Departure confirmed!

At 9:36am ET, @NorthropGrumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft departed the @Space_Station. This Cygnus was named SS Alan Bean in honor of the Apollo 12 astronaut who walked on the Moon in 1969 & commanded the second Skylab crew. Watch: https://www.nasa.gov/live

Корабль Cygnus отстыковался от МКС и будет использован для запуска микроспутников

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 31 января. /ТАСС/. Грузовой корабль Cygnus отстыковался в пятницу в 09:36 по времени восточного побережья США (17:36 мск) от Международной космической станции (МКС). Трансляция операции идет на сайте Национального управления по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA).

Впервые операция осуществляется дистанционно: операторы из Центра космических полетов имени Джонсона в Хьюстоне (штат Техас) управляют 17-метровым манипулятором Canadarm 2, который осуществляет отвод корабля от станции, а астронавты NASA Эндрю Морган и Джессика Меир контролируют ход операции и наблюдают за отходом корабля от станции.

Через сутки после отстыковки от МКС с корабля Cygnus с помощью пускового устройства Slingshot будут выведены на орбиты 8 микроспутников CubeSat, предназначенные для обеспечения связи и исследований атмосферы. В конце февраля по команде с Земли корабль начнет маневр торможения, сойдет с орбиты и прекратит существование в плотных слоях атмосферы.

 :

Cygnus состыковался с МКС в начале ноября прошлого года и доставил экипажу 3720 кг грузов, в частности, экспериментальные защитные куртки AstroRad Vest, предназначенные для защиты астронавтов от потока солнечной радиации, новую электропечь Zero G Oven для экспериментов по выпечке изделий в условиях невесомости, а также оборудование для эксперимента Made In Space Recycler по переработке пластиковых отходов с помощью 3D-принтера.

Нынешний полет корабля Cygnus (с лат. "лебедь"; назван в честь одноименного созвездия) - первый в рамках нового контракта NASA с корпорацией Northrop Grumman, в рамках которого в период до 2024 года будет осуществлено минимум шесть запусков грузовых кораблей. В рамках предыдущего контракта было осуществлено 11 запусков к МКС, один запуск был неудачным.

На МКС сейчас работают россияне Александр Скворцов и Олег Скрипочка, американцы Эндрю Морган, Кристина Кук и Джессика Меир, а также представитель Европейского космического агентства итальянец Лука Пармитано.

U.S. Cygnus Space Freighter Departs Station After 88 Days

The U.S. Cygnus space freighter is pictured moments after the Canadarm2 robotic arm released the 12th resupply ship from Northrop Grumman on January 31, 2020.

Northrup Grumman's Cygnus cargo spacecraft departed the International Space Station's at 9:36 a.m. EST after Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Andrew Morgan and Jessica Meir of NASA commanded its release from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. At the time of release, the station was flying about 250 miles over the South Pacific just off the West Coast of Chile.

For this mission, Cygnus demonstrated a new release position for departure operations and incorporated the first ground-controlled release. The new orientation allowed for easier drift away from the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm.

Within 24 hours, Cygnus will begin its secondary mission deploying a series of payloads. The departing spacecraft will move a safe distance away from the space station before deploying a series of CubeSats: HuskySat-1 (University of Washington), SwampSat II (University of Florida), EdgeCube (Sonoma State University), and CIRis (Utah State University).

Northrop Grumman flight controllers in Dulles, Virginia, will initiate its deorbit and execute a safe, destructive reentry into Earth's atmosphere at the end of February. 

The next Cygnus is set to launch to station on Feb. 9 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia carrying another batch of research.

The spacecraft arrived on station November 2 delivering cargo under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract.

ISS Daily Summary Report - 1/30/2020

Electro-static Levitation Furnace (ELF):

 :

The crew removed and cleaned sample cartridge #3 from the ELF and installed a new sample cartridge. The ground then initiated an experiment run. ELF is an experimental facility designed to levitate, melt and solidify materials by containerless processing techniques using the electrostatic levitation method. With this facility thermophysical properties of high temperature melts can be measured and solidification from deeply undercooled melts can be achieved.

Confined Combustion:

 :

The crew continued the experiment using an acrylic sample with a combination of black and transparent baffles to ignite and observe combustion results. This project aims to study flame spread in confined spaces--specifically the interactions between spreading flames and surrounding walls. Flame spread in confined spaces (such as buildings and vehicles) may pose a more serious fire hazard than flame spread in open spaces because of acceleration caused by radiative heat feedback from the surrounding walls and a tunnel flow acceleration effect. However, several aspects of flame spread are difficult to study in normal gravity conditions. Gravity-driven buoyancy flow complicates the fire growth process and prohibits a fundamental understanding of the underlying physics. However, in microgravity, buoyancy is eliminated, allowing scientists to better study the physics of flame spread.

SlingShot:

 :

The crew completed the installation of the SlingShot Deployer onto the closed Cygnus hatch prior to Cygnus release. The Satellites will be deployed after the Cygnus is released from the ISS. Deployment is scheduled for GMT 032. SEOPS' SlingShot is a small satellite deployment system that fits inside the Cygnus spacecraft's Passive Common Berthing Mechanism (PCBM). SlingShot can accommodate up to 18 satellites that are deployed post Cygnus unberth.

Hourglass:

 :

The crew installed the Hourglass box into the CBEF 1g Centrifuge and the ground initiated an experiment run. The Hourglass investigation examines the relationship between gravity and the behavior of granular materials such as regolith that covers the surface of planets and planetary-like bodies. Researchers observe various granular materials inside an hourglass and a measuring cylinder under different gravity conditions. Better understanding of the behavior of these materials supports the design of spacecraft for future missions landing on the surfaces of planets and other celestial bodies.

Vascular Aging:

 :

The crew completed right leg femoral artery ultrasound scans and Blood Pressure measurements in support of the Vascular Aging Experiment. Emerging data point towards linkages among cardiovascular health risk, carotid artery aging, bone metabolism and blood biomarkers, insulin resistance, and radiation. Data indicate that aging-like changes are accelerated in many ISS crew members, particularly with respect to their arteries. As part of the Space Environment Causes Acceleration of Vascular Aging: Roles of Hypogravity, Nutrition, and Radiation (Vascular Aging) investigation, ultrasounds of the arteries, blood samples, oral glucose tolerance, and wearable sensors from ISS crew members are analyzed.

Northrop Grumman 12 (NG-12) Departure Preparation:

 :

Today, the crew closed the Cygnus hatch, installed the starboard and port Controller Panel Assemblies (CPAs), re-installed the Node 1 Nadir thermal cover and closed the Node 1 Nadir hatch. The crew then completed the Pressure Management Device (PMD) setup for the N1n vestibule depress tomorrow morning. Cygnus unberth is scheduled for tomorrow morning with release at 14:35 GMT (8:35 AM CT).
