Our Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano completed his first mission to the International Space Station in 2013. As he prepares to be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for his second mission – known as Beyond – this month, Luca reflects on his spaceflight experience and how it has shaped his approach. During his first mission, known as Volare, Luca spent 166 days in orbit and undertook two spacewalks. The first one was completed successfully, but the second was dramatically cut short when a water leak threatened to drown Luca inside his helmet. This experience, alongside other challenges he overcame during his mission and on-the-ground training, have helped him not only prepare for a second spaceflight but also to take on the role of International Space Station Commander during the second part of his Beyond mission. Luca is an experienced test pilot who has logged over 2000 hours of flying time on more than 40 different types of aircraft. In addition to Italian, English and French, he also speaks Russian, which is essential to his role as a flight engineer onboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 launched on an eight-day “dress rehearsal” ahead of the Apollo 11 moon landing which would follow two months later. The three-man Apollo 10 crew comprised of Gene Cernan, John Young and Tom Stafford flew to the moon and back in their spacecraft nicknamed “Charlie Brown” and tested several flight parameters that would help ensure successful future trips to the lunar surface.

From the upcoming SpaceRip 4k epic... "Apollo's New Moon" produced by David Sky Brody. July 20th 1969: 49 minutes after Neil Armstrong delivered his “one small step” line, Buzz Aldrin conducted a series of mobility tests to determine the best ways for astronauts to get around the lunar surface. His walkabout was seen live on television screens across planet Earth. Here – presented in 4K video for the first time – is the view from a motion picture camera in the Lunar Module. NASA’s original slow-scan TV stream has been inset for comparison. Buzz’s test ended when Mission Control patched through a call from the President of the United States, Richard Nixon. Suggested Tags: Moonwalk, Apollo 11, Buzz Aldrin, walking on the moon, mobility. Buzz Aldrin: I'd like to evaluate the various paces that a person can (static) traveling on the lunar surface. I believe I'm out of your field-of-view. Is that right, now, Houston? Bruce McCandless CAPCOM (Mission Control): That's affirmative, Buzz. You're in our field-of-view now. Buzz Aldrin: Alright, you do have to be rather careful to keep track of where your center of mass is. Sometimes, it takes about two or three paces to make sure you've got your feet underneath you. About two to three or maybe four easy paces can bring you to a fairly smooth stop. (To) change directions, like a football player, you just have to put a foot out to the side and cut a little bit. The so-called kangaroo hop does work, but it seems as though your forward mobility is not quite as good as it is in the more conventional one foot after another. As far as saying what a sustained pace might be, I think that one that I'm using now would get rather tiring after several hundred (static). But this may be a function of this suit, as well as the lack of gravity forces.

During their time on the International Space Station many astronauts have the opportunity to participate in spacewalks, also known as Extravehicular Activities (EVA). These spacewalks play a critical role in keeping the station functional as it travels approximately 17,500 miles per hour 250 miles above the Earth’s surface. In this episode, Expedition 55/56 Flight Engineer Ricky Arnold talks about the critical parts of the spacesuit that keep astronauts safe as they perform maintenance in the harsh environment surrounding the space station.

The twin study is a revolutionary analysis of the molecular, physiological, and behavioral changes that happens to the human body in space in a year span. This is the first time it's ever been done and we're here to break it down for you. Keep an eye out for "SICK"!

NASA Twins Study Investigators to Release Integrated Paper in 2019 https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-twins-study-investigators-to-release-integrated-paper-in-2019 "Emmanuel Mignot of Stanford University studied the Immunological responses of the twins by introducing them to the flu vaccine preflight, inflight (for Scott) and postflight – each at one year intervals. Following each vaccination, both twins had an increased immune cell response to the flu at comparable levels. This is the expected response, protecting the human body from contracting the flu virus." No, Scott Kelly's Year in Space Didn't Mutate His DNA https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/03/scott-kelly-astronaut-space-station-dna-health-science/ "That these levels of expression haven’t boomeranged to pre-spaceflight values is humongously different than saying Kelly’s DNA didn’t “return to normal after a sojourn in space.” “We had no idea what to expect, and this is the first experiment of its kind, so this sets the bar for future studies of astronauts,” Mason says. “Nonetheless, this number is likely within the range for humans under stress, such as climbing a mountain, or SCUBA diving.” ____________________ Elements is more than just a science show.

https://www.hover.com/CuriousDroid Whilst the internet has become integral to most people's lives it was only in 2010 that the International Space Station could use apps like Twitter because the connection speed was so slow. In fact, communication with spacecraft out past mars becomes very slow and problematic. However, in the future, high-speed internet connections will be available out into the solar system that will not only give coverage of what's available here out there but also dramatically speed up the currently very slow communications to space missions both manned and unmanned. In this video, we look at how this will happen.

Scott Parazysnki is the only NASA astronaut who has both flown in space and successfully climbed to the summit of Mount Everest. Parazynski, 57, joined NASA as an astronaut in 1992. He flew on five Space Shuttle missions, and participated in seven spacewalks. After his first attempt to reach the top of Everest was aborted in 2008 due to a back injury, Parazynski returned the next year, and was successful. Italian astronaut Maurizio Cheli became the second person to both fly in space and summit Everest when he reached the peak in 2018. Parazynski is also a retired physician who has also explored the inside of volcanoes. He's currently the CEO of a start-up that develops flight technology for drones.  MORE SPACE CONTENT: Why NASA Spacesuits Are White https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=damoYDG9rmk What Would Happen If You Traveled Through A Black Hole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOsierqt-pM Exploring Mars Every Day For 15 Years Reveals What It Would Be Like To Go There https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h4zyXnKvW0 ------------------------------------------------------ #NASA #Astronaut #TechInsider Tech Insider tells you all you need to know about tech: gadgets, how-to's, gaming, science, digital culture, and more.

NASA is going to the Moon and on to Mars, in a measured, sustainable way. Working with U.S. companies and international partners, NASA will push the boundaries of human exploration forward to the Moon. NASA is working to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon within the next decade to uncover new scientific discoveries and lay the foundation for private companies to build a lunar economy. A key component of establishing the first permanent American presence and infrastructure on and around the Moon is the Gateway, a lunar orbiting platform to host astronauts farther from Earth than ever before. On the Gateway, America and its partners will prepare to transit deep space, testing new technologies and systems as we build the infrastructure to support missions to the surface of the Moon and prepare for the epochal mission to Mars. NASA also will study the effects of the deep space environment of the Gateway, learning how living organisms react to the radiation and microgravity of a deep space environment over long periods. Right now, NASA is taking steps to begin this next era of exploration. #Moon2Mars Learn more at: https://www.nasa.gov/moontomars This video is available for download from NASA's Image and Video Library: https://images.nasa.gov/details-NHQ_2019_0311_Humans%20Explore%20Farther%E2%94%83Go%20Forward.html

Alexander returned to Earth alongside crew mates Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Sergei Prokopyev on 20 December 2018 in the same Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft that flew them to the Station on 6 June 2018. The trio’s landing in the Kazakh steppe marked the successful conclusion of over six months in space during which Alexander conducted over 60 European experiments, became the second ever European commander of the International Space Station, welcomed six resupply vehicles, installed the first commercial facility for research in the Columbus laboratory, delivered an important message on climate change for leaders at the COP24 climate change conference, captured real-time footage of a Soyuz launch abort and much, much more. #Horizons was Alexander’s second mission to the International Space Station – the first was Blue Dot in 2014. Now back in Cologne, Alexander will take his time to readapt to Earth’s gravity supported by ESA’s team of space medicine experts. He will also continue to provide ground-based data for researchers to support experiments performed in space.
