Tune in LIVE as three space travelers launch to the International Space Station on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 1:45 a.m. EDT.  Astronaut Kate Rubins of NASA, and Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos will lift off aboard the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft for a two-orbit, three-hour journey to dock to the orbiting laboratory. Live coverage of the launch begins at 12:45 a.m. EDT. This is the second trip to space for both Rubins and Ryzhikov, and the first for Kud-Sverchkov. During their six-month mission, they will welcome SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker of NASA, and Soichi Noguchi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).

Astronauts have been carrying cameras into space since Gherman Titov flew on Vostok 2, humanity's most prominent memories of space exploration have been thanks to cameras which were adapted for spaceflight, modified to solve problems that would never be encountered on the ground, or to give them capabilities that were ahead of their time.

I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk

The Northrop Grumman Cygnus NG-14 'SS Kalpana Chawla' spacecraft was captured by the International Space Station's robotic arm on Oct. 5, 2020. The spacecraft was named after NASA astronaut, and first woman of Indian origin to fly in space, Kalpana Chawla. She died when the Space Shuttle Columbia burned up during re-entry in Feb. 2003. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/cygnus-cargo-spacecraft-ng-14-arrives-space-station Watch Cygnus launch: https://www.space.com/nasa-space-toilet-launches-on-antares-cygnus-ng-14 Credit: NASA

NASA continues to investigate an atmosphere leak aboard the International Space Station. Kenny Todd, NASA deputy manager for the International Space Station, explains the situation. -- Leak traced to Russian service module: https://www.space.com/international-space-station-air-leak-russian-module Credit: NASA

#NASA is launching a new $23 million #space toilet, known as the #UWMS, to the #InternationalSpaceStation aboard a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo capsule on Sept. 29, for #astronauts to test out before it’s used on future missions to the #moon or #Mars. #ISS

Many people don't realise that the International Space Station is also a space ship, able to maneuver in space as required by mission operations. It has thrusters and control moment gyros to control its orientation and adjust its orbit. I could have explaind this with CGI, I could have used KSP Instead I decided to use my LEGO model of the ISS as a prop: The LEGO ISS is available on Amazon and other online retailers. https://amzn.to/3kV4aqC

Northrop Grumman’s 14th commercial resupply mission (CRS-14) to the International Space Station (ISS)is slated for launch no earlier than September 29 at 10:26 p.m. ET from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The ISS U.S. National Laboratory is sponsoring more than 20 payloads on this mission that will bring value to our nation, and further enable a sustainable market in low Earth orbit. These payloads represent a diverse mix of research and technology development seeking to leverage the unique space-based environment of the orbiting laboratory to push the limits of fundamental and applied science.

Solid, liquid, gas, plasma… did you know there’s also a fifth state of matter? Since 2018, NASA's Cold Atom Lab has been using the microgravity environment on the International Space Station to help chill atoms to almost absolute zero – the coldest temperature matter can reach. At these low temperatures, Cold Atom Lab produces the fifth state of matter, called a Bose-Einstein condensate. Experiments with this fifth state of matter could lend deeper insight into how our world works on a fundamental level. For example, scientists will be able to measure the very faint tug of gravity that is still present aboard the station, and put Albert Einstein’s theory about this fundamental force to the test. Studies of Bose-Einstein condensates aboard the station could also lead to new technologies, like better tools for navigation and more precise clocks.

After a three-month stay at the International Space Station, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA’s) “Kounotori” H-II Transfer Vehicle cargo ship HTV-9 will depart the orbital laboratory, heading for deorbit, where it will burn up during reentry into Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The spacecraft, which launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan on May 20, delivered 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. Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy of NASA will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the spacecraft from the station. To prepare for release, flight controllers operating from NASA’s Mission Control Center at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will send commands to unbolt and detach the uncrewed cargo craft from the station’s Harmony module and remotely operate Canadarm2 to move it into place for departure. 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. Launch window begins at 1:35pm ET (5:35pm GMT) ▰ Livestream Chat: https://discord.gg/jkbWhGK (Discord invite link) This will be the final station departure of JAXA’s Kounotori, or “white stork,” model 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. Developed and built in Japan, the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) known as "KOUNOTORI (meaning 'white stork' in Japanese)" is an unmanned cargo transfer spacecraft that delivers supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). "KOUNOTORI" provides very basic support for ISS operations by delivering up to six tons of cargo and has the world's largest transportation capacity. It also has the unique function of carrying multiple numbers of large-size experimental instruments on one flight.
