Soyuz TMA-50a crew have started the final phase of their trainings for the flight to the International Space Station (ISS). The main crew of ISS-57 Expedition consists of ROSCOSMOS cosmonaut Alexey OVCHININ and NASA astronaut Nick HAGUE. Their backups are ROSCOSMOS cosmonaut Оleg KONONENKO and CSA astronaut David SAINT-JACQUES. Cosmonauts and astronauts tried on their flight spacesuits, and performed their leak test. After taking their places in the vehicle cosmonauts and astronauts tested the radio communication system, laser ranging system, got familiar with the onboard data files, studied the flight program and a list of cargo to be delivered to the ISS and their accommodation locations in the vehicle. During the final training sessions at the launch site training of the space vehicle manual proximity operations to the ISS, audit of science hardware sets, testing of upcoming ballistic operations and other preparatory procedures are also planned. This very day, a Technical Management meeting was held, where a decision was taken to fuel Soyuz TMA-50a with propellant components and compressed gases. The launch of Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with Soyuz TMA-50a with the crew of the next Expedition to the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for October 11, 2018 from the Baikonur launch site.

Space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin revealed that the hole in a Russian space craft docked at the orbiting station was caused by a drill held with a 'wavering hand'. A commission will seek to identify the culprit by name, Rogozin said, calling this a 'matter of honour' for Russia's Energia space manufacturing company that made the Soyuz space craft. The 'micro fracture' believed to be around 2mm wide in the $150 billion (£115 billion) space station was discovered after astronauts noticed a drop in pressure on 29 August. Sources suggest the question of how to fix the hole – potentially caused by 'deliberate interference' – may have strained relations between Moscow and Houston.

Behold, the Earth! See live views of Earth from the International Space Station coming to you by NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment. While the experiment is operational, views will typically sequence through the different cameras. If you are seeing a black image, the Space Station is on the night side of the Earth. If you are seeing an image with text displayed, the communications are switching between satellites and camera feeds are temporarily unavailable. Between camera switches, a black & gray slate will also briefly appear. The experiment was activated on April 30, 2014 and is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. This experiment includes several commercial HD video cameras aimed at the Earth which are enclosed in a pressurized and temperature controlled housing. To learn more about the HDEV experiment, visit: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/ Please note: The HDEV cycling of the cameras will sometimes be halted, causing the video to only show select camera feeds. This is handled by the HDEV team, and is only scheduled on a temporary basis. Nominal video will resume once the team has finished their scheduled event.

This timelapse video shows still pictures taken from the International Space Station of the departing #Dragon supply spacecraft. Played in quick succession the video displays faster than real life but in 4K resolution. The Dragon spacecraft was released from the Station’s robotic arm at 18:38 GMT on 3 August 2018. Thrusters fired to increase its distance from the Space Station and the spacecraft started its deorbit and return to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean less than seven hours after release. The International Space Station flies at 28 800 km/h above our planet doing a complete orbit in around 90 minutes – during release operations the sun set and rose above the horizon many times. As Dragon faded into the distance it flew over a stormy part of Earth – lightning flashes can be seen many kilometres below. Dragon is the only spacecraft that can return to Earth with scientific cargo aside from the Soyuz spacecraft that ferries astronauts to space and back – this flight carried over 1700 kg of cargo.

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor commanded the International Space Station’s 16-m robotic arm to release a #Cygnus supply spacecraft to burn up harmlessly over Earth. The duo set up the robotic workstation in the European-built Cupola module to follow operations from the observatory. You can see Alexander opening the protective shutters from a window at the start of the video. The spacecraft was released at 14:17 GMT on 15 July 2018 as the International Space Station flew over Colombia. Cygnus spent two weeks orbiting Earth on its own allowing engineers to conduct tests as well as releasing a series of miniature satellites before ending its mission.

Look inside Boeing’s Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, the commercial spacecraft that will fly astronauts from the U.S. to the International Space Station for the first time since 2011.

NASA recently announced who will be flying on the first commercial crew flights and both Boeing and SpaceX are racing to get their spaceships, their launch sites AND their spacesuits ready to return humans to space from US soil. Boeing’s spaceship is the CST-100 Starliner, a capsule shaped spacecraft that can fly up to 7 astronauts to space. For NASA missions to the International Space Station, it will fly up to 4 astronauts at a time, filling the rest of the capsule with cargo. The Starliner will launch on top of perhaps the most reliable rocket ever made. ULA’s Atlas V with 2 strap on solid rocket motors and 2 RL-10 upper stage engines. A configuration that an Atlas 5 has never actually flown before, but all the hardware has been flown many times throughout history.

The U.S. might temporarily lose access to the International Space Station. Boeing and SpaceX are unlikely to provide NASA with vehicles needed to transport astronauts to the ISS. Starting in late 2019, the U.S. might not have a crew aboard the ISS for nearly an entire year. Gizmodo reports that this leaves NASA’s Commercial Crew Program in jeopardy. A plan is needed to ensure uninterrupted access to the International Space Station. In 2014, NASA signed contracts with Boeing and SpaceX to develop vehicles capable of transporting astronauts. https://gizmodo.com/america-could-lose-its-access-to-the-international-spac-1827576435 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Mark Vande Hei joined us in the Moving Beyond Earth gallery to talk about their recent six-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS).

As part of ESA’s Expose-R2 project, 46 species of bacteria, fungi and arthropods were delivered by a Progress supply ship to the International Space Station in July 2014. Spacewalking cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev attached the package to the outside of the Zvezda module on 18 August 2014, where it stayed until it was retrieved 18 months later. This ‘Expose-R2’ is a miniature photochemistry laboratory that exposes samples to the harsh environment of space. Subjected to the full blast of the Sun’s energy as well as vacuum, radiation and temperature swings, they are helping researchers investigating how chemicals and microbiological life react to unprotected spaceflight – on a comet, for example. Previous Expose experiments have already shown that ‘water bears’ and a species of lichen can survive a trip into space. This video shows scenes from a spacewalk with cosmonauts Gennadi Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko who were asked to photograph the Expose-R2 facility half-way through its stay in space, 10 August 2015 – the samples had travelled around the world more than 8500 times by then. Expose-R2 was returned inside the International Space Station Station by Yuri Malenchenko and Sergei Volkov during a spacewalk on 3 February 2016 and stored ahead of return to Earth. The samples were held in sealed compartments and covered to block out all light. The vacuum of space is sucking out the water, oxygen and other gases in the samples. Their temperature can drop to –12°C as the Station passes through Earth’s shadow, rising to 40°C at other times, and undergoing a similar process to the freeze-drying used to preserve foods. The Expose series of experiments are exploring the limits of terrestrial life, whether the organisms can survive in space and how the full blast of solar radiation is affecting accompanying chemicals. Earth is protected from the Sun’s full radiation by our atmosphere filtering out the hard-hitting short wavelengths that are damaging to life. It is difficult to recreate on the ground the full spectrum of the Sun’s light so these experiments in space are the only way to test how biological and material samples behave in conditions beyond Earth. ESA has a long history of testing organisms and organic chemicals in the harsh environment of space. Previous experiments revealed that lichens and water bears can survive spaceflight unprotected, hinting at the possibility of species colonising planets via meteoroids. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe

Behold, the Earth! See live views of Earth from the International Space Station coming to you by NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment. While the experiment is operational, views will typically sequence through the different cameras. If you are seeing a black image, the Space Station is on the night side of the Earth. If you are seeing an image with text displayed, the communications are switching between satellites and camera feeds are temporarily unavailable. Between camera switches, a black & gray slate will also briefly appear. The experiment was activated on April 30, 2014 and is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. This experiment includes several commercial HD video cameras aimed at the Earth which are enclosed in a pressurized and temperature controlled housing. To learn more about the HDEV experiment, visit: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/ Please note: The HDEV cycling of the cameras will sometimes be halted, causing the video to only show select camera feeds. This is handled by the HDEV team, and is only scheduled on a temporary basis. Nominal video will resume once the team has finished their scheduled event.

Editor's note: The ICESat-2 launch date is Sept. 12, not Sept. 2. This week in space news, a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will resupply the International Space Station with a launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida later this month. NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2, or ICESat-2, arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Tuesday.

You will not believe these disgusting things about space travel you never thought about! These gross things about space will make you think twice about your dreams of becoming an astronaut and maybe make you think differently about the astronauts circling the Earth! These dirty space facts will make you realize how lucky you are to live firmly on the Earth with things like gravity to keep dust, dirt, and dead skin on the ground and out of your face. Think you know everything there is to know about how disgusting space is? Check out this list of 25 Disgusting Things About Space Travel You Never Thought About and find out! If your dream is to be a space cadet or blast off on a rocket ship, you should be prepared for these downright GROSS things about outer space! From racid mystery smells to crazy ways to get rid of waste, you won’t believe what the astronauts go through to live in space! Even simple things like going to the bathroom or passing gas just don’t work right in space, with astronauts having to go to extraordinary measures to make the most simple things (like a burp or a fart) happen. Probably the grossest thing that happens in space (although not in our top 10) is that astronauts have to drink their own urine and sweat in space! From weeks without baths to pulling dead bodies alongside the space ship, you won’t believe these gross facts about space travel. Make sure to watch this video until the end to get every disgusting space fact. Make sure to leave a comment to let us know what fact you think is the worst!

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst spoke to European media from the International Space Station on 12 June 2018, just three days after docking with the orbiting outpost. The press conference was held at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, and was mainly in German. Alexander answered questions on climate, how it feel to be in space a second time, and the football World Cup. This is Alexander’s second six-month stay on the International Space Station. The mission is called Horizons as a symbol for the unknown and what lies beyond. The mission further cements ESA’s know-how for living and working off-planet. Alexander will be testing ways of operating and working with robots to develop techniques required for further human and robotic exploration of our Solar System such as commanding rovers while orbiting another planet. The Horizons science programme is packed with European research: Alexander will take part in over 50 experiments to deliver benefits to people on Earth as well as prepare for future space exploration. Many of these experiments will take place in Europe’s Columbus laboratory that is celebrating its 10th anniversary in space this year. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe Follow Alexander and the Horizons mission on social media via http://bit.ly/AlexanderGerstESA and on http://bit.ly/HorizonsBlogESA.
