The expanded six-member Expedition 60 crew gathers in the Zvezda service module for a crew greeting ceremony with family, friends and mission officials on the ground. In the front row from left, are Flight Engineers Luca Parmitano, Alexander Skvortsov and Andrew Morgan. In the back are Flight Engineer Nick Hague, Commander Alexey Ovchinin and Flight ENgineer Christina Koch.

NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan, Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos joined Expedition 60 Commander Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos and NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Koch aboard the International Space Station when the hatches between the Soyuz spacecraft and the orbiting laboratory officially opened at 9:04 p.m. EDT.

The arrival restores the station's crew complement to six. The Expedition 60 crew will spend more than six months conducting about 250 science investigations in fields such as biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences, and technology development. Work on the unique microgravity laboratory advances scientific knowledge and demonstrates new technologies, making research breakthroughs that will enable long-duration human and robotic exploration of the Moon and Mars.

One of those key technology developments will be the arrival and installation of the second docking port for commercial crew spacecraft – SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner. International Docking Adapter-3 (IDA-3) is set to launch to the station on SpaceX Dragon's 18th commercial resupply services mission.

Some of the investigations they will conduct are sponsored by the U.S. National Laboratory on the space station, which Congress designated in 2005 to maximize its use for improving quality of life on Earth. Highlights of upcoming investigations the crew will facilitate on the orbiting laboratory in the unique microgravity environment include the growth of moss aboard the station, a platform to attempt successful printing of biological tissues and bio-mining in space.

Parmitano and Skvortsov are scheduled to remain aboard the station with Koch until February 2020, leaving Morgan on station for an extended stay. Hague and Ovchinin are set to return to Earth on Oct. 3.

N° 8–2019: LUCA PARMITANO RETURNS TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
21 July 2019


ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano has arrived at the International Space Station on his 'Beyond' mission, marking the start of Expedition 60.


Luca and crewmates NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov travelled for six hours in their Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft. They were launched into space fr om the Baikonur Cosmodrome on 20 July 2019, 18:28 CEST and docked to the Station at 00:48 CEST on 21 July. After docking, the crew conducted thorough checks on the seals before being welcomed on board by NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Nick Hague, along with Russian cosmonaut and current Space Station commander Alexei Ovchinin at 03:04 CEST on 21 July.


Over the next six months, Luca will support more than 50 European experiments as well as 200 international experiments. These include investigations into how aspects of the human body are affected by microgravity and how astronauts could control robots remotely during lunar exploration.


When Alexei Ovchinin departs the Space Station at the end of Expedition 60, Luca will also take on the role of Space Station commander for Expedition 61. This is the third time a European astronaut and the first time an ESA astronaut from Italy has held this position. Luca will follow ESA astronauts Frank De Winne (2009) and Alexander Gerst (2018) when he takes command later this year.


Frank, who is now head of ESA's astronaut centre in Cologne, Germany, says Luca's appointment to the role of commander is a reflection of ESA's standing among international space agencies: "People can rely on us, and they do rely on us," he said. "Not only in terms of the hardware that we provide - to the Space Station and the service module for the Orion spacecraft, but also in the area of crew operations.  I think that is a very good result of the investment that ESA Member States make." 

Bringing the Moon into focus
Launching 50 years after the first Apollo Moon landing, it is fitting that Luca will work on experiments designed to aid the future of space exploration.


These experiments include BioRock, which aims to help scientists understand whether microbes used to 'biomine' on Earth could also work on other planetary bodies, and to examine how communities of microorganisms grow on rocks in space.


Luca will also test and operate ESA's Life Support Rack, designed to recycle carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen as part of ESA's goal to enable astronauts to live independently from Earth on a sustainable basis. He will also operate an Earth-based rover from the International Space Station testing remote operations that could be applied on the Moon.


Results from these experiments will support ESA's contribution to the lunar Gateway and the Heracles mission to the Moon in ongoing work with international partners.


"What has happened today is part of our journey forward to the Moon," said ESA Director General Jan Wörner. "With our international partners, we are excited to be part of a new generation of space explorers, giving research opportunities and access to space to all of our Member States."

Stepping into space
Luca has also been preparing for spacewalks, working with teams on the ground to develop new procedures and tools to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02).


Installed outside the Space Station in 2011, AMS-02 is a particle physics detector collecting cosmic rays to help scientists understand dark matter and antimatter. It was initially only meant to operate in space for three years, but it was so successful in its mission that its life has been extended. To enable this to happen, three of its four cooling pumps require repair in a challenging spacewalk.

Going Beyond
Luca's activities during the Beyond mission are part of ESA's long-term vision to send the first Europeans beyond Earth orbit and establish Europe as a key partner in humankind's exploration of the Solar System.


Working with international partners, ESA seeks to bring new knowledge, innovation and inspiration to all European citizens and increase accessibility for researchers through new Space Station facilities such as the International Commercial Experiments service (ICE Cubes) installed in the Columbus module in 2018.


"What we are learning in low Earth orbit will enable the next generation to go farther and keep exploring. For us to be able to go back to the Moon and towards Mars, we have to know how to survive and operate in those worlds. That is wh ere the Space Station comes into play," Luca says.

Latest updates from Luca
The first European press conference with Luca live from the Space Station is planned for 29 July at the Leonardo di Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, Italy. This is open to European media and will be broadcast live.


Further updates from the Beyond mission will be published online at: http://lucaparmitano.esa.int/

    A waning gibbous Moon was pictured from the International Space Station on the 50th anniversary of NASA landing humans on the lunar surface for the first time.

    SpaceX is targeting Wednesday at 6:24 p.m. EDT for the launch of its 18th contracted Dragon resupply mission to the International Space Station. This will be the third flight of this particular reusable Dragon space freighter atop a Falcon 9 rocket.

    The Expedition 60 crew is now fully staffed with three new flight engineers, who arrived Saturday aboard the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft, expanding the station inhabitants to six. Drew Morgan of NASA, Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Alexander Skvortsov of Roscosmos are getting used to their new home in space and working to get the orbiting lab up to full speed.

    Morgan will be on Dragon duty Friday morning, monitoring its approach to the station. NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Koch will capture the commercial cargo craft around 7 a.m. with the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Dragon is delivering a variety of research gear supporting human health and the International Docking Adapter-3 (IDA-3) for commercial vehicles from Boeing and SpaceX.

    Station managers are planning a spacewalk to complete the installation of the IDA-3 on the space-facing side of the Harmony module. Parmitano, Hague and Koch teamed up Monday to service U.S. spacesuits ahead of the upcoming spacewalk.

    Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Skvortsov focused on science and maintenance in the Russian segment of the space station. Ovchinin photographed the condition of the Zvezda service module docking port and checked radiation readings. Skvortsov, now on his third station mission, inventoried gear delivered aboard the new Soyuz crew ship.

    SEOPS Mission Patch

    Spaceflight has announced that it is providing mission management and rideshare integration services on an upcoming launch from the International Space Station (ISS) and Northrop Grumman's Cygnus launch vehicle. Spaceflight bought the capacity through an arrangement with Hypergiant SEOPS for a variety of customer spacecraft, including: RFTSat from Northwest Nazarene University; selected for flight via NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative; NARSSCube-2 from NARSS-Egypt developed by researchers from NARSS-Egypt for technology demonstration and environmental study; launch was coordinated by Smart Integrators and an undisclosed 6U Cubesat

    In a unique arrangement, the spacecraft will be arriving at the ISS through an ISS Cargo Resupply Mission aboard via a SpaceX Falcon 9 Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in late July. Spaceflight has named the mission SEOPS-1, but it is also referred to as ISS SpX18/NG11, representing the launch vehicles meeting at the ISS (a SpaceX Falcon 9 Dragon and a Northop Grumman Antares Cygnus).

    "We are always looking for creative and innovative ways to get our customers' spacecraft in orbit, and our partnership with Hypergiant SEOPS helps us deliver on this promise," said Curt Blake, CEO of Spaceflight. "The rideshare campaign is a low schedule risk option because of the regular cadence of ISS Cargo Resupply Missions and the maturity of the Dragon/Falcon 9 and Cygnus/Antares launch systems. We're looking forward to commissioning more of these types of missions in the future."

    The Cygnus vehicle is already docked at the ISS, following its launch on April 17, 2019 and landing on April 19, 2019. During the weeks following the arrival of the Dragon capsule in late July which will carry the rideshare customers' spacecraft, the ISS crew will transfer the cargo from the Dragon to the ISS, wh ere they will place the SEOPS SlingShot Deployer with the installed satellites into the SlingShot hardware attached to the Cygnus hatch bulkhead. After the ISS side-hatch is closed and the space between the ISS and Cygnus spacecraft depressurized, the ISS robotic arm will unberth the Cygnus from the ISS. Cygnus will then manoeuvre itself to a higher orbit (450-500 km altitude, 51.6-degree inclination) to deploy the satellites and conduct more tests.

    SEOPS brings a wealth of experience to the mission, with personnel who have been responsible for deploying more than 200 small satellites from the ISS and Cygnus spacecraft since 2012. The team was responsible for the development, construction, qualification, safety and integration of these satellites through the NASA Human Space Program, one of the most demanding government qualification programs for spaceflight. In February 2019, SEOPS successfully completed the deployment using the SlingShot deployer from NG-10 – Cygnus.

    "Our focus is on improving the Earth-to-Space experience for all customers whether it's through our ability to use machine learning and AI to interpret complex data, or in improving the ability of our customers to get to space when they want, how they want," said Chad Brinkley, Chief Space Officer at Hypergiant. "Spaceflight has been an integral partner in continuing to provide the best-in-class experience for our customers."

    ЦитироватьSEOPS MISSION PREVIEW
    By Hilary Meyerson
    JULY 10, 2019

    Spaceflight is all about getting to space, in the most cost effective and reliable way. That's why we're so excited about our upcoming SEOPS-1 mission. This will be a ground breaker in several ways. We'll be launching six cubesats for three different customers, using two different launch vehicles, the International Space Station and several intrepid astronauts.

    The International Space Station (ISS) uses two vehicles for resupplying the astronauts: Northrup Grumman's Cygnus, which launches on their Antares launch vehicle, and SpaceX's Dragon Capsule, which launches using their Falcon 9. Both Cygnus and Dragon berth with the ISS and offload supplies and experiments.  After completing its on-station mission, Dragon is deberthed fr om the ISS, it re-enters and returns back to Earth for reuse. Cygnus is loaded with trash and disposables from the ISS, is deberthed, conducts extended mission operations, and ultimately deorbits and  burns up in the atmosphere. For this mission, during the extended mission operations of Cygnus it will serve as a deployment platform for our customers' cubesats.
    Here's how it will work: 

      [/li]
    • The Cygnus was launched on April 17, 2019 and is currently berthed with the ISS. In mid-July, the Dragon will launch aboard the Falcon 9 in late July and will also berth with the ISS. They will be berth mates for about a week. Besides the astronaut supplies and experiments, the Dragon will also have our customers' cubesats and a unique Slingshot Deployment system on board.
      [/li]
    • The astronauts will unpack their supplies and pull the cubesats and dispensers from the cargo transfer bags. One of our spacecraft is packaged in a CTB with snacks for the astronauts, so we're sure it will get careful handling! They will then re-pack the Cygnus with the ISS refuse and some other experiments, and close the hatch. Then they will install the Slingshot dispenser rails and cubesat dispensers on the outside of the Cygnus.
      [/li]
    • When installation is complete, the Cygnus will deberth after the dispenser installation and will raise up to a 500km orbit, using its propulsion system. Engineers on the ground will initiate the deployment sequence, and our customers' cubesats will be deployed.
      [/li]
    • After that, the Cygnus will allow its final experiments to run. Once complete, the Cygnus' mission is done, and it will use its propulsion one last time to push back to the atmosphere wh ere it will burn up.


    This innovative mission has several advantages for our customers. First and foremost, it is cost effective as it is using capacity that is already there. Our customers are "hitching a ride" on some of the most reliable launches out there – resupply missions that are already scheduled and will be going regardless of commercial payloads. Also, these launches have a reliable and consistent schedule, allowing our customers to get on orbit faster. We have several more SEOPS launches planned and look forward to taking many more customers to space via the ISS resupply missions.


    At the ISS, the SEOPS SlingShot Deployer with the installed satellites will be attached to the Cygnus hatch bulkhead.
