С МКС запустили девять малых спутников

Москва. 25 мая. INTERFAX.RU - Астронавты на Международной космической станции (МКС) в четверг запустили девять малых спутников, сообщил "Интерфаксу" источник в ракетно-космической отрасли.

"Запущено девять малых спутников, старт которых был отложен в начале недели", - сказал собеседник агентства.

В пятницу, как ожидается, будут запущены еще восемь малых спутников.

Спутники запускаются по командам с Земли. Предварительно астронавты на МКС устанавливают контейнеры со спутниками, затем платформа с контейнерами выносится через шлюзовую камеру и при помощи дистанционного манипулятора переведется в положение для запуска.

Запуск малых спутников с борта МКС ранее был запланирован на 22 мая, но был отложен из-за проблем с внешним компьютером на американском сегменте станцию.

"Вечером в субботу вышел из строя один из двух компьютеров снаружи американского сегмента МКС - "MDM-1" на секции "S0". В этой связи график работ будет сдвинут. В том числе отложен запуск с помощью японского манипулятора и американской пусковой системы 20-25 малых спутников, запланированный на 23-25 мая", - сказал источник.

Ранее сообщалось, что астронавты летом этого года могут запустить с борта МКС еще около 20 малых спутников. На минувшей недели с борта МКС было запущено 17 таких спутников.

Dragon Training and Body Measurements on Station Today

Posted on May 25, 2017 at 4:10 pm by Mark Garcia.

The Expedition 51 crew trained today for the next SpaceX Dragon mission due early next month. The five crew members also explored how microgravity affects their bodies to help scientists keep astronauts healthy in space.

The next Dragon mission, SpaceX CRS-11, is scheduled to launch June 1 to deliver new space science gear to the International Space Station. The commercial cargo craft will arrive three days later to begin its stay attached to the Harmony module for cargo operations.

NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer trained today to familiarize themselves with the robotic procedures during Dragon's rendezvous and approach. Fischer, with Whitson's assistance, will command the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple Dragon when it reaches a point 10 meters away from the station. Ground controllers will then take over and remotely install Dragon to Harmony with the Canadarm2.

The crew began its day taking body size measurements studying how an astronaut's shape changes during a spaceflight. Observations may result in new designs for space clothing and spacecraft work areas to improve mission effectiveness.

CubeSats Deployed Before Upcoming Crew and Cargo Missions

Posted on May 26, 2017 at 11:48 am by Mark Garcia.


A trio of CubeSats, with Earth's limb and thin atmosphere in the background, is seen shortly after being ejected from a small satellite deployer outside Japan's Kibo lab module.

More CubeSats were ejected from the International Space Station this week to explore the Earth's upper atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Expedition 51 crew trained for a crew departure and cargo craft arrival.

NanoRacks, a private company with facilities on the space station, deployed a total of 17 CubeSats over two days this week from a satellite deployer outside the Japanese Kibo lab module. The tiny satellites will orbit Earth for up to two years observing Earth's thermosphere and studying space weather.

Two Expedition 51 crew members are returning to Earth June 2 completing a 196 day mission in space. Soyuz Commander Oleg Novitskiy and Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet practiced their descent today in their Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft. The duo are expected to land in Kazakhstan next Friday at 10:10 a.m. EDT.

The Dragon resupply ship, from SpaceX and loaded with brand new science experiments, will launch June 1 and arrive at the station June 4. NASA astronaut Jack Fischer will be at the robotics controls commanding the Canadarm2 to reach out and grapple Dragon. He and station Commander Peggy Whitson familiarized themselves today with the Dragon capture procedures and lighting conditions inside the cupola.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL. (May 26, 2017) – The SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle is slated to launch its 11thcargo resupply mission (CRS-11) to the International Space Station (ISS) no earlier than June 1, 2017 fr om Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A. Onboard the Falcon 9 launch vehicle is the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which will carry more than 40 ISS U.S. National Laboratory sponsored experiments. This mission will showcase the breadth of research possible through the ISS National Laboratory, as experiments range from the life and physical sciences, Earth observation and remote sensing, and a variety of student-led investigations. Below highlights the investigations as part of the SpaceX CRS-11 mission:
 
ADVANCED COLLOIDS EXPERIMENT-TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED-6 (ACE-T-6)

Спойлер

Matthew Lynch, Procter & Gamble (West Chester, OH)
Implementation Partner: NASA Glenn Research Center and Zin Technologies, Inc.

Colloids are suspensions of microscopic particles in a liquid, and they are found in products ranging from milk to fabric softener. Consumer products often use colloidal gels to distribute specialized ingredients, for instance droplets that soften fabrics, but the gels must serve two opposite purposes: they have to disperse the active ingredient so it can work, yet maintain an even distribution so the product does not spoil. Advanced Colloids Experiment-Temperature-6 (ACE-T-6) studies the microscopic behavior of colloids in gels and creams, providing new insight into fundamental interactions that can improve product shelf life.

FUNCTIONAL EFFECTS OF SPACEFLIGHT ON CARDIOVASCULAR STEM CELLS (CARDIAC STEM CELLS)

Спойлер

Dr. Mary Kearns-Jonker, Loma Linda University (Loma Linda, CA)
Implementation Partner: BioServe Space Technologies

Functional Effects of Spaceflight on Cardiovascular Stem Cells (Cardiac Stem Cells) investigates how microgravity alters stem cells and the factors that govern stem cell activity, including physical and molecular changes. Spaceflight is known to affect cardiac function and structure, but the biological basis for this is not clearly understood. This investigation helps clarify the role of stem cells in cardiac biology and tissue regeneration. In addition, this research could confirm the hypothesis that microgravity accelerates the aging process.

Tomohiro Ichikawa, Lagrange Corp. (Tokyo, Japan)
Implementation Partner: NanoRacks

Spaceflight affects organisms in a wide range of ways, from a reduction in human bone density to changes in plant root growth. NanoRacks-JAMSS-2 Lagrange-1 helps students understand potential spaceflight-related changes by exposing plant seeds to microgravity, and then germinating and growing them on Earth. The plants are compared with specimens grown from seeds that remained on the ground. The investigation also connects students to the space program by sending their photographic likenesses and personal messages into orbit. This connection inspires the next generation of scientists and engineers who will work on international space programs.

NEUTRON CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF HUMAN ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE FOR THE DESIGN OF ACCERERATED REACTIVATORS (ORNL-PCG)

Спойлер

Dr. Andrey Kovalevsky, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN)
Implementation Partner: CASIS

The investigative team is trying to improve our understanding of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for normal communication between nerve cells and between nerve and muscle cells. As a target of deadly neurotoxins produced by animals as venom or by man as nerve agents and pesticides, understanding the structure of acetylcholinesterase is critical to designing better antidotes to poisoning by chemicals that attack the nervous system. The Oak Ridge National Lab team plans to use the microgravity environment of space to grow large crystals of the enzyme that will be imaged back on Earth using a powerful imaging approach called neutron diffraction. Neutron diffraction yields very detailed structural information but requires much larger crystals than traditional x-ray diffraction imaging methods. The investigators hypothesize that structural images of space-grown crystals will bring us closer to more effective and less toxic antidotes for neurotoxins that bind and inhibit acetylcholinesterase.

SYSTEMIC THERAPY OF NELL-1 FOR OSTEOPOROSIS (RODENT RESEARCH-5)

Спойлер

Dr. Chia Soo, University of California at Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA)
Implementation Partner: NASA Ames Research Center and BioServe Space Technologies

Astronauts living in space for extended durations experience bone density loss, or osteoporosis. Currently, countermeasures include daily exercise designed to prevent bone loss from rapid bone density loss deterioration. However, in space and on Earth, therapies for osteoporosis cannot restore bone that is already lost. The Systemic Therapy of NELL-1 for Osteoporosis (Rodent Research-5) investigation tests a new drug on rodents that can both rebuild bone and block further bone loss, improving health for crew members in orbit and people on Earth. Dr. Soo's laboratory has been funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases within the National Institutes of Health. This experiment builds on those previous research investigations.
