Good morning, and welcome to live coverage of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission! We’re just over five hours from liftoff, with Crew-11 scheduled to launch to the International Space Station at 12:09 p.m. EDT on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The U.S. Space Force’s […]
NASA and SpaceX teams completed the final major review – the Launch Readiness Review – for the agency’s Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station, with mission leaders polling “go” to proceed into the launch count. The four crew members of Crew-11 are scheduled to liftoff no earlier than 12:09 p.m. EDT on Thursday, July […]
The Expedition 73 crew is readying a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft for return to Earth while a new crew on the ground is preparing to launch aboard another Dragon to the International Space Station. Meanwhile, exercise research, lab maintenance, and Earth observations rounded out the day aboard the orbital outpost.
Mission controllers for the NASA-ISRO NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission have received full acquisition of signal from the spacecraft. The satellite will provide high-resolution data to help decision-makers, communities, and scientists monitor infrastructure and agricultural fields, refine understanding of natural hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, and help teams prepare for and respond to […]
The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) spacecraft has separated from the third stage of ISRO’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket and will soon spread its solar arrays to power itself. Technicians will now work to acquire signal from the spacecraft to verify its health. When it reaches its Sun-synchronous science orbit at an altitude of […]
The NASA-ISRO NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) spacecraft has lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast aboard an ISRO Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket at 8:10 a.m. EDT (5:40 a.m. IST), Wednesday, July 30.
The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission has been given a “go” for launch by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Mission and launch managers are counting down to the spacecraft’s launch from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast aboard an ISRO Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket. Watch live coverage of the launch […]
The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) observatory marks not only the first hardware collaboration on an Earth mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), but also the first satellite to bring together L-band and S-band radar on one spacecraft. The combination makes for an exceptionally powerful synthetic aperture radar that will provide […]
