Astronauts Fun In Space

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is filling sample tubes with rocky material on the Red Planet as the agency works on the next steps to get them safely back to Earth. The Mars Sample Return campaign would bring samples collected by the Perseverance rover to Earth for detailed study. The campaign involves an international interplanetary relay team, including the European Space Agency (ESA). These samples could answer a key question: did life ever exist on Mars? Aaron Yazzie, who works on the Mars Sample Return campaign, explains the work being done at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to ensure the safe return of the sample tubes.

A new NASA and Durham University simulation puts forth a different theory of the Moon’s origin – the Moon may have formed in a matter of hours, when material from the Earth and a Mars sized-body were launched directly into orbit after the impact. The simulations used in this research are some of the most detailed of their kind, operating at the highest resolution of any simulation run to study the Moon’s origins or other giant impacts.

Spacewalker Drew Feustel is moving on up in cumulative spacewalking time leap-frogging Jerry Ross, John Grunsfeld and Fyodor Yurchikhin today. He could surpass Peggy Whitson today and become third all-time spacewalker.

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is a thriving spaceport where commercial companies and government entities work together to ensure America is leading in space.

Un nuevo cargamento de ciencia se dirige a la Estación Espacial Internacional a bordo de la nave Dragon de SpaceX en la 15ª misión de la compañía para los servicios de reabastecimiento comercial. La cápsula entregará investigaciones que estudian el uso de la inteligencia artificial, el manejo de agua para plantas en todo el mundo, la salud intestinal en el espacio, el desarrollo más eficiente de fármacos y la formación de estructuras inorgánicas sin la influencia de la gravedad de la Tierra. La Estación Espacial Internacional es una mescla de ciencia, tecnología e innovación humana que da a ver nuevas tecnologías y permite realizar investigaciones que no son posibles en la Tierra. La Estación Espacial a sido habitada continuamente desde noviembre del año 2000. En ese tiempo, mas de 230 personas y una variedad de vehículos espaciales internacionales y comerciales han visitado el laboratorio en orbita. La Estación es la plataforma de lanzamiento para el próximo gran salto de exploración de la NASA, incluyendo futuras misiones humanas hacia la Luna y eventualmente a Marte.

DescriptionAfter launching June 6 in their Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Expedition 56-57 Soyuz Commander Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos and Flight Engineers Serena Aunon-Chancellor of NASA and Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency arrived at the International Space Station June 8 to complete a two-day journey, docking their vehicle to the Rassvet module on the Russian segment of the complex. A few hours after docking, Prokopyev, Aunon-Chancellor and Gerst opened hatches and were greeted by station Commander Drew Feustel of NASA and Flight Engineers Ricky Arnold of NASA and Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos. As the hatches were opened, the families of the newly arrived crewmembers and American, Russian and European space officials viewed the activities from the Russian Mission Control Center outside Moscow and offered their congratulations to the newest residents of the outpost.

In the next eight minutes, you’ll experience a twenty-five-and-a-half-day mission from roll-out to recovery of the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System rocket, launching from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This uncrewed mission will be the first in a planned series of exploration missions beyond the moon, signaling what astronauts who dare to operate in deep space will experience on future flights.

NASA's Commercial Crew Program is partnering with American industry to return human spaceflight to the United States. NASA is working to turn over low-Earth orbit astronaut transportation to commercial companies, Boeing and SpaceX, allowing the agency to fully utilize the International Space Station - our tested for deep space exploration.

Demonstration Mission-1 (Demo-1) was an uncrewed flight test designed to demonstrate a new commercial capability developed under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The mission began March 2, when the Crew Dragon launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and racked up a number of “firsts” in less than a week. First commercially-built and operated American crew spacecraft and rocket to launch from American soil on a mission to the space station. First commercially-built and operated American crew spacecraft to dock with the space station. First autonomous docking of a U.S. spacecraft to the International Space Station. First use of a new, global design standard for the adapters that connect the space station and Crew Dragon, and also will be used for the Orion spacecraft for NASA’s future mission to the Moon. NASA and SpaceX teams gathered in the early morning hours at the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California, to follow the spacecraft’s return journey and ocean splashdown.

August 1972, as NASA scientist Ian Richardson remembers it, was hot. In Surrey, England, where he grew up, the fields were brown and dry, and people tried to stay out of the Sun, indoors and televisions on. But for several days that month, his TV picture kept breaking up. “Do not adjust your set,” he recalls the BBC announcing. “Heat isn’t causing the interference. It’s sunspots.” The same sunspots that disrupted the television signals led to enormous solar flares — powerful bursts of radiation from the Sun — Aug. 4-7 that year. Between the Apollo 16 and 17 missions, the solar eruptions were a near miss for lunar explorers. Had they been in orbit or on the Moon’s surface, they would have sustained dangerous levels of solar radiation sparked by the eruptions. Today, the Apollo-era flares serve as a reminder of the threat of radiation exposure for technology and astronauts in space. Understanding and predicting solar eruptions is crucial for safe space exploration. Almost 50 years since those 1972 storms, the data, technology and resources available to NASA have improved, enabling advancements towards space weather forecasts and astronaut protection — key to NASA’s Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon.

Boeing and SpaceX are getting ready to launch astronauts from U.S. soil, but getting off the ground is just the beginning. Once they arrive at the International Space Station, astronauts will be working on research to improve life on Earth, and help us send humans into deep space—farther than ever before.

The International Space Station is your orbiting laboratory, and the science being conducted there will help us push farther into deep space, while providing benefits back on Earth. Microgravity unlocks new worlds of discovery. See what we’re learning: https://go.nasa.gov/2fKxty8

NASA and the Canadian Space Agency have coordinated to open Phase 2 of the Deep Space Food Challenge, targeted at developing novel food production system technologies for long-duration deep space missions.
