Space physics, eye checks, and workout gear maintenance filled Thursday’s schedule for the Expedition 74 crew members aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. Three cosmonauts are also cleaning up and relaxing following a spacewalk on Wednesday.
Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 4:24 p.m. EDT after five-and-a-half hours.
NASA Team Members, Yesterday, we had the opportunity to update the world on NASA’s progress in building the Moon Base. I wanted to share those remarks with all of you because the accomplishments discussed are only possible through the efforts of the NASA workforce and our many partners supporting the mission. Thank you all for being […]
Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev exited the International Space Station at 10:18 a.m. EDT, beginning a spacewalk to remove two completed science experiments from the Poisk and Nauka modules and to install a new solar radiation-measuring device on the Zvezda service module.
Live coverage is underway as two Roscosmos cosmonauts prepare for a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The spacewalk is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:15 a.m. EDT and last roughly five hours.
NASA’s Calibration Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Pathfinder (CLARREO Pathfinder) instrument was installed onto the International Space Station’s ExPRESS Logistics Carrier-1 platform on May 22. This mounting site on the International Space Station is a standardized external port location that provides a physical instrument interface and critical operating resources for remote science operations. The CLARREO Pathfinder […]
Robotics controllers wrapped up a weekend of swapping scientific hardware packed inside the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft’s trunk for installation on the International Space Station. Meanwhile, the Expedition 74 crew is continuing its biotechnology and botany research while getting ready for a spacewalk scheduled for Wednesday, May 27.
NASA analysts and engineers have been closely tracking the agency’s sinking Neil Gehrel’s Swift Observatory as part of a fast-paced plan to raise it to a higher orbit.
After completing a series of initial test flights at high and low altitudes, NASA’s X-59 aircraft is undergoing a scheduled maintenance period inside its hangar. Teams at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, have removed panels on the aircraft to take a better look inside. This allows for thorough visual inspections to confirm […]
