NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan concluded today's spacewalk at 2:59 p.m. EDT. During the six-hour and 32-minute spacewalk, the two astronauts successfully installed the second of two international docking adapters (IDAs).

The IDAs will be used for the future arrivals of Boeing CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon commercial crew spacecraft. NASA's commercial crew partnership with Boeing and SpaceX will restore launches of American astronauts from American soil on American rockets and maximize the time U.S. crews can dedicate to scientific research and technological advances aboard the orbiting laboratory to enable the agency's ambitious goals for the Artemis lunar exploration program and future missions to the Moon and Mars. Regular human space transportation to the space station is a critical step to opening the space station for commercial business to enable the growth of the U.S. commercial space sector and the development of a robust low-Earth orbit economy.

The spacewalkers also completed additional routing for the station's wireless internet.

Space station crew members have spent a total of 1,367 hours and 26 minutes during 218 spacewalks in support of station assembly, maintenance and upgrades. It was the fifth spacewalk in 2019, and the first for Morgan. During three spacewalks, Hague has now spent a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes outside the space station.

Астронавты NASA завершили работы по установке нового стыковочного узла на МКС

Ник Хейг и Эндрю Морган вернулись в шлюзовую камеру Quest

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 21 августа. /ТАСС/. Астронавты NASA Ник Хейг и Эндрю Морган в среду завершили работы по установке нового стыковочного узла на американском сегменте Harmony Международной космической станции (МКС). Трансляция со станции и из Центра космических полетов имени Джонсона в Хьюстоне (штат Техас) шла на сайте NASA .

В 21:46 по московскому времени оба астронавта вернулись в шлюзовую камеру Quest.

На протяжении почти шести часов работ в открытом космосе астронавты сначала проложили кабели электропитания к стыковочному узлу, а затем Центр управления полетом провел проверку работы 12 стыковочных крюков, обеспечивающих контакт стыковочного модуля с переходным шлюзом. Астронавт NASA Кристина Кук, контролирующая ход работ с МКС, сообщила, что все стыковочные крюки сработали штатно. Затем Ник Хейг и Эндрю Морган установили на стыковочном узле два рефлектора, которые будут задействованы на последнем этапе стыковки коммерческих кораблей Boeing CST-100 Starliner и Crew Dragon компании Space X. Как отметили сотрудники Центра космических полетов имени Джонсона, комментировавшие работу астронавтов, они выполняли все задания с заметным опережением графика.

Новый стыковочный узел International Docking Adapter был доставлен на МКС 27 июля космическим грузовиком Dragon и еще до выхода астронавтов из шлюза МКС был с помощью дистанционного манипулятора перемещен с корабля к шлюзовой камере на модуле Harmony.

Нынешний выход в космос стал 218-м со станции и пятым с начала нынешнего года. Для Ника Хейга это уже третий выход в космос, а для Эндрю Моргана - первый. Как сообщили представители NASA, в предстоящие 4-6 месяцев американские астронавты должны совершить еще несколько выходов в открытый космос, в частности для замены батарей на поверхности МКС и для замены спектрометра.

Международная космическая станция находится на орбите с 20 ноября 1998 года. На данный момент участниками этого проекта являются 16 стран: Россия, США, Япония, Бельгия, Великобритания, Германия, Дания, Испания, Италия, Нидерланды, Норвегия, Франция, Швеция, Швейцария, Канада и Бразилия.

Spacewalkers help install new space station docking port

NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Drew Morgan completed a 6-hour, 32-minute spacewalk outside the International Space Station Wednesday to help connect a newly-arrived docking port to the orbiting research outpost.

The astronauts switched their spacesuits to internal battery power at 8:27 a.m. EDT (1227 GMT) Wednesday, marking the official start of Wednesday's spacewalk as they headed outside the space station's Quest airlock.

On Monday, the space station's Canadian-built robotic arm pulled the International Docking Adapter-3, or IDA-3, from the trunk of a SpaceX Dragon cargo craft, which delivered the docking mechanism to the station last month.

The docking system, built by Boeing, is a replacement for the IDA-1 docking adapter destroyed on a 2015 SpaceX launch failure. IDA-3 cost around $22.5 million, a NASA spokesperson said in response to questions from Spaceflight Now.

SpaceX successfully delivered IDA-2 to the station on a Dragon mission in 2016, and the new docking mechanism was first used in March by SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft on an unpiloted test flight before officials clear astronauts to ride the vehicle.

After removing IDA-3 from the Dragon's aft trunk section Monday, the space station's robotic arm placed it on Pressurized Mating Adapter-3, the space-facing zenith port of the space station's Harmony module. IDA-2 is located on the Harmony forward port.

IDA-3 weighed around 1,177 pounds (534 kilograms) before launch. The docking adapter measures about 42 inches (1.1 meters) tall and 63 inches (1.6 meters) wide.

Both docking adapters are designed to fit over disused docking ports designed for visiting space shuttles, but new commercial crew capsules built by Boeing and SpaceX use a different docking system design. The addition of two IDAs on the station allows Boeing's Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsules to park at the complex at the same time, using two separate docking adapters.

SpaceX future Dragon cargo vehicles will also dock with one of the IDAs on the station.

"As we rotate crews through the vehicle, we want to have them time to directly hand over face-to-face, so enabling those two docked vehicles is very important," said Bill Spetch, NASA's deputy manager of space station transportation integration, in a press conference before IDA-3's launch July 25 from Cape Canaveral aboard the Dragon cargo ship.

During Wednesday's spacewalk, Hague and Morgan connected power and data cables between the space station's Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 and IDA-3. The connectors power sensors, heaters and other mechanisms inside the docking system.

After the spacewalkers installed the first set of cables, astronaut Christina Koch inside the space station commanded a series of 12 hooks to close, completing a firm structural connection between IDA-3 and PMA-3.

Hague and Morgan then routed another set of cables to power IDA-3, removed a thermal cover from the docking adapter, and covered a rendezvous reflector aid on PMA-3 once used by arriving space shuttles. The astronauts added new laser retroreflectors on IDA-3 to be used by rendezvous sensors on Starliner and Crew Dragon spaceships.

The astronauts returned to the Quest module and began repressurizing the airlock at 2:59 p.m. EDT (1829 GMT), bringing the spacewalk to a close.

Hague was designated EV-1, or the lead spacewalker, on Wednesday's excursion. Morgan, on his first spacewalk, was designated EV-2.

Wednesday's spacewalk was the third in Hague's career. With the time accumulated on Wednesday's excursion, Hague has logged 19 hours, 56 minutes, of spacewalking time.

The spacewalk to outfit IDA-3 was the fifth spacewalk conducted from the space station this year, and the 218th spacewalk since 1998 in support of station assembly, maintenance and upgrades, according to NASA.

Uncrewed Soyuz Rocket Launches on Two-Day Trip to Station

Posted Aug 21, 2019 at 11:55 pm


The Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, Aug. 21

The Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft launched at 11:38 p.m. EDT (8:38 a.m. Aug. 22 Baikonur time) from Site 31 at the Cosmodrome on a Soyuz 2.1a booster, which has been used recently to launch uncrewed Russian Progress cargo resupply missions to the space station.

The Soyuz 2.1a booster, equipped with a new digital flight control system and upgraded engines, is replacing the Soyuz FG booster that has been used for decades to launch crews into space. The Soyuz spacecraft will have an upgraded motion control and navigation system, as well as a revamped descent control system.

Instead of crew members, the Soyuz will carry 1,450 pounds of cargo to the Expedition 60 crew currently residing on the orbital outpost.

The Soyuz will navigate to station for an automated docking on the space-facing Poisk module on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 1:30 a.m.  After a two-week stay at the station, the Soyuz will be commanded to undock from the station on Friday, Sept. 6, at 2:13 p.m.

NASA TV coverage of the docking, and undocking activities is as follows:

Saturday, Aug. 24:

• 12:45 a.m. – Docking coverage (docking scheduled for 1:30 a.m.)
  

Friday, Sept. 6:
