63 Commander Chris Cassidy sets up an Astrobee robotic assistant, one of a trio of cube-shaped, free-flying robots, for a test of its mobility and vision system.

NASA's International Space Station commander configured robotic assistants today while continuing to get ready for next week's U.S. cargo craft departure. The two Expedition 63 Flight Engineers from Roscosmos explored advanced space photography techniques and inventoried electronics gear.

Three-time space visitor Chris Cassidy is readying a trio of cube-shaped, free-flying robotic assistants for upcoming operations. The NASA astronaut and Navy captain swapped batteries in the advanced devices being tested for their ability to autonomously navigate the station and service small payloads. The program dubbed Astrobee is researching the potential of small robots to perform routine duties and monitor activities freeing up crew time for critical science.

A U.S. space freighter will leave the station Monday after nearly three months attached to the Unity module. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus resupply ship will be released from the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm at noon EDT on Monday completing its cargo mission.

Not only is Cygnus being packed with trash, but Cassidy prepared it for secondary missions to research space fires and deploy a set of CubeSats. Once Cygnus reaches a safe distance from the orbital lab, a small satellite deployer configuring on its hatch will eject a pair of nanosatellites. The shoe box-sized research satellites will research ways to improve space communication techniques and GPS mapping systems.

Over in the Russian segment, cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner concentrated on their set of tasks to maintain station operations. Ivanishin, who is on his third station mission, started his day with Vagner studying techniques to accurately detect and locate landmarks to improve Earth observations.

Ivanishin then spent the rest of the day servicing Russian life support gear and communications systems. First-time station resident Vagner inventoried electrical gear and checked network connections throughout the station's five Russian modules.

Nearly three months after delivering several tons of supplies and scientific experiments to the International Space Station, Northrup Grumman's unpiloted Cygnus cargo craft is scheduled to depart the International Space Station on Monday, May 11.

Live coverage of the spacecraft's release will air on NASA Television and the agency's website beginning at 11:45 a.m. EDT, with release scheduled for noon.

Dubbed the "SS Robert H. Lawrence," Cygnus arrived at the station Feb. 18 with supplies and science experiments following its launch on Northrup Grumman's Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.

Flight controllers on the ground will send commands to robotically detach Cygnus from the Earth-facing port of the Unity module, maneuver it into place, and release it from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Station commander Christopher Cassidy of NASA will monitor Cygnus' systems as it moves away from the orbiting laboratory.

Within 24 hours of its release, Cygnus will begin its secondary mission, hosting the Spacecraft Fire Safety Experiment – IV (Saffire-IV), which provides an environment to safely study fire in microgravity. It also will deploy a series of payloads. Northrop Grumman flight controllers in Dulles, Virginia, will initiate Cygnus' deorbit to burn up in Earth's atmosphere Monday, May 25.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 5/06/2020

Astrobee battery charge:

Спойлер

In preparation for the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge activities which start in the next few weeks, the crew charged several of the batteries used by the Astrobee robots. The Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (Robo-Pro Challenge), also known as Kibo-RPC, allows students to create programs to control Astrobee, a free-flying robot aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This opportunity provides hands-on experience with science, technology, engineering and mathematics in space and inspires the next generation of explorers. This activity is based on Japan-U.S. cooperation through the Japan-US Open platform Partnership Program (JP-US OP3).

Payload NAS (Network Attached Storage) cable swap:

Спойлер

The crew swapped the location of the 2 Ethernet cables on the PL NAS in an attempt to recover its connection to the network. The activity was not successful, but this was not totally unexpected due to a suspected faulty cable, and the on-going PEHG-1 (Payload Ethernet Hub Gateway) issues. The team is assessing a forward plan. The Payload NAS is a file server with 5 hard drive bays that provides a total of 20 terabytes of raw disk space when used with 4 terabyte hard drives. Among other capabilities, the PL NAS supports user file transfers from their machine via web browser, and allows onboard ISS systems to access a shared folder location on the NAS.

Slingshot:

Спойлер

Two connector reconfigurations were planned for today. The crew was able to perform a middle bracket connector reconfiguration (reclocking) and get it in an acceptable configuration. Unfortunately, there was not enough time remaining to perform the second cable activity and it will be replanned. These reconfigurations are needed to support the planned Slingshot activities following NG-13 undock. 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.

Node 2 Firewall Replacement:

Спойлер

Today the crew swapped out a failed firewall, a network security device, with an onboard spare and powered it on for the ground to perform reconfiguration steps. The failed unit was a backup firewall for the Node 2 Edge Router. During a recent Joint Station LAN (JSL) firewall health and status check, the firewall failed to come back online following a reboot.

Lab Starboard 6 (LAB1S6) Cabin Fan Temperature Control Troubleshooting:

Спойлер

Today the crew adjusted the Lab S6 Common Cabin Air Assembly (CCAA) Manual Flow Control Valve (MFCV) as part of temperature control troubleshooting. The CCAA circulates, cools, and dehumidifies air in the USOS segment. Recently the Lab cabin temperature has been drifting slightly above the cabin setpoint, even with maximum airflow through the S6 CCAA Heat Exchanger. The MFCV was adjusted to a closed position and then re-opened. This adjustment is the first of several to acquire long term data trends.

Posted May 7, 2020 at 2:20 pm


The U.S. Cygnus cargo craft (left) from the United States departs the station on Monday. The H-II Transfer Vehicle (right) from Japan arrives at the station on May 25.

The Expedition 63 crew will monitor the departure of an American resupply ship on Monday and welcome a Japanese cargo craft when it arrives two weeks later. Meanwhile, the three International Space Station residents are configuring the orbital lab for the spaceship activities and continuing microgravity science.

Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter is nearing the end of its stay attached to the Unity module. Robotics controllers on the ground will command the Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach Cygnus from Unity then release the U.S. cargo craft on Monday noon EDT. NASA Commander Chris Cassidy will finalize the installation of the SlingShot small satellite deployer on Cygnus' hatch on Sunday.

NASA TV will begin its live broadcast of Cygnus' release and departure at 11:45 a.m. on Monday. Cygnus will reenter the Earth's atmosphere over the south Pacific for a safe, but fiery destruction at the end of the month.

Japan is targeting May 20 for the launch of its ninth station cargo mission aboard the H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 (HTV-9) resupply ship. The HTV-9 will launch from the Tanegashima Space Center and a take five-day trip to the orbital lab. It will be captured with the Canadarm2 and installed to the Harmony module for a two-month stay.

NASA Commander Chris Cassidy is setting up HTV-9 communications gear today inside the Kibo laboratory module from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). The Proximity Communication Systems (PROX) sends and receives spacecraft location and speed data during approach and rendezvous operations.

The two cosmonauts continued their set of maintenance and science duties today over in the station's Russian segment. Anatoly Ivanishin picked up a camera for more photo inspections in the Pirs and Poisk modules. The veteran cosmonaut then serviced power tools and life support gear. Ivan Vagner started his day cleaning vents and filters. In the afternoon, Vagner photographed the effects of Earth catastrophes and studied ways to improve the identification and location while picturing targets on the ground.

JAXA Wireless Access point:

Спойлер

In support of the Wireless Access Point checkout, the crew installed the JEM Infrared (IR) camera, Ethernet extender, and associated hardware onto the MPEP (Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform) on the JEMAL (JEM airlock) slide table. The airlock was depressurized and the ground prepared for a checkout of the systems. This activity is in support of the future HTV wireless LAN demo. HTV Wireless LAN Demonstration (HTV WLAN Demo) will demonstrate real-time wireless video transfer between the International Space Station (ISS) and a visiting spacecraft. Autonomous docking technology is important for future missions, such as to the Moon and Mars, that will be unable to rely on human operations the same way as current vehicle logistics. Stable and high-rate data transfer is critical to the real-time video monitoring required for docking.

Slingshot:

Спойлер

The crew worked on the controller data cables today. These cables are attached to the slingshot controller which is inside Cygnus – the 2 cables were taped side-by-side, jumpers were installed at the appropriate connector locations, then selected pins were continuity checked. This reconfiguration is needed to support the planned Slingshot activities following NG-13 undock. 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.

Cygnus Ready for Science After Departure, Commander Takes Break

Mark Garcia
Posted May 8, 2020 at 12:14 pm


The wispy atmospheric layer of the air glow crowns the Earth's horizon in this nighttime photograph from the International Space Station as it orbited over the South Atlantic Ocean.

Northrop Grumman's Cygnus resupply ship is packed for departure on Monday and will continue more science before its ultimate demise at the end of May. Meanwhile, two Expedition 63 Flight Engineers are maintaining International Space Station operations as the Commander takes a break today.

NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy is relaxing today ahead of this weekend's activities to ready a U.S. space freighter for its robotic release on Monday at noon EDT. NASA TV will begin its live coverage of the cargo ship's release from the Canadarm2 robotic arm beginning at 11:45 a.m.

The space veteran spent the week loading up the Cygnus space freighter with trash and preparing it for more science. Shortly after its departure, a controlled fire will be lit inside Cygnus for ongoing research into space fire safety. Next, tiny space research satellites, also known as CubeSats,  will be deployed outside the vehicle to improve space communications and GPS mapping technology.

Robotics controllers also attached the popular, but now-defunct HDEV (High Definition Earth Viewing) experiment on the outside of Cygnus for disposal. HDEV reached its end-of-life last year after five years in service providing live views of Earth to over 300 million viewers. The U.S. cargo craft will reenter Earth's atmosphere at the end of the month for a fiery, but safe disposal above the South Pacific.

Cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner started Friday studying how the heart adapts to a specialized suit that reverses the pooling of blood and water in a crewmember's head caused by microgravity. They also took turns with an ongoing study that seeks to improve the detection and location of Earth landmarks for photography.

Ivanishin, a veteran of two previous station missions, then updated station inventory with the new cargo recently delivered aboard the Progress 75 cargo ship. Vagner, a first-time space flyer, collected radiation measurements and inspected the Zvezda service module's windows.

Космический корабль Cygnus в понедельник покинет МКС
11.05.2020 0:09:55

Вашингтон. 11 мая. ИНТЕРФАКС - Американский грузовой космический корабль Cygnus ("Сигнус") корпорации Northrop Grumman после почти трехмесячного пребывания в составе Международной космической станции (МКС) в понедельник должен отстыковаться от нее и отправиться в автономный полет, сообщает Национальное управление США по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA).

Операция по отстыковке "грузовика" от американского сегмента станции - модуля Unity намечена на 12:00 по времени Восточного побережья США (19:00 мск). С помощью 17-метровой дистанционной руки-манипулятора Canadarm-2 корабль будет отведен от станции на безопасное расстояние и выпущен в автономный полет.

Корабль заберет с собой со станции мусор и отходы общим весом около 2,5 тонн.

После расстыковки с МКС Cygnus выведет на орбиту малые исследовательские спутники, а на его борту планируется устроить пожар для изучения условий распространения огня в невесомости.

29 или 30 мая по командам с центра управления полетами Northrop Grumman корабль Cygnus будет сведен с орбиты и сгорит в плотных слоях атмосферы.

Спойлер

Как сообщалось, выведенный на орбиту в феврале с помощью ракеты-носителя Antares "грузовик" Cygnus доставил на МКС около 3,7 тонн груза, в том числе продовольствие, а также оборудование и материалы для проведения десятков научных исследований.

Миссия была осуществлена в рамках коммерческого контракта NASA с корпорацией Northrop Grumman, которой принадлежит ракета-носитель и автоматический грузовой космический корабль.

Это уже 13-й полет космического "грузовика" корпорации Northrop Grumman к МКС. Был также еще один неудачный запуск в 2014 году, когда корабль не долетел до станции вследствие аварии ракеты-носителя Antares. Первый успешный запуск Cygnus состоялся 18 сентября 2013 года.

Posted May 11, 2020 at 9:55 am


The Cygnus space freighter is pictured moments after its release from the Canadarm2 robotic arm on January 31, 2020.

Nearly three months after delivering several tons of scientific experiments and supplies to the International Space Station, Northrop Grumman's autonomous Cygnus cargo craft is scheduled to depart the International Space Station on Monday, May 11.

Live coverage of the spacecraft's release will air on NASA Television and the agency's website beginning at 11:45 a.m. EDT, with release scheduled for 12:08 p.m.

Flight controllers on the ground will send commands to robotically detach Cygnus from the Earth-facing port of the Unity module, maneuver it into place, and release it from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Station commander Christopher Cassidy of NASA will monitor Cygnus' systems as it moves away from the orbiting laboratory.

Dubbed the "SS Robert H. Lawrence," Cygnus arrived at the station Feb. 18 for the company's 13th cargo mission with about 7,500 pounds of supplies and science experiments ranging from research with cell cultures and bone loss to demonstration of a new miniature scanning electron microscope (SEM) with spectroscopy. Cygnus launched on Northrop Grumman's Antares rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.
