With the Earth 250 miles below, NASA astronaut Jessica Meir is pictured tethered to the outside of the International Space Station during a seven-hour, 17-minute spacewalk she conducted with fellow NASA astronaut Christina Koch (out of frame).

Japan's resupply ship is nearing the end of its month-long stay at the International Space Station. Meanwhile, the Expedition 61 crew is exploring how microgravity impacts humans and plants today.

Fresh off her fourth spacewalk last Friday, NASA astronaut Christina Koch is packing the Japanese HTV-8 cargo craft with discarded hardware and trash for disposal. Commander Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) joined Koch for the cargo transfers today.

Koch and NASA Flight Engineer Jessica Meir will be in the cupola on Friday, Nov. 1 commanding the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the HTV-8. It will reenter Earth's atmosphere the following day for a fiery, but safe demise above the Pacific Ocean.

Parmitano and Koch switched roles during the afternoon from space movers to crew medical officers (CMO) examining Meir and NASA Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan. The CMOs operated an ultrasound scanner looking at the cornea, lens and optic nerve inside the eyes of Meir and Morgan.

Koch also researched surface tension in space to understand afflictions such as Alzheimer's disease and design advanced materials. Meir tended to plants for an ongoing space agriculture study. Morgan installed new life science hardware inside the Kibo lab module's Saibo biology research rack.

Cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Skripochka set up acoustic gear testing the detection and location of micrometeoroid impacts on the space station. The duo spent the rest of the afternoon checking docking hardware on the Zvezda service module and the Pirs docking compartment.

This timelapse video from the International Space Station shows ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano helping NASA astronauts Andrew Morgan and Christina Koch prepare for a spacewalk on 6 October 2019.

Andrew and Christina worked outside in the vacuum of space for seven hours and one minute to begin the latest round of upgrading the station's large nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries.

This spacewalk is one of many scheduled for October and November. The first all-female spacewalk is expected to take place during the week of 14 October and Luca is expected to complete his first spacewalk of the Beyond mission later in November.

During his November spacewalks, Luca will work to repair and enhance the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer – a particle physics experiment module that was never designed to be maintained in orbit.

Космонавты РФ протянут кабель из американского сегмента МКС для подключения модуля "Наука"
Источник в ракетно-космической отрасли отметил, что завершить работы получится только после стыковки модуля со станцией

МОСКВА, 23 октября. /ТАСС/. Российские космонавты во время выходов в открытый космос протянут из американского сегмента силовой кабель для подключения многофункционального лабораторного модуля (МЛМ) "Наука". Об этом сообщил ТАСС источник в ракетно-космической отрасли.

"Космонавтам необходимо смонтировать кабель питания модуля и его оборудования от американского сегмента. Для этого нужно кабель протянуть через ФГБ [функционально-грузовой блок "Заря"] по наружной поверхности через служебный модуль до МЛМ", - отметил собеседник агентства.

Эти работы начали проводить космонавты Федор Юрчихин и Александр Мисуркин во время выхода в открытый космос в 2013 году. Другой источник добавил ТАСС, что завершить их получится только после стыковки МЛМ с Международной космической станцией.

"Некоторые кабельные трассы нужно будет укладывать, когда придет модуль, для этого будет несколько выходов", - пояснил источник.

Строительство модуля "Наука" началось в 1995 году. Его первоначально планировалось отправить на МКС как дублера "Зари" (первый модуль станции, продолжает полет в ее составе), но старт неоднократно откладывался. В 2013 года "Науку" отправили в Центр имени М.В. Хруничева. Как уточнялось, такое решение было принято из-за обнаруженной металлической стружки в его топливной системе.

МЛМ способен вырабатывать кислород на шесть человек, регенерировать воду из урины. С "Наукой" российские космонавты должны получить второй туалет (первый находится в модуле "Звезда"), каюту для третьего члена экипажа, а также европейский манипулятор ERA, который позволит выполнять ряд работ без выхода в открытый космос. Ранее источник в ракетно-космической отрасли сообщил ТАСС, что МЛМ планируют отправить на космодром Байконур, 15 января 2020 года. Запуск модуля намечен на ноябрь 2020 года.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir (left) and Christina Koch (right) are suited up and ready to go on the first all-woman spacewalk and posing with their Expedition 61 crewmates.

The Expedition 61 crew tackled a variety of maintenance jobs and microgravity science onboard the International Space Station today. The orbital residents are also gearing up for the departure of a Japanese cargo ship and more spacewalks tentatively scheduled for November.

Flight Engineer Christina Koch continued loading trash and obsolete gear in Japan's resupply ship before stowing spacewalk tools and hardware today. Commander Luca Parmitano began his day getting up to speed on future spacewalks planned for the repair of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Koch and Parmitano later joined together and installed new stowage racks inside the Permanent Multipurpose Module.

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir spent all day Wednesday cleaning cooling loops inside the U.S. spacesuits she and Koch wore last week. Parmitano and Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan were also on spacesuit duty checking tethers and recharging the metal oxide canisters that scrub carbon dioxide from the suit atmosphere.

Morgan was back in the Japanese Kibo laboratory module this morning installing an incubator into the Saibo biology research rack. He then watered plants for a space agriculture study exploring how to provide fresh food for long-term space crews.

In the Russian segment of the orbiting lab, veteran cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov researched ways to improve geographic accuracy when photographing the Earth. Flight Engineer Oleg Skripochka continued testing acoustic gear to detect and locate micrometeoroid impacts on the station.

NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan watered plants earlier this week to help NASA learn how to provide fresh food for crews on long-term space missions.

The six residents living aboard the International Space Station are busy today ensuring advanced microgravity research continues to provide benefits for citizens on Earth and in space. The Expedition 61 crew is also brushing up on repair techniques for a cosmic particle detector attached to the outside of the orbiting lab.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch juggled an array of life science activities throughout Thursday. Meir cared for plants for a new field of botany research exploring how to provide fresh food for long-term space crews. Meir later swapped out a failed computer hard drive that supports combustion experiments. Koch organized biology hardware for a study seeking therapies for aging-related conditions. Koch then serviced microbial DNA samples to understand how microorganisms adapt to weightlessness.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is due for an upgraded thermal control system after being installed on the outpost's Starboard-3 truss structure in 2011. NASA is planning a series of spacewalks to restore the AMS-02 to full service. Commander Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan are reviewing the tools and techniques necessary to complete the AMS repair job.

Over in the station's Russian segment, composed of five modules, a pair of cosmonauts focused on hardware and systems maintenance. Alexander Skvortsov inspected lab windows and checked batteries. Fellow cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka worked on air conditioning and plumbing tasks inside the orbital lab. The duo also explored how to improve accuracy when detecting and photographing Earth landmarks.

ЦитироватьDLR, Teledyne begin hyperspectral imaging fr om ISS
by Caleb Henry — October 24, 2019

WASHINGTON — The German Space Agency DLR and Teledyne Brown Engineering of Huntsville, Alabama, have started operation of a jointly funded hyperspectral imager attached to the exterior of the International Space Station.

DLR and Teledyne said Oct. 24 during a press conference at the 70th International Astronautical Congress here that the DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer, DESIS, is fully functional after a year of testing and calibration.

Representatives from DLR and Teledyne hailed the DESIS hosted payload as a model public-private partnership, saying the program stayed perfectly on schedule, but declined to discuss costs.

Jack Ickes, Teledyne's senior vice president of Geospatial Solutions and International Manufacturing, said the company and the agency contributed "nearly equal" amounts to fund the multi-million dollar program.

He said attaching DESIS to the ISS reduced the mission cost to about a third that of a free-flying satellite.

"ISS is the largest flying satellite ever created and we're taking advantage of that as our hosting platform," he said.

Teledyne co-funded DESIS in exchange for commercial access to its imagery. DLR is using the imager for science. DESIS, as a hyperspectral imager, can sense the Earth in 235 spectral bands spanning from visual to near-infrared, allowing users to generate more measurements than purely optical imagers.

Uwe Knodt, DLR's project manager for DESIS, said the imager can monitor vegetation stress, detect oil spills, and identify the spectral signature of plastic garbage patches out at sea.

DESIS also detected Neodymium, a rare-earth metal used in electronics, he said.  Knodt said the detection — found on Earth's surface, not underground, was the first time a rare-earth metal has been detected from space.

From the ISS's 400-kilometer altitude, DESIS has a ground resolution of 30 meters and a spectral resolution of 2.55 nanometers. The sensor has a design life of five years, Ickes said.  

DESIS occupies one of four payload slots on Teledyne's MUSES — Multiple User System for Earth Sensing — Earth observation platform on the ISS. Ickes said the company is finalizing a contract with a prospective customer for the second payload slot, and is in talks with DLR to use the third.

"Data fusion is the future, wh ere you can fly four instruments side by side coincident, and fuse the data," Ickes said. Ideally, the value of MUSES increases, and the value of each instrument increases, as we add them."

He said an announcement regarding a second MUSES customer should happen before the end of the year.

NASA, Industry Partner for Space-based Study of Potential Alzheimer's Key

An innovative experiment underway on the International Space Station could help researchers make new progress in the fight against aggressive neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The Ring-Sheared Drop experiment, developed and led by Teledyne Brown Engineering of Huntsville, Alabama, will be housed in the station's Microgravity Science Glovebox to enable study of the formation of potentially destructive amyloid fibrils, or protein clusters, like those found in the brain tissue of patients battling neurodegenerative diseases. Such illnesses may cause neurons, the drivers of the human nervous system, to become damaged or inoperative.

Normal brain functions may be disrupted by amyloid fibrils. These proteins can denature -- or lose characteristic properties -- and precipitate out of solution. As they accumulate over time, they may disrupt the healthy function of tissues and organs. In cases of brain function and diseases such as Alzheimer's, that disruption can be profoundly debilitating and even fatal.


The Ring-Sheared Drop experiment hardware, installed inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox, will help investigators understand protein aggregation associated with devastating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

"This project is a prime example of the amazing discoveries and advancements possible with partnering between NASA, research and industry," said Jan Hess, president of Teledyne Brown. "Our hope is that this experiment brings the scientific community closer to unlocking the mysteries of this life-altering disease that affects so many people worldwide every day."

In Earth-based experiments, researchers determined that amyloid fibrils may be created by shear flow, or the difference in flow velocity between adjacent layers of a liquid. In the case of ground experiments, that formation is affected by the presence of container walls and by convection, or the circular motion that occurs when warmer liquid rises while cooler liquid descends.

The goal now is to conduct experiments in microgravity -- in a containerless reactor -- where the liquid specimens form spherical drops, containing themselves via surface tension. Researchers will "pin" a droplet of liquid between two rings and cultivate amyloid fibrils for study.

"Experimentation in microgravity affords the opportunity to study amyloid fibril formation under conditions that eliminate unwanted effects such as contact with solid walls which can affect the results of normal laboratory experiments," said Kevin Depew, a researcher in the ISS Projects Office, part of the Human Exploration Development and Operations Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. "The team has worked very hard and we are expecting a great return."

The project partners, led by principal investigator Amir Hirsa at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, New York, also seek to extend the value of their innovative experiment hardware for other uses, adapting the Ring-Sheared Drop facility as a space-based bioreactor, customizable for other fluid studies or to grow and study cells, bacteria, algae and other materials.

The experiment was launched to the station in July on a SpaceX commercial resupply services mission. Experiments began in September, and the study is expected to continue at least two years. Under contract to Marshall, Teledyne Brown developed the hardware with funding from the Space Life & Physical Sciences Research & Applications Division of NASA's Human Exploration & Operations Mission Directorate. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Emerald City Initiatives of Huntsville also partnered on the project. Marshall manages the Microgravity Science Glovebox for NASA.

NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan appeared live from the International Space Station today at the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) 2019 conference in Los Angeles in a proof-of-concept test that could pave the way for using the cloud to stream video live from the Moon and Mars.

The test took place during a special SMPTE program Oct. 24 honoring the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, and supported a special live conversation between astronauts Koch, Meir and Morgan 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station, and two NASA colleagues presenting at SMPTE 2019 in Los Angeles. Koch and Meir were fresh from the first all-female spacewalk.

The interactive exchange between space and Earth expanded on a workflow first established for the first-ever live 4K stream from space in 2017, and represented the first use of cloud resources for data storage and video origination for streaming from space. The collaborative test by NASA and Amazon Web Services (AWS) took advantage of cloud-based media services to originate, package, transport and process secure broadcast-quality content delivery to an audience of experts dedicated to advancing moving-imagery engineering.

NASA is seeking innovative ways to reduce the cost and complexity of live streaming from space as it prepares to send the first woman and next man to the lunar face by 2024 through its Artemis architecture. By shifting 90 percent of that workload into the cloud instead of using traditional ground-based broadcast video processing, satellite long-haul transport, and content delivery infrastructures, the workflow helps reduce the cost and complexity of streaming video from space to scientists and viewers on Earth.

NASA Imagery Experts Program Manager Rodney Grubbs, from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and Dylan Mathis, space station program communications manager at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, were discussing the challenges of sharing imagery from space and the need for solutions to help manage the radiation that damages sensors and electronic components, the use of virtual reality and 360-degree cameras to reduce size and mass and the impact of extreme temperatures on camera operation.

SMPTE 2019 honored the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission with "Imaging Among the Stars: The Moon, Mars, Deep Space, and Home Again" featuring astronauts, engineers, directors, cinematographers, and visual effects artists who have played a critical role in allowing people around the world to appreciate and connect with the vastness of space, the stark landscape of the Moon, the beauty of Earth from afar, and distant planets.

The space-to-ground conversation was broadcast on NASA TV and streamed online on https://live.awsevents.com/awselemental, the interview is available on both platforms for on-demand viewing.
