"Well done, well-captured, way to make it look easy," spacecraft communicator Brandon Lloyd radioed from mission control in Houston.

"To all the teams around the world, we welcome to the ISS the Dragon spacecraft," said David Saint-Jacques, a Canadian Space Agency flight engineer who controlled the space station's Canadian-built robotic arm for this morning's capture.

"Dragon left Cape Canaveral two days ago and brings to ISS more than 2,500 kilos of supplies, equipment and scientific equipments from institutions and companies around the world.

"As a Canadian, I'm proud every time we use Canadarm 2 for free-flyer capture," Saint-Jacques said.

NASA officials asked SpaceX last week to delay the Dragon's launch from Cape Canaveral by two days to allow time for ground controllers to replace a failed power distribution box outside the space station. The main bus distribution unit was replaced using the robotic arm and the Canadian-built Dextre robot, restoring a backup power supply to the arm in preparation for today's capture sequence.

"Even before the launch, Canadian robotics was involved in repairs to the ISS power system that were required for today's operations," Saint-Jacques said. "The extra efforts of the joint Canadian and U.S. operations and engineering teams working around the clock saved the day. Such is the value of the partnership of this international program."

Dragon пристыковался к МКС

Корабль доставил на станцию более 2,5 т грузов

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 6 мая. /ТАСС/. Грузовой корабль Dragon, созданный компанией SpaceX, совершил в понедельник стыковку с Международной космической станцией (МКС).

Захват корабля и его подводка к шлюзовому люку модуля Harmony были осуществлены с помощью дистанционного манипулятора Canadarm 2. Трансляция велась на сайте NASA.

Это 17-й коммерческий полет с целью снабжения МКС, выполняемый SpaceX по заказу NASA. Dragon доставил на станцию более 2,5 т грузов - продовольствие, оборудование и материалы для проведения нескольких десятков научных экспериментов, запланированных на период экспедиции МКС-59/60. В том числе такие приборы, как Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 и Space Test Program-Houston 6.

Как ранее сообщили представители NASA, OCO-3 планируется установить на корпусе МКС для того, чтобы измерять содержание углекислого газа в атмосфере Земли. STP-H6 предназначен для демонстрации в условиях космоса новой технологии генерации пучков переменного рентгеновского излучения. "Эта технология может оказаться полезной для обеспечения надежной связи с зондами или гиперзвуковыми аппаратами, когда плазменная оболочка, возникающая при гиперзвуковых скоростях, блокирует прохождение обычного радиосигнала", - пояснило космическое ведомство США.

Для нынешней миссии используется возвращаемая капсула Dragon, уже совершавшая полет в августе 2017 года. На этот раз корабль стартовал в субботу с космодрома на мысе Канаверал с помощью ракеты-носителя Falcon-9. Через четыре недели он будет отстыкован от МКС и приводнится в Тихом океане у побережья Калифорнии.

SpaceX Cargo Craft Attached to Station

May 6, 2019: International Space Station Configuration. Six spaceships are docked at the space station including the SpaceX Dragon, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter and Russia's Progress 71 and 72 resupply ships and the Soyuz MS-11 and MS-12 crew ships.

Two days after its launch from Florida, the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft was installed on the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station's Harmony module at 9:32 a.m. EDT.

The 17th contracted commercial resupply mission from SpaceX (CRS-17) delivers more than 5,500 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware to the orbiting laboratory.

Here's some of the science arriving at station:

Scientists are using a new technology called tissue chips, which could help predict the effectiveness of potential medicines in humans. Fluid that mimics blood can be passed through the chip to simulate blood flow, and can include drugs or toxins. In microgravity, changes occur in human health and human cells that resemble accelerated aging and disease processes. This investigation allows scientists to make observations over the course of a few weeks in microgravity rather than the months it would take in a laboratory on Earth.

The Hermes facility allows scientists to study the dusty, fragmented debris covering asteroids and moons, called regolith. Once installed by astronauts on the space station, scientists will be able to take over the experiment from Earth to study how regolith particles behave in response to long-duration exposure to microgravity, including changes to pressure, temperate and shocks from impacts and other forces. The investigations will provide insight into the formation and behavior of asteroids, comets, impact dynamics and planetary evolution.

These are just a few of the hundreds of investigations that will help us learn how to keep astronauts healthy during long-duration space travel and demonstrate technologies for future human and robotic exploration beyond low-Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars. Space station research also provides opportunities for other U.S. government agencies, private industry, and academic and research institutions to conduct microgravity research that leads to new technologies, medical treatments, and products that improve life on Earth.

After Dragon spends approximately one month attached to the space station, the spacecraft will return to Earth with about XX pounds of cargo and research.

ISS Daily Summary Report - 5/03/2019

SpaceX (SpX)-17 Launch:

 Скрытый текст:

Today's planned SpX-17 launch was scrubbed due to an issue with the recovery drone ship. There will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 1:48 AM CT with a corresponding planned arrival to ISS on Monday, May 5 at 6:00 AM CT.

Rodent Research-12 (RR-12):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew restocked Rodent Habitats 3 and 4 and completed Mass Measurement Injection activities. The crew also replaced food bars in Habitats 1 and 2. Rodent Research-12, Tetanus Antibody Response by B cells in Space (TARBIS), examines the effects of spaceflight on the function of antibody production and immune memory. Spaceflight has a dramatic influence on immune response, but there is little research on its effect following an actual challenge to the body's immune system. Using a mouse model makes this possible, as the mouse immune system closely parallels that of humans.

The ISS Experience:

 Скрытый текст:

The crew performed the ISS Experience hardware setup in the US LAB to record on-orbit operations including an introduction prior to crew activities. The ISS Experience creates a virtual reality film documenting daily life aboard the ISS. The 8 to 10 minute videos created fr om footage taken during the six-month investigation cover different aspects of crew life, execution of science aboard the station, and the international partnerships involved. The ISS Experience uses a Z-CAM V1 Pro Cinematic Virtual Reality (VR) 360-degree camera with nine 190° fisheye lenses.

Thermal Amine System (TAS):

 Скрытый текст:

Thermal Amine and was scrubbing carbon dioxide (CO2) when it experienced a shutdown yesterday due to high pressure in one of the beds. The system attempted to go into safe mode, however, not all power was removed as expected so console teams commanded the hardware into safe mode. Teams believe the shutdown could be due to slow valve travel and pressure equalization between beds. Troubleshooting was initiated and is ongoing.

Dragon Robotics On-Board Trainer (RoBOT) On-Board Training (OBT):

 Скрытый текст:

In preparation for Dragon capture, scheduled on Monday, the crew performed the 2nd session of RoBOT training. During today's session, they completed three Capture Point Hold runs allowing them to practice free drift timing, malfunction response and nominal rate approaches.

Public Affairs Office (PAO) Event:

 Скрытый текст:

Today Nick and Christina reordered downlink messages in support of the following upcoming PAO events:

[/li]
• On Saturday, July 20, 2019, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, MA, will host a special commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and moon landing. Approximately 450-500 people are expected to attend this free event wh ere the recorded video message from the International Space Station will be aired.
• Today's message will be used during this year's Space Camp Hall of Fame Induction.

This morning, just two days following its nighttime launch from the Florida coast, SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft was captured and installed on the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station's Harmony module at 9:32 a.m. EDT.

Expedition 59 astronauts David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency and Nick Hague of NASA successfully employed the space station's robotic arm to grapple Dragon at 7:01 a.m., which brings the number of spaceships docked at the space station to six. Other vehicles visiting include Russia's Progress 71 and 72 resupply ships and the Soyuz MS-11 and MS-12 crew ships, as well as Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter.

Dragon's arrival heralds a busy week for the crew. Today, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch unpacked and activated time-critical experiments after completing checkout of the spacecraft. Fresh biological samples, such as kidney cells, were stowed in science freezers and incubators for later analysis. New lab mice were also quickly transferred and housed in specialized habitats to enhance research for an immune system study that aims to keep astronauts healthy for long-duration missions in space, which will become even more commonplace as our destinations extend to the Moon and beyond.

SpaceX's 17th cargo flight to the space station under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract supports dozens of new and existing investigations. NASA's research and development work aboard the space station contributes to the agency's deep space exploration plans, including returning astronauts to the Moon's surface in five years.

This latest commercial cargo delivery refreshed the orbiting laboratory with 5,500 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware.
