Two crews are nearing the end of their stay aboard the International Space Station while the orbital residents continue ongoing microgravity research and lab maintenance. Next week will see the departure of NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub. The trio will undock the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft from the …

The 12-member Expedition 71 crew aboard the International Space Station spent Tuesday observing how their bodies are adapting to weightlessness, configuring life support systems, and training to use safety hardware. NASA and its international partners have collected and analyzed decades of health data from hundreds of space crew members. Whether its just a few days …
Your challenge is to tell us the location of the satellite image and why it is interesting.

Following successful testing earlier this year of the high-speed film and high-speed digital cameras on mobile launcher 1 and Launch Pad 39B, teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently completed additional testing to gather more data for the film cameras ahead of the Artemis II mission. Building on the first test, engineers with …

Three crewmates are preparing to end their stay aboard the International Space Station and return to Earth next week. Meanwhile, the rest of the Expedition 71 crew spent Monday exploring how space affects their bodies, working on a spacesuit, and transferring cargo. NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson is nearing her mission’s completion along with Roscosmos …

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 11:29 a.m. ET on Sept. 14, 2024. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to …
Scientists at sea are making measurements to validate the observations from NASA's new ocean-observing satellite.

While three new crewmates get up to speed with living and working aboard the International Space Station another trio is preparing for its return to Earth. In the meantime, biomedicine and science maintenance topped the research schedule at the end of the week as the orbital residents also brushed up on their emergency response skills. …
