ЦитироватьPacked with Science, SpaceX Dragon Begins Homecoming with Successful ISS Departure
September 17, 2017

The SpaceX Dragon is making its homecoming after almost 34 days off the planet on Sunday, capping a successful mission that facilitated the shipment of world-class science to the International Space Station and the return of research gear and samples eagerly awaited by scientists on Earth to finally understand the structure of a protein implicated in Parkinson's disease, reveal how long-duration space flight affects blood vessels in the brain and eyes, and examine bio-engineered lung tissues grown on ISS.

The Dragon SpX-12 spacecraft was unberthed fr om its Earth-facing port at the orbital laboratory Saturday night and was set free at 8:40 UTC on Sunday, breathing fire again after sitting idle at ISS for nearly 32 days. Firing its thrusters, Dragon began moving away fr om the orbiting complex with some 1,720 Kilograms of return cargo loaded into its pressurized cargo compartment.

A rocket-powered braking maneuver is planned to put the Dragon on course to a blazing re-entry – to be followed by a parachute-assisted descent toward a planned 14:14 UTC splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Baja, California.

The twelfth regular Dragon mission – the last in the original Commercial Resupply Services Contract with NASA – ran like clockwork up to the craft's departure fr om ISS, beginning on August 14 with liftoff fr om Florida atop a Falcon 9 rocket. Loaded with 2,910 Kilograms of cargo, Dragon enjoyed a smooth ten-minute ride into orbit atop the two-stage rocket with the vehicle's first stage making a powered return to the Cape for touchdown at Landing Zone 1, giving SpaceX another booster in excellent condition for future re-use.

Separated fr om its launch vehicle, Dragon headed off on a two-day rendezvous with ISS culminating in a straight-up approach to the complex on August 16 with a robotic capture marking Dragon's arrival at its orbital destination. The craft was berthed to the Harmony module later that day and a very eager ISS crew pushed into hatch opening procedures the same day and also managed to complete a good chunk of the internal cargo transfer work within the first 24 hours of Dragon's tenure at ISS.

The Dragon SpX-12 spacecraft was loaded with 1,652 Kilograms of pressurized cargo, broken down in 916kg of research gear, 339kg of maintenance hardware, 220kg of crew supplies and 83kg of spacewalk and computer equipment. The mission set a record for the most amount of science cargo delivered by any previous ISS visiting vehicle.

Taking a ride aboard the Dragon were two groups of Mice – one aboard the Rodent Habitat under U.S. operation and the other in Japan's Mouse Habitat Unit, participating in a study of musculoskeletal changes caused by extended stays in microgravity. Rodent Research 9 – the sixth RR flight to ISS – combines three studies into one experiment, looking at how long-duration space flight affects the structure of cerebral arteries in the brain, studying micro-vascular and tissue remodeling in the eye – a cause of space-induced visual impairment, and determining the scope of knee and hip joint degradation during long-duration space flight.

The 20 mice – unlike some of their predecessors – were lucky enough to have a return ticket and were among the time-critical items packed into Dragon on Saturday before its hatch was closed.

The SpX-12 mission also delivered to ISS a Spaceborne Supercomputer for a critical technology demonstration mission that aims to validate the design of an onboard computer for the spacecraft of the future. At present, computers used on crewed and uncrewed spacecraft are several generations behind modern machines on Earth and feature heavy radiation shielding.

The Spaceborne Computer experiment will show, over the duration of one year, a software-driven technique to protect it from radiation – potentially enabling a generation of light, highly-capable computers that can support the autonomy needed by missions venturing out into the distant reaches of the solar system.

Another high-profile study on the SpX-12 mission was Protein Crystal Growth 7 – exploiting the unique environment found on ISS to grow pristine crystals of a protein shown to play a major role in Parkinson's disease. Protein crystals grown in space are much larger and more uniform than those produced under the influence of gravity which allows their full structure to be determined via laboratory methods on Earth, providing insight into their function and helping in the development of inhibitor therapies.

Other experiments riding up on Dragon aimed to grow bio-engineered lung tissue, track how potentially harmful microbes spread in space, and examine how plants protect themselves from stress factors encountered in space; also aboard the spacecraft were new plant pillows for the Station's Veggie facility to continue working on in-space cultivation techniques needed for missions to distant targets.

Bolted into the Trunk Section of the Dragon was a 1,250-Kilogram particle detector package to expand the Space Station's role as an orbiting astrophysics laboratory. CREAM – the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Instrument – took up residence outside the Station's Kibo Module from wh ere it will measure incoming particles at ultra-high energies, further up in energy than can be measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 2, the Station's dark matter hunter.

Researchers hope to use data from CREAM to help explain some of the peculiarities in the cosmic energy spectrum – in particular an unexplained decline in the observed spectrum wh ere particle theory would not predict such a decrease, a question that has been puzzling scientists for decades.

With Dragon's mission winding down, the ISS crew placed the final time-critical return items into the pressurized compartment of the spacecraft before closing its hatch and buttoning up the hatchway of the Harmony module for an overnight unberthing by releasing 16 bolts and opening capture latches. Once free from Harmony, Dragon was maneuvered into its release position by ROBO controllers on the ground in the overnight hours to set up for an early release of the spacecraft.

Setting up shop in the Station's Cupola was ESA Astronaut Paolo Nespoli, the prime robotics operator in charge of releasing the spacecraft, backed up by Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik who handled communications with the ground and commanding of Dragon via the COTS UHF Communications Unit. Snares within the arm's latching end effector opened up at 8:40 UTC, setting Dragon free for its return journey.

Paolo Nespoli retracted Canadarm2 to a safe distance and Dragon recovered from Free Drift, pulsing its Draco thrusters three minutes after release to initiate a slow opening rate down the Station's R-Bar, or radial vector. Another separation maneuver accelerated Dragon down the R-Bar and out of the Station's Keep Out Sphere followed by the third and largest separation burn that set Dragon on a course to pull out in front of ISS and open a gap of around 150 Kilometers before the deorbit burn.

With Dragon confirmed on a safe path away from ISS, NASA ended its involvement in the mission with SpaceX having the responsibility of getting Dragon safely back to Earth and ship return cargo back to NASA.

Dragon is planned to fire up at 13:24 UTC on a deorbit burn of just under ten minutes to slow by some 100 meters per second and transition from an orbital flight path to a sub-orbital arc intercepting the atmosphere at a pre-determined location from wh ere the craft can reach its parachute opening target. Around four minutes before hitting the atmosphere, Dragon will jettison the expendable Trunk Section which is not holding any external disposal payloads on this mission and is facing a fiery re-entry as it lacks the protection of a heat shield.

Encountering the dense atmosphere, Dragon's PICA-X heat shield has to endure temperatures up to 1,600 degrees Celsius and Dragon is programmed to constantly modify its lift to optimize the flight path toward the planned parachute opening target – having shown good accuracy since its very first landing from an ISS mission.

Friction in the atmosphere slows Dragon to a subsonic speed of 240 meters per second at which point two drogue chutes deploy some 13.7 Kilometers in altitude to further reduce the vehicle's speed for the deployment of the three large main chutes. Under the three mains, Dragon transitions to a vertical descent and slows to a landing speed of around 20 Kilometers per hour for splashdown around 340 Kilometers west of San Diego.

Dragon's landing will start the typical race against the clock to ensure time-critical payloads make it to NASA within 48 hours of touchdown. Loaded onto a ship, Dragon will be transported to the Port of Long Beach wh ere time critical items are removed and shipped to their home institutions while Dragon continues by road to SpaceX's McGregor test site in Texas wh ere the remaining cargo items will be removed followed by post-flight processing to allow the Dragon spacecraft to enter refurbishment for a potential future flight.

Closing out its third mission to ISS this year, SpaceX is moving toward the Dragon SpX-13 mission currently looking at a tentative launch target No Earlier Than December, depending on the Station's cargo needs as well as other scheduling concerns on the ISS side.

ЦитироватьDragon capsule splashes down in Pacific with space station cargo   
September 17, 2017 Stephen Clark

Returning home fr om more than a month in orbit, a SpaceX Dragon supply ship departed the International Space Station and parachuted into the Pacific Ocean on Sunday with nearly two tons of research specimens and hardware, including mice sent up to investigate how spaceflight affects eyesight and locomotion.

Wrapping up the 12th successful round-trip Dragon mission in 13 tries, the automated spaceship splashed down in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Los Angeles around 10:15 a.m. EDT (7:15 a.m. PDT; 1415 GMT) after a final descent under three main parachutes.

A SpaceX recovery team on standby in the Pacific Ocean just southwest of the Channel Islands will pull the floating capsule onto a ship and ferry it back to a port near Long Beach, California, in the next couple of days, wh ere ground crews will extract time-critical scientific specimens from the spacecraft for distribution to scientists.

SpaceX will transport the capsule to its facility in McGregor, Texas, for further unpacking and post-flight processing, allowing the company to potentially reuse the cargo carrier for a future mission.

The capsule was released from the space station's Canadian-built robotic arm at 4:40 a.m. EDT (0840 GMT) Sunday with a command sent by astronaut Paolo Nespoli. Three thruster firings sent the Dragon away from the research complex, setting up for a de-orbit burn shortly after 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT).

"We would like to give a big thanks to all the operational teams around the world that keep our presence in space possible, to the scientists and engineers that provide the outstanding research and equipment that we have in space, to NASA and all the space agencies that contribute to the space station, and to SpaceX for giving us this outstanding vehicle," Nespoli radioed from the space station. "Godspeed, Dragon 12."

The Dragon spaceship launched to the space station Aug. 14 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, then reached the orbiting research outpost less than two days later with a delivery of more than 6,400 pounds of experiments and supplies.

NASA inked a $1.6 billion contract with SpaceX in 2008 for 12 logistics flights to the station. This mission wrapped up work under the original resupply contract, but NASA extended the agreement for eight additional cargo launches through 2019. SpaceX also has a separate, follow-on contract with NASA for at least six flights of upgraded Dragon cargo capsules to the station from 2019 through 2024.

Orbital ATK is NASA's other cargo transportation provider, using Cygnus supply ships launched on Antares or Atlas 5 rockets. Sierra Nevada Corp. is developing its own cargo vehicle, called the Dream Chaser, which will return landings on a runway like the space shuttle when it begins flying as soon as 2020.

The latest mission carried 20 mice to the space station and back to be examined after their return to the ground, aiding researchers studying how spaceflight affects vision and movement.

"We're looking at two different biomedical issues," said Michael Delp, principal investigator for the rodent research experiment from Florida State University, before the launch last month. "The first is visual impairment that occurs in some of the astronauts. To date, it only occurs in male astronauts, so we're looking at a couple of different aspects of how visual impairment may occur."

The mice were expected to come back to Earth inside the Dragon capsule alive, and SpaceX will hand over their transporters to scientists upon return to port in Southern California.

Researchers will examine the blood vessels inside animals' eyes and the blood-brain barrier that regulates fluid movement inside the skull.

"The second thing that we'll be doing is really looking at the brain circulation, and how that affects blood pressure within the skull," Delp said.

Part of the rodent research team will look at how an extended stay in the space station's weightless environment affects movement.

"In microgravity, you have a fairly severe physical inactivity, and that can affect a number of the organ systems, such as muscle and bone loss," Delp said.

One focus of the study will be on how much cartilage in joints degrade after spending time in microgravity. Mice have an accelerated metabolism and undergo changes faster than humans, so a month on the space station is roughly equivalent to a three-year expedition by an astronaut, according to Delp.

The space station cargo mission will also help biologists investigating Parkinson's disease, a chronic neurological disorder that affects a million people in the United States, and about five million worldwide.

"Although there are medications that ammeliorate the symptoms, we don't have any therapies that reverse or slow down the progression of the disease," said Marco Baptista, director of research and grants at the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which funded the station-bound experiment.

Scientists are sending a protein that causes Parkinson's to the station to measure how it grows without the influence of gravity. The protein, named LRRK2, could be targeted with drugs and therapies in Parkinson's patients if doctors understand it better.

"The next breakthrough we need is the solving of the crystal structure of LRRK2," Baptista said. "This is important for two reasons. First, it will allow us a better understanding of the biology of LRRK2 and secondly may help industry optimizing LRRK2 kinase inhibitors or develop novel ways to target LRRK2."

Growing the protein in microgravity "will lead to bigger crystals, more regular crystallization and crystals with higher intrinsic order," said Sebastian Mathea, the lead scientist on the LRRK2 experiment from the University of Oxford.

"With those crystals, we hopefully will be able to collect data that allow us to solve the three-dimensional structure of LRRK2, which hopefully will push forward the understanding of the onset of Parkinson's," Mathea said.

Another science team awaits results from an experiment probing how microgravity affects the growth of new lung tissue, specifically bio-engineered material tailored to repair damaged organs or reduce the chance of organ rejection in transplant patients.

Scientists have trouble managing the expansion of bio-engineered lung tissue on Earth. The tissue has trouble moving through structures designed to help shape it, and stem cells used to produce the tissue are slow to replicate, according to Joan Nichols, professor of internal medicine and infectious diseases and associate director of the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

Nichols said microgravity offers a more benign environment, aiding in cell dispersal to help form more uniform tissues.

"We're getting two things out of this," she said. "We're getting a better plan and a better strategy for how to manage production of tissues using microgravity environment, and we're getting a model that's going to tell us what would happen in terms of lung repair on long-term spaceflight."

Other equipment delivered to the space station by Dragon last month included a supercomputer developed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise designed to help engineers gauge the ruggedness of commercial computer components in the harsh conditions of space.

While astronauts got to work in experiments inside the station's lab facilities, the Canadian and Japanese robotic arms removed a cosmic ray detector carried inside the Dragon's external payload bay for mounting on a facility outside the station's Japanese Kibo module.

Derived from an instrument carried aloft on high-altitude balloons, the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass, or CREAM, payload will spend at least three years sampling particles sent speeding through the universe by cataclysmic supernova explosions, and perhaps other exotic phenomena like dark matter.

Scientists think the subatomic particles could hold the key to unlocking mysteries about the universe.

Four small satellites inside the Dragon capsule were also transferred inside the space station for deployment later this year.

SpaceX's next Dragon cargo flight to the space station is scheduled for launch some time in December.

The departure of the SpaceX Dragon Sunday morning leaves three spaceships parked at the space station including the Progress 67 resupply ship and the Soyuz MS-05 and MS-06 crew ships.

SpaceX's Dragon cargo craft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at approximately 10:14 a.m. EDT, southwest of Long Beach, California, and the recovery process is underway, marking the end of the company's twelfth contracted cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA.
Спойлер
Expedition 53 Flight Engineer Paolo Nespoli of ESA (European Space Agency) and International Space Station Commander Randy Bresnik of NASA released the Dragon spacecraft earlier this morning at 4:40 a.m.

A variety of technological and biological studies are returning in Dragon. NASA and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), the non-profit organization that manages research aboard the U.S. national laboratory portion of the space station, will receive time-sensitive samples and begin working with researchers to process and distribute them within 48 hours.

The Lung Tissue experiment used the microgravity environment of space to test strategies for growing new lung tissue. The ultimate goal of this investigation is to produce bioengineered human lung tissue that can be used as a predictive model of human responses allowing for the study of lung development, lung physiology or disease pathology.

Samples from the CASIS PCG 7 study used the orbiting laboratory's microgravity environment to grow larger versions of an important protein implicated in Parkinson's disease. Developed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, Anatrace and Com-Pac International, researchers will look to take advantage of the station's microgravity environment which allows protein crystals to grow larger and in more perfect shapes than earth-grown crystals, allowing them to be better analyzed on Earth. Defining the exact shape and morphology of LRRK2 would help scientists to better understand the pathology of Parkinson's and aid in the development of therapies against this target.

Mice from NASA's Rodent Research-9 study also will return live to Earth for additional study. The investigation combined three studies into one mission, with two looking at how microgravity affects blood vessels in the brain and in the eyes and the third looking at cartilage loss in hip and knee joints. For humans on Earth, research related to limited mobility and degrading joints can help scientists understand how arthritis develops, and a better understanding of the visual impairments experienced by astronauts can help identify causes and treatments for eye disorders.

Dragon launched to the space station Aug. 14 from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and arrived at the station Aug. 16, delivering more than 6,400 pounds of supplies and cargo.

ЦитироватьЭксперимент по 3D-биопечати на МКС планируют провести в сжатые сроки
18.09.2017

В РКК «Энергия» стартовал масштабный проект по сокращению сроков реализации космического эксперимента «Магнитный 3D-биопринтер» на Российском сегменте МКС. В нем принимают участие представители Госкорпорации «РОСКОСМОС», РКК «Энергия», ЦНИИмаш, а также заказчика эксперимента – лаборатории «3D Биопринтинг Солюшенс».
Основная цель первого коммерческого эксперимента «Магнитный 3D-биопринтер» на РС МКС – испытание нового способа биофабрикации трехмерных тканевых конструкций в условиях невесомости. Все существующие на сегодняшний день биопринтеры работают по принципу аддитивного, т.е. послойного производства. В космосе в условиях микрогравитации возможно применение принципиально нового подхода –«формативного» производства тканевых конструктов и органоидов. Разработанный лабораторией биотехнологических исследований «3D Биопринтинг Солюшенс» магнитный биопринтер позволит создавать органоиды в условиях невесомости, в том числе чувствительные к радиации. Результаты запланированного эксперимента будут использованы для дальнейшего изучения возможностей создания более сложных анатомических структур и разработки систем защиты астронавтов от космической радиации во время длительных пилотируемых полетов.
- С учетом текущей динамики работа по эксперименту требует не менее четырех лет, но для сохранения лидерства в этой сфере заказчику необходимо уложиться в более сжатые сроки, - рассказывает руководитель научно-технического центра «Целевое использование пилотируемых космических комплексов» Александр Марков. - Поэтому к этой задаче были подключены все необходимые ресурсы: профильные тематические подразделения РКК «Энергия», блок развития бизнеса и коммерциализации Госкорпорации «РОСКОСМОС».
- Впервые в команду реализации проекта вошли представители коммерческого заказчика, которые вместе с остальными участниками погрузились в проработку всех этапов эксперимента, - отметил заместитель директора Департамента бизнес-систем Госкорпорации «РОСКОСМОС» Андрей Диваев. - С применением методологии производственной системы РОСКОСМОСА мы определили зоны оптимизации, а предложенные командой проекта идеи позволили выявить резервы по сокращению сроков эксперимента почти на три года.
Участники проекта сформулировали и проработали целый ряд предложений для сокращения сроков реализации эксперимента: проведение подготовки экипажа на специально созданном тренажерном макете биопринтера, а не на реальном образце; запараллеливание процессов согласования ТЗ на научную аппаратуру с процедурой экспертизы КНТС и т.д.
- Такие проекты требуют четкой координации всех участников процесса, и это как раз тот уникальный случай, когда удалось собрать всю команду вместе для решения прикладных задач проекта, - рассказывает управляющий партнер «3D Биопринтинг Солюшенс» Юсеф Хесуани. - Итогом этой работы стало создание сквозного графика работ с четким анализом рисков и проблем, а также мероприятий по их устранению, которые запланировано осуществить для успешной реализации эксперимента.
Генеральный директор РКК «Энергия» Владимир Солнцев на защите проекта утвердил план-график реализации и отметил высокий уровень проведенной работы.
 - Эту схему будем использовать для всех других коммерческих космических экспериментов, чтобы в оптимальные сроки реализовывать самые смелые и амбициозные проекты, - сказал в заключение Владимир Львович.
