Source: Xinhua | 2019-07-28 21:08:35 | Editor: Wu Qin

CAIRO, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Egypt sent a mini-satellite to the International Space Station, where it will be put into orbit next week, a senior Egyptian official said on Sunday.

The CubeSat was completely designed, built and tested in Egypt, Mohamed Zahran, chief of the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, told Egypt's MENA news agency.

Egypt cooperated with the Japanese Space Agency in testing the satellite before being shipped to the United States, where it was launched Saturday among other items into the space by a Falcon-9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida, Zahran added.

Zahran said that the satellite is 1 kg in mass and cost around 1 million Egyptian pounds (about 60,000 U.S. dollars).

The Egyptian official pointed out that the satellite is meant for research purposes, adding that it will also test space systems developed by the Egyptian space agency.

Another satellite of the same kind will be sent to space within two months, he revealed.

Crew Unloads Dragon as Russian Cargo Ships Depart, Prep for Launch

Mark Garcia
Posted Jul 29, 2019 at 8:29 am


Russia's Progress 73 cargo craft stands at its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan counting down to a Wednesday liftoff.

A new U.S. space freighter is open for business today after delivering its payload to the International Space Station on Saturday. Meanwhile, a Russian resupply rocket is processing for another space delivery mission on Wednesday that will take less than three and a half hours after launch.

NASA Flight Engineer Nick Hague opened Dragon's hatch early Sunday beginning a month of cargo operations. His fellow crewmates Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan are unloading critical research samples and stowing them inside the station's science freezers and incubators for analysis.

The new experiments will be exploring microgravity's effect on a variety of biological and physical processes benefitting humans on Earth and in space. The crew will be researching 3-D bio-printing, silica manufacturing, botany and tissue regeneration and a host of other space phenomena.

Robotics controllers will remove the International Docking Adapter-3(IDA-3), a new commercial crew ship docking port, from Dragon's unpressurized trunk in mid-August. A pair of spacewalkers will install the IDA-3 on the Harmony module's space-facing Pressurized Mating Adapter a few days later.

Russia's Pirs Docking Compartment port opened up today at 6:44 a.m. EDT when the Progress 72 (72P) cargo craft undocked completing a four-month stay at the orbiting lab. It will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere loaded with trash and discarded gear for a fiery, but safe disposal over the Pacific Ocean.

The new Progress 73 cargo ship will replace 72P after it launches Wednesday at 8:10 a.m. from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It will dock to Pirs that same morning at 11:35 a.m. after just two Earth orbits packed with more food, fuel and supplies for the crew.

Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov are training today on the tele-robotically operated rendezvous unit (TORU) for Wednesday's arrival of the 73P. The duo will be in the Zvezda service module at the controls of the TORU monitoring the 73P's approach ready to take over manual docking operations in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Protein Crystal Growth (PCG) Transfers fr om the Dragon Vehicle:

 Скрытый текст:

Multiple Protein Crystal Growth experiments were transferred from the CSR-18 vehicle to the ISS to begin their science runs:

[/li]
• Microgravity Crystallization of Glycogen Synthase-Glycogenin Protein Complex (CASIS PCG 10) crystallizes human glycogen synthase proteins on the space station. These include enzymes critical for glycogen synthesis in the liver and those present in muscle. The lack of convection in microgravity can result in higher quality crystals that contribute to better understanding of a protein's structure and support development of more effective medications with fewer side effects.
  
• Microgravity Crystal Growth for Improvement in Neutron Diffraction and the Analysis of Protein Complexes (CASIS PCG 15) seeks a better understanding of enzyme catalysis by examining crystals from two model Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes and from a bacteriophage transient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair complex. Analysis of the crystals may reveal catalyst mechanisms and structures and visualize the interaction between the repair proteins. Results could contribute to identification of biomarkers for diagnosis of disease and to development of better antimicrobials.
  
• Monoclonal Antibody Stability in Microgravity-Formulation Study (CASIS PCG 19) examines the stability of monoclonal antibody formulations in microgravity. These formulations degrade over time and sometimes must be discarded, increasing cost and limiting the parts of the world wh ere patients can benefit from them. Storing formulations in microgravity may reveal processes that lead to degradation and, ultimately, to methods for slowing it down.
  
• The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Moderate Temperature Protein Crystallization Growth investigation (JAXA Moderate Temp PCG #13) will grow high quality protein crystals in microgravity. The crystals are returned to Earth to determine protein structures in detail; the structures are used to develop pharmaceutical drugs, and to explore the mystery of our lives.

New Space Research Kicks Off Ahead of Wednesday Cargo Launch

Mark Garcia
Posted Jul 30, 2019 at 12:36 pm


NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan are pictured working inside the Unity module which connects the International Space Station's U.S. segment with the Russian segment.

Microgravity research is ramping up aboard the International Space Station with brand new science payloads and an expanded Expedition 60 crew. July will see one more mission going up to the orbiting lab as a Russian cargo craft counts down to a Wednesday launch and docking.

The Cell Science-02 experiment is underway on the station to explore bone-healing therapies. Astronauts Nick Hague and Luca Parmitano activated the Life Sciences Glovebox this morning to conduct the new bone research. Hague then retrieved bone cell samples to observe healing and tissue regeneration properties to promote human health on Earth and in space.

Parmitano then photographed samples inside the Kubik incubator for the new Biorock space-mining study. Harnessing the power of microbes could help future astronauts extract precious minerals from the surface of the Moon and Mars.

NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan completed setting up habitats housing mice shipped aboard the SpaceX Dragon space freighter. Scientists are comparing the space rodents to a sample of mice back on Earth to understand biological changes caused by microgravity.

Russia's Progress 73 (73P) cargo craft is standing at its launch pad in Kazakhstan counting down to a liftoff Wednesday at 8:10 a.m. EDT. It will take a three-and-a-half-hour trip to the station's Pirs Docking Compartment carrying almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the crew. NASA TV is broadcasting the fast-track launch and docking activities live starting at 7:45 a.m.

Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov will be monitoring the 73P's automated approach and rendezvous Wednesday. Today, the veteran station residents split their time between human research, computer maintenance and hardware inspections.
