Health research and final spacewalk closeouts wrapped up the week for the Expedition 74 crew members aboard the International Space Station as they gear up to receive a cargo delivery next week. Understanding how the human body reacts to space is key to ensure crews thrive on future longer-duration missions. Residents aboard the orbital complex […]
Four International Space Station residents had a light-duty day Thursday as they enjoyed some time off and worked on close out procedures following the conclusion of yesterday’s spacewalk. The three other Expedition 74 crew members spent the day inspecting various modules of the orbital complex, cleaning, and stowing cargo.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 3:54 p.m. EDT. It was Williams’ first spacewalk and Meir’s fourth.
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams began a spacewalk at 8:52 a.m. EDT to prepare the 2A power channel for the future installation of new roll-out solar arrays. Once installed, the arrays will provide additional power for the orbiting laboratory, supporting critical systems and its safe, controlled deorbit.
Live coverage is underway as two NASA astronauts prepare for a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The spacewalk is scheduled to last about six and a half hours.
Tuesday brought the final preparations for tomorrow’s spacewalk where two NASA astronauts will exit the International Space Station and enter the vacuum of space for space station solar array upgrade work. The Expedition 74 crew members prepped spacesuits and reviewed procedures while working in some time for maintenance and science activities.
Spacewalk preparations and the undocking of a cargo spacecraft kicked off the week for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station.
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 92 spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station at 9:24 a.m. EDT Monday, backing away for a deorbit maneuver and a planned destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
Science hardware maintenance filled the day for the Expedition 74 crew following the release of two cargo spacecraft in less than a week at the International Space Station. The orbital residents also continued more reviews for next week’s spacewalk, kept up their ongoing human research program, and readied another spacecraft for departure.
At 7 a.m. EDT, the Northrop Grumman Cygnus XL spacecraft was released from the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which earlier detached the cargo spacecraft from the Earth‑facing port of the International Space Station’s Unity module. At the time of release, the station was flying about 260 miles over ______.
