Japanese Cargo Craft Completes Station Mission

Japan's HTV-9 resupply ship is on its own after being released from the Canadarm2 robotic arm completing a three-month cargo mission at the station.

Eleven years after the launch of the first H-II Transfer cargo vehicle (HTV) to the International Space Station, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA's) HTV-9 departed the orbital laboratory today at 1:36 p.m. EDT.

Earlier today, flight controllers operating from NASA's Mission Control Center at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston used the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach the cargo spacecraft from the station's Harmony module, then moved the spacecraft into its release position. Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy of NASA used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the spacecraft from the station at 1:35 p.m., ending its three-month stay.

This was the final station departure of JAXA's first-generation Kounotori, or "white stork," cargo craft, nine of which have delivered more than 40 tons of supplies to space station crews.  JAXA is developing a new fleet of HTV cargo craft, the HTV-X, which is targeted for its first launch in 2022.

The spacecraft launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan on May 20, arriving May 25 to deliver about four tons of supplies and experiments to the orbital complex, including new lithium-ion batteries that were used to upgrade the station's power systems. The new-technology batteries were installed through a series of spacewalks along the far port truss "backbone" of the station.

HTV-9 will be commanded by JAXA flight controllers at its HTV control center in Tsukuba, Japan, to move away from the station and, on Aug. 20, to fire its deorbit engine in a burn that will send it back into Earth's atmosphere. Loaded with trash from the space station, the spacecraft will burn up harmlessly over the Pacific Ocean.

For nearly 20 years, astronauts have continuously lived and work on the space station, testing technologies, performing science and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. As a global endeavor, 240 people from 19 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory that has hosted more than 3,000 research and educational investigations from researchers in 108 countries and areas.

Пока, пока, «Белый аист»!

Вчера вечером мы с @Astro_SEAL с помощью манипулятора Canadarm2 расстыковали Японский грузовой корабль #HTV9 (#Kounotori9 -- «Белый аист 9»), последний в своей серии.

Как всегда, это были яркие моменты и красивые виды.

Космические гости или как я снимал новый timelapse

Друзья, давно у нас не было timelapse-видео, исправляю ситуацию! Самый пик Полярного сияния над Антарктидой в долготе Австралии, т.е. во время полёта между ними. Но на видео вы увидите нечто иное, не только само сияние...

На 9-12 секундах появляются 5 объектов, летящие параллельным курсом и на одинаковом расстоянии друг от друга. Как вы считаете, что это может быть -- метеоры, спутники или...?

P.S. Кадры делались 1 раз в секунду, а потом собирались в видео 25 кадров/сек. То есть реальное время наблюдения объектов составляет 52 секунды.

P.P.S. Информация доведена до руководства Госкорпорации «Роскосмос». Материалы переданы в ЦНИИмаш и ИКИ РАН для анализа.

Space Traffic Clear at Station Until October

Mark Garcia
Posted Aug 19, 2020 at 11:12 am


Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy applies a mission sticker inside the space station to signify the departure of Japan's HTV-9 resupply ship from the U.S. Harmony module.

The Expedition 63 crew has turned its attention toward space science and lab maintenance after releasing a Japanese cargo craft from the International Space Station on Tuesday. More cargo and crew missions to replenish the orbiting lab are planned for October.

Commander Chris Cassidy switched off communications gear today used to send commands to Japan's H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 (HTV-9) after its departure on Tuesday. The HTV-9 will orbit Earth until Thursday morning when it descends into the atmosphere for a fiery, but safe demise over the South Pacific.

The NASA commander spent the rest of the day working on orbital plumbing and life support gear. Cassidy removed and replaced the Waste and Hygiene Compartment's recycle tank located in the Tranquility module. He also inspected out gear that analyzes organic compounds in the station's air.

Veteran station cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin focused on battery work as he installed current converters throughout the lab's Russian segment. First-time cosmonaut Ivan Vagner spent Wednesday morning working on more orbital plumbing before exploring ways to improve Earth photography techniques and determine how mission events impact the orbiting lab.

Space traffic will be clear at the space station for the rest of August and into September. The mission pace will pick back up in October with a U.S. Cygnus cargo ship from Northrop Grumman, the Expedition 64 crew and the SpaceX Crew-1 mission all to set to arrive within a period of three weeks.

ISS Daily Summary Report - 8/18/2020

Astrobee:

 Скрытый текст:

The crew powered up the Astrobee free flyers and cleared away and stowed items within the JEM module in preparation for Astrobee flyer operations. Astrobee is made up of three free-flying, cube-shaped robots which are designed to help scientists and engineers develop and test technologies for use in microgravity to assist astronauts with routine chores, and give ground controllers additional eyes and ears on the space station. The autonomous robots, powered by fans and vision-based navigation, perform crew monitoring, sampling, logistics management, and accommodate up to three investigations.

HTV9 Unberth:

 Скрытый текст:

Today, both the crew and ground controllers worked together to prepare the HTV9 for unberth. The crew activities included a Node 2 vestibule configuration for demate, followed by the depress of the Node 2 deck vestibule using the Pressurized Management Device (PMD). The ground team utilized the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to maneuver the HTV9 vehicle for release from the ISS. The crew completed release of HTV9 at 12:36 pm CT and atmospheric reentry over the south Pacific is planned for Thursday morning.

Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) Portable Emergency Provisions (PEPS) Inspection:

 Скрытый текст:

Today, the crew performed the periodic PEP inspection, which involves utilizing a PEPs matrix and inspecting various emergency provisions such as the Portable Fire Extinguisher (PFE), Portable Breathing Apparatus (PBA), Quick Don Mask (QDM), and Extension Hose Tee Assemblies at multiple locations throughout the space station. The crew spends several minutes on each item and notes any visible damage.  Inspections are performed routinely to ensure the PEPs are in good operational condition.

Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform (MPEP):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew removed the Handhold Experiment Platform adapter from the MPEP and then removed the MPEP from the JEM Airlock slide table. Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform provides the structural backbone for deployers when being transferred to the outside via the Kibo airlock and grasped by the JRMS robotic arm.

ISS HAM:

 Скрытый текст:

The crew initiated a HAM contact with Kopernik Observatory & Science Center in Vestal, NY. ISS Ham Radio provides opportunities to engage and educate students, teachers, parents and other members of the community in science, technology, engineering and math by providing a means to communicate between astronauts and the ground HAM radio units.

Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOCA) Preventative Maintenance:

 Скрытый текст:

Today, the crew installed the spare TOCA in the LAB to perform a functional checkout. The crew also installed a new Waste Water Bag (WWB) and Buffer Container Packet. The buffer container from the prime TOCA was moved to the backup TOCA, and a new buffer container was installed into the prime TOCA. The checkout is performed every two years to ensure functionality of the TOCA in the event of a failure with the prime unit. The buffer container is also replaced every 47 samples or two years. The crew confirmed there was no evidence of a leak in the spare TOCA.

Regenerative Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) Recycle Tank Remove and Replace (R&R):

 Скрытый текст:

Today, the crew performed a changeout of the Regenerative ECLSS recycle tank as part of routine operations. Recycle tanks are reusable bladders that hold resultant brine following waste processing from the Urine Processing Assembly (UPA). The recycle tank is replaced every six months as part of preventive maintenance to ensure continued performance and preclude a functional failure.
