DRAGON RESUPPLY MISSION (CRS-15)

On Friday June 29, Falcon 9 successfully lifted for launch of its fifteenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-15) at 5:42:42 a.m. EDT, or 9:42:42 UTC, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Dragon separated from Falcon 9's second stage about nine minutes and thirty seconds after liftoff and is on its way to the International Space Station, currently expected to arrive early on the morning of July 2nd.

Both Falcon 9 and the Dragon spacecraft for the CRS-15 mission are flight-proven. Dragon will return to Earth with more than 4,000 pounds of cargo after a one-month stay at the ISS.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft was successfully launched on the Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Pad LC-40 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Dragon successfully launched on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 5:42 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The spacecraft's solar arrays have deployed. It will arrive at the International Space Station Monday morning carrying more than 5,900 pounds of research investigations and equipment, cargo and supplies that will support some of the hundreds of investigations aboard the orbiting laboratory.

A postlaunch press conference will take place at 8 a.m. on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Participants are:
    [/li]
  • Kirk Shireman, manager, International Space Station Program, Johnson Space Center
  • Jessica Jensen, director, Dragon Mission Management, SpaceX
NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel will use the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture Dragon when it arrives at the station. Live coverage of the rendezvous and capture will air on NASA Television and the agency's website beginning at 5:30 a.m. Monday, July 2. Installation coverage is set to begin at 9 a.m.

Research materials flying inside Dragon's pressurized cargo area include a cellular biology investigation (Micro-12) to understand how microgravity affects the growth, gene expression and ability of a model bacterium to transfer electrons through its cell membrane along the bacterial nanowires it produces. Such bacteria could be used in microbial fuel cells to make electricity from waste organic material.

An Earth science instrument called the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) will provide a new space-based measurement of how plants respond to changes in water availability. This data can help society better manage agricultural water use.

An observational pilot study with the Crew Interactive MObile companioN (CIMON) aims to provide first insights into the effects of crew support from an artificial intelligence (AI) in terms of efficiency and acceptance during long-term missions in space.

Among the hundreds of pounds of hardware flying to the space station is a spare Canadian-built Latching End Effector (LEE). Each end of the Canadarm2 robotic arm has an identical LEE, and they are used as the "hands" that grapple payloads and visiting cargo spaceships. They also enable Canadarm2 to "walk" to different locations on the orbiting outpost.

Umbilical Interface Assembly (UIA) Remove and Replace (R&R) Troubleshooting:
Спойлер
Yesterday the crew investigated if loosening the 20 fasteners securing the UIA to the Airlock mounting bracket would generate any free play and allow the crew to close the gap in the Oxygen Supply lines; unfortunately, the crew indicated the tolerances were too tight and this was not possible. Engineering specialists evaluated two plans overnight: connecting the Oxygen line as-is or installing a longer, spare supply line. In order to minimize loading on the UIA, teams determined the spare line should be installed instead of placing permanent tension on the current line. The crew has successfully replaced the old O2 supply line with the new, longer line and finished closeout and safing procedure. Ground specialists are currently conducting a 14-Hour gross O2 leak check to ensure the line was mated successfully.

Multi-Omics:
Спойлер
This morning the crew collected saliva samples and stowed them in a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI), completed a questionnaire, and ingested Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) sticks in support of JAXA's Multi-Omics investigation. This was the 25th day of the 28-day experiment. The objectives of Multi-Omics are to increase knowledge of the gut ecosystem of astronauts in the space environment (especially any immune dysfunction) and evaluation of the effect of FOS in their diet.
[свернуть]
Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES):
Спойлер
Today the crew set up and performed routine maintenance tests of the SPHERES satellites. The health of the SPHERES thrusters is assessed through a series of open and closed loop maneuvers. High speed Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data is recorded during thruster firings to estimate the force emitted by each thruster on each satellite. The motion of the satellites with and without additional peripherals attached to the satellites are characterized.
[свернуть]
Sextant Navigation:
Спойлер
Today the crew inspected and calibrated the sextant. Following data collection, the crew recorded the results. The Sextant Navigation investigation focuses on stability and star sighting opportunities in microgravity. Astronauts onboard the ISS test a hand-held sextant that is intended for use on future Orion exploration missions. The results fr om this investigation can aid in the development of emergency navigation methods for future manned spacecraft. Historically, Gemini missions in 1965-66 were the first to exercise sextant sightings from a spacecraft. A sextant was built into Apollo vehicles as a navigation backup in case of lost communications.
[свернуть]
MagVector 3D:
Спойлер
The crew changed the MagVector 3D samples today. A total of 12 different samples will be processed on the ISS (1 per day). ESA's MagVector investigation supports a study of how Earth's magnetic field interacts with an electrical conductor. Using extremely sensitive magnetic sensors placed around and above a conductor, researchers can gain insight into ways that the magnetic field influences how conductors work. This research is expected to help improve future ISS experiments and electrical experiments, and could also offer insights into how magnetic fields influence electrical conductors in general.
[свернуть]
Airway Monitoring:
Спойлер
In support of ESA's Airway Monitoring investigation, today the crew set up and powered on hardware in the US Laboratory to support a software upgrade from the ground. The ISS provides a unique environment, allowing these measurements to be taken in weightless, hypobaric and hypoxic conditions. With dust particles present in the ISS atmosphere, this investigation studies indicators of airway inflammation in crewmembers, using ultra-sensitive gas analyzers to analyze NO in exhaled air. This will help to identify potential health impacts and support maintenance of crewmember health during future human spaceflight missions, wh ere crewmembers will have to be more self-sufficient in identifying and avoiding conditions that may result in airway inflammation.
[свернуть]
Lighting Effects:
Спойлер
The crew obtained light meter readings in Crew Quarters 4 and the Columbus module today. The Lighting Effects investigation studies the impact of the change from fluorescent light bulbs to solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with adjustable intensity and color. The investigation aims to determine if the new lights can improve crew circadian rhythms, sleep, and cognitive performance.

A commercial SpaceX Dragon cargo capsule packed with a robot assistant for the International Space Station's crew, pouches of extra strong coffee, and a NASA science instrument designed to track the health of plants on Earth left Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9 rocket Friday on a three-day pursuit of the orbiting research lab.

Riding a plume of orange rocket exhaust, the Falcon 9 launcher climbed into a clear pre-sunrise sky after liftoff from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad at 5:42:42 a.m. EDT (0942:42 GMT), roughly the moment Earth's rotation carried the spaceport under the International Space Station's orbital track.
Спойлер
The Falcon 9's first stage, launching for the second time after boosting a NASA science satellite to orbit in April, pivoted its engines to steer the rocket northeast from Cape Canaveral with 1.7 million pounds of thrust.

The rocket dropped the first stage booster to fall into the Atlantic Ocean — it was not planned to be recovered — as the Falcon 9's second stage ignited for a five-and-a-half-minute firing to give the Dragon cargo craft enough speed to achieve orbit around Earth.

The launcher soared into sunlight as it reached the rarefied upper atmosphere, creating a twilight effect as the Falcon 9's expanding exhaust cloud caught the first rays of the morning sun.

Imagery of the Falcon 9's ascent into space showed the exhaust plume illuminated, appearing as a growing nebula-like feature and putting on a memorable light show for spectators across Florida.

The rocket's second stage shut down around eight-and-a-half minutes into the flight, then deployed the Dragon supply ship around 90 seconds later. Two power-generating solar panels unfurled to a span of around 54 feet (16.5 meters), and the ship's rocket jets were primed for the three-day chase of the space station.

Meanwhile, the second stage was programmed to continue orbiting Earth for a long-duration coast demonstration, collecting data to verify the rocket can operate in space for up to six hours, allowing future Falcon 9 rocket missions to send payloads into higher, harder-to-reach orbits.

Friday's launch marked the 57th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket, and SpaceX's 12th launch of the year. It was the 14th time SpaceX has launched a reused first stage booster, and the fourth flight of a previously-used Dragon capsule.

The first stage launched Friday was the final one manufactured by SpaceX using the company's discontinued "Block 4" configuration. SpaceX debuted the upgraded "Block 5" version of the Falcon 9 rocket May 11, and Friday's flight employed a second stage containing Block 5 improvements.

The Falcon 9 Block 5 design is optimized for reusability of the first stage, and SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk said the upgraded Block 5 boosters could be launched, landed and flown again in as few as 24 hours, eventually requiring little more than the cost of new propellants and processing costs.

The Block 4 configuration was not capable of such rapid re-flights, requiring disassembly of its landing legs, inspections, refurbishment and the installation of new heat shield material and grid fins used on descent. The work took time and cost millions of dollars, but SpaceX officials said the expense of refurbishing Block 4 boosters was less than the cost of manufacturing an all-new vehicle.

Friday's mission was the final launch of a Block 4 first stage, said Jessica Jensen, SpaceX's director of Dragon mission management.



paceX's 15th space station cargo mission, part of a commercial resupply contract with NASA valued at more than $3 billion, is set to reach its destination around 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) Monday.

Space station crew members will take command of the Canadian-built robotic arm to grapple the free-floating Dragon capsule. The robot arm will berth the spacecraft on the station's Harmony module a couple of hours later, beginning a one-month stay.

Astronauts will manually unpack the contents of Dragon's pressurized cargo module, which SpaceX is reusing from a previous resupply mission that launched in July 2016.

The mission is slated to deliver 5,946 pounds (2,697 kilograms) of equipment, experiments and provisions to the orbiting research laboratory. About 3,774 pounds (1,712 kilograms) of that tally are carried inside Dragon's internal cabin, including:
    [/li]
  • 2,718 pounds (1,233 kilograms) of scientific investigations
  • 452 pounds (205 kilograms) of crew supplies
  • 392 pounds (178 kilograms) of vehicle hardware
  • 139 pounds (63 kilograms) of spacewalk equipment
  • 46 pounds (21 kilograms) of computer resources
  • 27 pounds (12 kilograms) of Russian hardware
The cargo loaded inside Dragon include mice to be examined by scientists upon return to Earth. Researchers will study the effects of microgravity on microorganisms in the animals' gastrointestinal tracts.

There is also an experiment aboard the Dragon cargo capsule which will help scientists study how algae grows in space. Algae could provide basic nutrition and help absorb carbon dioxide on future space missions, and algae oils could reduce the adverse effects of cosmic radiation on humans.

European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, who launched earlier this month to begin a half-year on the space station, is also getting a talking assistant enabled by artificial intelligence.

Known as CIMON — short for Crew Interactive Mobile Companion — the robot will help Gerst complete tasks, conduct experiments, and repair and upgrade components inside the space station.

"CIMON a free-floating artificial intelligence, and when he will be activated, this is kind of a historical moment," said Christian Karrasch, CIMON's project lead at DLR, the German Aerospace Center. "We are very happy that CIMON will be the first artifical intelligence in space.

"For us, this is a piece of the future of human spaceflight. If you go out to the moon or to Mars, you cannot take all (of) mankind and engineers with you, but with an artifical intelligence, you have, instantly, all the knowledge of mankind," Karrasch said.

Developed in partnership between DLR, Airbus Defense and Space, and IBM, CIMON is a spherical device about the size of a medicine ball. The entire structure of CIMON, primarily metal and plastic, was 3D-printed, according to Airbus.

Robots like CIMON could help space crews do their work more efficiently, improve safety, minimize crew stress, and help the public better understand spaceflight, according to project officials.



CIMON's "neural" AI network and ability to learn, along with human-like characteristics such as a face and voice, will make it more of a companion than just an experiment to Gerst and other station crew members, officials said.

The AI-enabled helper was paired with Gerst, a German-born astronaut, using voice samples before his flight. That means CIMON will best communicate with him, but officials said anyone could work with the robot.

"If Alexander Gerst has certain questions to the experiment he's working on, CIMON has quite keep knowledge on that experiment, so he can really get inside the experiment, and he can ask questions that are beyond the procedure," said Philipp Schulien, an engineer on CIMON from Airbus.

CIMON learns with the help of IBM Watson AI technology.

"During the times when there is connectivity, all the communications go back through the cloud," said Bret Greenstein, IBM's global vice president of Watson and Internet of Things offerings. "So all the AI work is being processed at the cloud, actual language, all the training and the tailoring we did, happens in the cloud, which also means we can enhance it from the Earth anytime, and make it smarter constantly to help Alexander and the team to use it."

Kirk Shireman, NASA's space station program manager, said astronaut crews traveling deeper into the solar system will need to be more autonomous due to the communications delays inherent in such journeys.

"You can think of all of human knowledge, you might need to access parts of that," Shireman said. "So having AI, and having that knowledge base and the ability to tap into it in a way that's useful for the task that you're doing, is really critical for having humans farther and farther away from the planet."

In sum, the cargo mission will help enable 27 scientific experiments on the space station, according to David Brady, the International Space Station's assistant program scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Fresh food, including crab, lobster and maale-smoked salmon, pouches of strong coffee from Death Wish Coffee, an iPad Air, and spacesuit gloves are also among the items stowed inside the Dragon spacecraft.

The equipment launched to the space station inside the Dragon's trunk included a spare Canadian-built latching end effector for the research lab's robotic arm, plus a 1,213-pound (550-kilogram) instrument developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to be mounted outside the station's Japanese Kibo lab module to measure the temperature of plants from space.

The spare latching end effector, or hand, for the robotic arm will be stored outside the space station, ready to replace one of the arm's two end effectors with the help of spacewalking astronauts, if needed.

Astronauts replaced both hands of the robotic arm in a series of spacewalks late last year and earlier this year. Both latching end effectors showed signs of aging and wear-and-tear after nearly 17 years on the space station, and the replacements left the station without a spare hand for the arm, also known as Canadarm 2.

"It's a critical system," said Ken Podwalski, the Canadian Space Agency's space station program manager. "We always want to be able to protect for a failure."

The robotic arm is vital for the space station to receive cargo deliveries by SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo carrier, and Japan's HTV supply ship. It is also used to move astronauts around the space station on spacewalks, and for transferring experiments and other equipment around the exterior of the nearly million-pound science outpost.

Canadarm 2 is Canada's primary contribution to the space station. It uses the latching end effectors to inchworm between multiple host adapters outside space station module and on the station's truss backbone, and the arm's hands are capable of routing data, video and electrical power.

"Overall, I would dare say that we've gotten exceptional performance out of our space robotics, just because 17 years into the game for a system that was designed for a 10-year operational life — and 15 years on orbit — with the very few issues that we've had," Podwalski said.

"I think our biggest problems have really been about cameras. We've changed a number of cameras. We've got new cameras in the works, and those are actually very nice because we can actually change them out robotically," he said. "So that's a case wh ere we're using our own robots to fix our own robots. It's kind of the ideal scenario."

The Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station, or ECOSTRESS, will measure heat energy coming off Earth's surface. The temperature measurements will tell scientists about the health of the plants, how much water they are using, and the resiliency of crops to extreme conditions like heat waves and droughts.

"When a plant is so stressed that it turns brown, it's often too late for it to recover," said Simon Hook, ECOSTRESS principal investigator at JPL. "But measuring the temperature of the plant lets you see that a plant is stressed before it reaches that point."

Developed under a cost cap of $30 million, the ECOSTRESS instrument is a pathfinder for future missions, and it will collect data from its mounting fixture outside the space station for about one year.

"ECOSTRESS will allow us to monitor rapid changes in crop stress at the field level, enabling earlier and more accurate estimates of how yields will be impacted," said Martha Anderson, an ECOSTRESS science team member with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Maryland. "Even short-term moisture stress, if it occurs during a critical stage of crop growth, can significantly impact productivity."

The thermal sensitivity of ECOSTRESS will also make it useful for detecting and studying hotspots, such as wildfires and volcanoes.

The Dragon spacecraft will depart the space station Aug. 2 and return to a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean with nearly two tons of equipment, cargo and research specimens for analysis by engineers and scientists on the ground.

REALM (RFID-Enabled Autonomous Logistics Management) is a 3-phased experimental project based on RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies. The primary objective is to learn how to automate logistics management for future space exploration missions. While early stages of the REALM experiments are focused on solutions to automate activities such as inventories and item searches, future experiments that allow robotic interaction with logistics, such as unpacking or setup in advance of human arrival, are anticipated. It is considered critical for beyond–Low Earth Orbit missions, in which ground support for finding items is impractical and re-launch of missing items is not an option. It also improves packing efficiencies for reduced stowage volume. The REALM team is using the International Space Station as a test bed to evaluate and mature the relevant technologies.

On the final leg of a three-day trip after liftoff fr om Cape Canaveral on Friday, a SpaceX Dragon supply ship packed with nearly three tons of cargo is set to arrive at the International Space Station around 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) Monday.

Astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel will use the space station's Canadian-built robotic arm -- Canadarm 2 -- to capture the Dragon capsule.

The unpiloted Dragon supply ship carries more than 5,900 pounds (nearly 2,700 kilograms) of hardware, crew provisions and experiments. The supplies include an AI-enabled robot helper for the station crew, and an instrument from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory designed to study plant health and stress.

Members of the station crew will be on standby to manually issue hold or retreat commands to the Dragon spacecraft, which will be flying on autopilot.

Laser navigation sensors and thermal cameras aboard the Dragon capsule will collect data on the range, closure rate and orientation between the supply ship and the space station.

The Dragon capsule lifted off at 5:42 a.m. EDT (0942 GMT) Friday from Cape Canaveral.

Since liftoff, the cargo craft has completed several orbit adjustments using its rocket thrusters to boost itself to the space station's altitude more than 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth.

The Dragon will arrive at a hold point 350 meters -- or 1,150 feet -- below the space station at 5:04 a.m. EDT (0904 GMT), around two hours before its scheduled capture by the robotic arm. The spacecraft will conduct a 180-degree yaw maneuver to align its grapple fixture with the position of the station's robotic arm before continuing the approach.

Soon after beginning its final approach sequence, the Dragon spacecraft will halt again at a hold position 250 meters, or 820 feet, below the space station at 5:19 a.m. EDT (0919 GMT). This brief hold allows ground controllers to assess the status of the rendezvous and issue a "go" for the Dragon to enter the so-called keep-out sphere, an imaginary circle around the space station in which traffic is tightly controlled for safety reasons.

The Dragon spacecraft should depart the 250-meter hold point around 5:34 a.m. EDT (0934 GMT), heading for a 30-meter hold position before pressing on to a final point about 10 meters, or 33 feet, beneath the space station for capture by the robot arm.

Once in the grasp of the robot arm, Dragon will be maneuvered to a berthing port on the space station's Harmony module, wh ere it will stay until Aug. 2. The supply ship will head back to Earth for a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean with around two tons of research specimens and other equipment requiring analysis and refurbishment.
