Science maintenance supporting physics research gear and window inspections kicked off the beginning of the week for the seven-member Expedition 73 crew living and working aboard the International Space Station. Meanwhile, NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are reviewing launch opportunities no earlier than Thursday, June 19, for the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 4.
NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX now are reviewing opportunities no earlier than Thursday, June 19, for launch of the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 4.
The Expedition 73 crew wrapped up the week with another light duty day working half a shift filled with vein scans, a pharmaceutical study, and International Space Station maintenance.
In early June, NASA’s Artemis II lunar science team ran a mission simulation for the first time in the newly completed Science Evaluation Room (SER) at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The team of scientists used the simulation to test how they will work together to lead lunar science activities during Artemis II […]
The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission, an Earth-observing radar satellite jointly developed by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), moved another step closer to launch last month when it arrived safe and sound at Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast. Home to ISRO’s launch facilities, the center will host the […]
NASA and Axiom Space are postponing the launch of Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station. As part of an ongoing investigation, NASA is working with Roscosmos to understand a new pressure signature, after the recent post-repair effort in the aft most segment of the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module.
The Expedition 73 crew members lightened their schedule on Wednesday following several days of Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) preparations including readying International Space Station systems, tablet computers, and temporary crew quarters. The orbital residents relaxed throughout the day while setting aside some time to continue ongoing human research and orbital maintenance.
NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are standing down from the launch opportunity on Wednesday, June 11, of Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station to allow additional time for SpaceX teams to repair a liquid oxygen leak identified during post-static fire Falcon 9 rocket inspections. A new launch date for the fourth private astronaut mission will be provided once repair work is complete, pending range availability.
NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission has released its first images of large solar eruptions called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. The images were presented Tuesday at the 246th American Astronomical Society meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. The images, stitched into a video, show giant CMEs, growing as they travel across the […]
Expedition 73 continues preparing for the arrival of the Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) crew targeted to launch to the International Space Station on Wednesday. Meanwhile, space science operations continued for advancing human health, promoting future missions, and observing Earth landmarks.
