our Milky Way galaxy.
[свернуть]
With a May 20 launch, the spacecraft will arrive at the station on Thursday, May 24. NASA TV coverage of Cygnus' rendezvous and capture will begin at 3:45 a.m. Capture is scheduled for 5:20 a.m. as Expedition 55 Flight Engineer Scott Tingle of NASA will grapple the spacecraft, backed up by Ricky Arnold of NASA. NASA astronaut Drew Feustel will monitor Cygnus systems during its approach for capture. They will use the space station's robotic Canadarm2 to take hold of the spacecraft and after Cygnus' capture, ground controllers will command the station's arm to rotate and install it on the bottom of the station's Unity module. NASA TV coverage resumes for installation operations at 7:30 a.m.

Cygnus will remain at the space station until July 15, when the spacecraft will depart the station, deploy NanoRacks' customer CubeSats, and then dispose of several tons of trash during its fiery reentry into Earth's atmosphere.

Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to launch its ninth contracted cargo resupply mission to the space station no earlier than May 20. Science and research delivered by the spacecraft includes a test of centuries-old sextant navigation and forward-thinking work advancing the orbiting lab's ability to support cutting-edge molecular research and its commercial capabilities. Also aboard will be the Cold Atom Lab (CAL), a facility to create a spot ten billion times colder than the vacuum of space, which could help answer some big questions in modern physics. The International Commercial Experiment, or ICE Cubes Service, tests and commissions the first European commercial system to increase access to this unique lab.

This project is the second of a two-part experiment that seeks to evaluate the involuntary cell contractions of aortic smooth muscle cells in a microgravity environment. This research could lead to a better understanding of the contractile mechanism that operates within these cells to control blood pressure, which could ultimately lead to novel treatments for high blood pressure. This payload will also be the first to fly with power inside the MERLIN refrigerator facility. Successful demonstration of this capability could significantly improve how cell culture research is maintained until reaching the ISS.

Spire (San Francisco, CA)

Tracking of oceangoing ships is of limited use. Information is gathered and delivered infrequently to those who need it, making it useful almost exclusively for historical understanding. Thus, it loses its value "in the moment" for real applications for both the public and private sectors, which is problematic given that 90% of global trade transits over the ocean. Spire's many small satellites provide close-to-real-time information from anywhere on Earth. In the maritime sector, these satellites increase safety and security across the planet's oceans (for example, search and rescue, piracy prevention, etc.). With results from this research, Spire will begin deployment of its full constellation of satellites to deliver near-real-time updates on maritime and weather data from anywhere on Earth.

Separation based on surface tension is thought to be a method independent of gravity; however, it has never been tested, and the physics of the process remain somewhat unclear. Exploring microgravity's effects on the process could improve understanding of the physics involved. Results fr om this investigation could allow Zaiput to further develop their system and potentially scale up the system to achieve flow rates suitable for chemical production.

Rob Garner
Posted May 17, 2018 at 10:29 am

The three-days-out launch range forecast has been issued for Orbital ATK's Antares rocket with Cygnus cargo spacecraft on the company's CRS-9 resupply mission to the International Space Station. There is a very slight chance of thick clouds over the region for the launch attempt, scheduled for 5:04 a.m. EDT on May 20 from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

The main weather concern for the launch attempt is sky screen. Low-level cloudiness (1,000-foot ceilings) is expected for the launch window on the morning of May 20.

A persistent wet and unsettled weather pattern will remain over the Wallops region through Saturday, providing numerous chances of showers and thunderstorms. A quasi-stationary frontal boundary will move north of the Wallops region Saturday as a warm front, while a final piece of upper level energy will move through the Wallops region Saturday morning and afternoon, with a chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms.

Weak upper level energy will move east of the Wallops Region Saturday night into Sunday morning in combination with a Bermuda high pressure system building into the Wallops region to end precipitation chances. However, there will be a slight chance of a lingering rain shower during the beginning of the count.

The new Cold Atom Lab (CAL) facility could help answer some big questions in modern physics. CAL produces clouds of atoms that are ten billion times colder than deep space. The facility uses lasers and magnetic forces to freeze the atoms until they are almost motionless. In the microgravity environment on the space station, it's possible to observe these ultra-cold atoms for much longer in than what's possible on the ground. The research done using CAL could potentially lead to a number of improved technologies, including sensors, quantum computers and atomic clocks used in spacecraft navigation.
