Astronauts Release Japanese Spaceship

Mark Garcia
Posted Nov 7, 2018 at 12:03 pm


Japan's H-II Transfer Vehicle-7 (HTV-7) is pictured moments after it was released fr om the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm.

Expedition 57 Commander Alexander Gerst of ESA (European Space Agency), with back-up support from NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, used the International Space Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to release a Japanese cargo spacecraft at 11:51 a.m. EST. At the time of release, the space station was flying 254 miles over the northern Pacific Ocean. Earlier, ground controllers used the robotic arm to unberth the cargo craft.

After release, a new, small reentry capsule will be deployed from the unpiloted H-II Transfer Vehicle-7 (HTV-7) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Designed by JAXA and assembled by the station crew, the conically shaped capsule measures 2 feet in height and 2.7 feet in width. The project is a technology demonstration designed to test JAXA's ability to return small payloads from the station for expedited delivery to researchers.

HTV-7 will be a safe distance away from the space station after the last of several deorbit maneuvers. The return capsule will be ejected from a hatchway after the deorbit burn. The experimental capsule will perform a parachute-assisted splashdown off the coast of Japan, wh ere a JAXA ship will be standing by for its recovery.

The HTV-7 spacecraft is scheduled to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up harmlessly over the South Pacific Ocean Nov. 10.

Plasma Kristall-4 (PK-4):

Спойлер

The crew initiated the second of four PK-4 experiment runs with the start of Particle Trapping via the European Physiology Module (EPM) laptop commanding using Neon Gas. This will allow clouds of particles to be captured inside the PK-4 chamber. Between the two scripts, it is desired to perform four successful trappings. PK-4 is a scientific collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), performing research in the field of "Complex Plasmas" which are low temperature gaseous mixtures composed of ionized gas, neutral gas, and micron-sized particles. The micro-particles become highly charged in the plasma and interact strongly with each other which can lead to a self-organized structure of the micro-particles – so-called plasma crystals. Experiments in the facility aim to study Transport Properties, Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Statistical Physics, and Non-linear waves and Instabilities in the plasmas.

Роскосмос. После перезагрузки компьютера на МКС все системы работают штатно
08.11.2018

8 ноября 2018 года на российском сегменте Международной космической станции (МКС) произведена перезагрузка одного из трех центральных компьютеров, в работе которого ранее отмечался сбой.

Перезапуск системы начался в 12 час. 05 мин. мск. После успешной перезагрузки нормальная работа компьютера возобновилась. Система тестировалась на протяжении полутора витков полета станции вокруг Земли (около двух часов). По факту тестирования все системы работают штатно.

Как сообщалось ранее, на днях на одном из трех компьютеров на РС МКС произошел сбой программы. На работу МКС этот сбой никак не повлиял. Для нормального функционирования станции достаточной двух работающих компьютеров, где один резервирует второй. Менять компьютеры не планируется.

Mapping Carbon in 3-D

NASA Goddard

Опубликовано: 7 нояб. 2018 г.

NASA's new laser instrument, the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation, or GEDI, has advanced laser technology that will reveal the makeup of remote forest ecosystems around the globe. GEDI will soar above Earth at 17,150 miles per hour onboard the International Space Station. Its measurements of the height of leaves, branches, trees, and shrubs below its path will help scientists map the structure of forests and better understand how ecosystems are storing or releasing carbon.

GEDI's lidar instrument sends laser pulses down to Earth, where they penetrate the globe's temperate and tropical forests. The laser beams ricochet off the first thing they hit, which can be a leaf atop a dense canopy, a protruding branch, or the ground from which the forest emerges. The energy returned to the GEDI tele scope on the International Space Station will provide an intricate three-dimensional map of forest canopies and carbon storage.

Led by the University of Maryland in collaboration with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, GEDI has the highest resolution and densest sampling of any lidar every put in orbit.

Japan's HTV-7 resupply ship is pictured after it was released from the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Both the HTV-7 and the International Space Station were orbiting about 254 miles above the Pacific Ocean and about 311 miles west of Baja California.

The Expedition 57 crew said farewell to a Japanese resupply ship Wednesday and is getting ready to welcome U.S. and Russian space freighters in less than two weeks. The trio first practiced International Space Station emergency procedures today then went on to space research and robotics training.

Спойлер

The U.S. company Northrop Grumman is getting its 10th Cygnus cargo craft packed and ready for launch atop an Antares rocket Nov. 15 at 4:49 a.m. EST. Russia will launch its 71st station resupply mission aboard a Progress spaceship the next day at 1:14 p.m.

Both resupply ships are due to arrive at the station Sunday Nov. 18 just 10 hours apart. The Cygnus will get there first following its head start. Commander Alexander Gerst assisted by Flight Engineer Serena Auñón-Chancellor will capture the American vessel with the Canadarm2 robotic arm at 4:35 a.m. A few hours later, cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev will monitor the approach and automated docking of the Russian Progress 71 cargo craft to the Zvezda service module at 2:30 p.m.

All three crew members called down to mission controls centers in Houston and Moscow for a coordinated emergency drill today. The orbital residents practiced communication and decision-making skills while maneuvering along evacuation paths and locating safety gear.

Afterward, Gerst and Serena partnered up and reviewed next Sunday's Cygnus approach and rendezvous procedures. Gerst will command the Canadarm2 to reach out and grapple Cygnus as Serena monitors the spaceship's telemetry and data.

Prokopyev continued his science and maintenance duties in the orbital lab's Russian segment. The cosmonaut explored the physics of plasma-dust crystals then conducted an eye exam in conjunction with doctors on Earth. Prokopyev also photographed the inside of the Zvezda and stowed radiation detectors.

Posted Nov 9, 2018 at 1:27 pm


Flight Engineer Serena Auñón-Chancellor checks on plants being grown for botany research aboard the International Space Station. NASA is exploring ways to keep astronauts self-sufficient as humans learn to live longer and farther out into space and beyond low-Earth orbit.

A crew of three from around the world are heading into the weekend aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 57 trio from the United States, Russia and Germany studied a variety of space phenomena today including physics, biology and time perception.

Спойлер

Flight Engineer Serena Auñón-Chancellor joined Commander Alexander Gerst for eye checks first thing Friday morning. The duo then split up for a science-filled day and preparations for the next U.S. cargo mission.

Serena spent most of the day in the Japanese Kibo lab module mixing protein crystal samples and stowing them in an incubator for later analysis. She moved on to a little space gardening for the VEG-03 study before stowing gear that sequences ribonucleic acid, or RNA, from unknown microbes living in the station.

Serena also found time to set up a command panel for communications with a Cygnus cargo craft when it arrives to resupply the station Nov. 18. The resupply ship from U.S. company Northrop Grumman is being packed and readied for launch atop an Antares rocket Nov. 15 at 4:49 a.m. EST. from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Gerst spent over an hour in the European Columbus lab module today researching how astronauts perceive time in space including its physical and mental impacts. The German astronaut from ESA (European Space Agency) also configured a specialized microscope for more protein crystal observations.

Flight Engineer Sergey Prokopyev from Roscosmos continued his week-long research exploring complex plasmas, or ionized gases produced by high temperatures. The Russian experiment may benefit space physics research and improve spacecraft designs. The cosmonaut also swapped fuel bottles inside the Combustion Integrated Rack to maintain ongoing flame and gas research aboard the station.

Космонавты выйдут в открытый космос обследовать "дыру" в "Союзе" 11 декабря
03:09 10.11.2018

МОСКВА, 10 ноя — РИА Новости. Российские космонавты Сергей Прокопьев и Олег Кононенко выйдут в открытый космос для обследования отверстия в космическом корабле "Союз МС-09" 11 декабря, сообщили РИА Новости в пресс-службе "Роскосмоса".

Ранее сообщалось, что выход запланирован на 10-11 декабря, но официально эта информация не подтверждалась.

"Внекорабельная деятельность российских космонавтов запланирована на 11 декабря", — сказал представитель "Роскосмоса", уточнив, что время выхода и его продолжительность пока не известны.

Спойлер

Сергей Прокопьев – командир "Союза", в котором обнаружили отверстие, сейчас находится на станции. Олег Кононенко отправится на орбиту 3 декабря 2018 года.

Ранее планировалось, что напарником Прокопьева станет Алексей Овчинин, выход пройдет 15 ноября, а Олег Кононенко прибудет на МКС уже после того, как Прокопьев со своим экипажем вернется на Землю. Однако из-за аварии ракеты "Союз-ФГ" 11 октября "Союз МС-10" с Овчининым и американским астронавтом Ником Хейгом не попал на станцию.

Специально для того, чтобы не оставлять МКС на какое-то время без команды, а также успеть провести выход и обследовать "Союз" с отверстием, было решено отправить следующий экипаж (Кононенко, канадского астронавта Давида Сен-Жака и американку Энн Макклейн) немного раньше, а находящийся сейчас на станции экипаж вернуть домой попозже.
...
Космический корабль "Союз МС-09" будет находиться в составе МКС до 20 декабря, когда текущая экспедиция вернется на Землю. При возвращении космонавтов бытовой отсек отстреливается и сгорает в плотных слоях атмосферы. Космонавты приземляются в спускаемой капсуле.
