Po powrocie na Ziemię Dragona-12 aktualny schemat
statków połączonych z MSK (17.09.2017): Sojuz MS-05 i 06 oraz Progress MS-06.

Następny amerykański start zaopatrzeniowy to chyba listopad i Cygnus?

[mss]

Zgadza się, wg planów na dziś: 10.11. i Cygnus-8 (jeszcze bez nazwy astronauty!).

[kanarkusmaximus]

Natomiast Dragon CRS-13 poleci jeszcze przed końcem roku na ISS?

[mss]

Będą na pewno drobne korekty w harmonogramie na grudzień, ale może zdążą jego jeszcze w grudniu umieścić na orbicie? Będą jeszcze 3 amerykańskie spacerki w październiku i listopadzie, więc będzie się działo!

Koniec misji CRS-12
BY KRZYSZTOF KANAWKA ON 18 WRZEŚNIA 2017

(...) Miesiąc później, siedemnastego września zamknięto włazy pomiędzy Dragonem a Stacją. Na pokładzie Dragona umieszczono ponad 1720 kg próbek naukowych, zużytych części zamiennych oraz innych niepotrzebnych przedmiotów. Wodowanie u wybrzeży Kalifornii nastąpiło o godzinie 16:14 CEST.

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

(...) 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, within a day of splashdown, where 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. (...)


“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 euthanize the mice and examine the blood vessels inside animals’ eyes and the blood-brain barrier that regulates fluid movement inside the skull. (...)

Expedition 53 is gearing up for three maintenance spacewalks set to take place in October over a period of two weeks.

Commander Randy Bresnik began unpacking spacewalking gear today ahead of the first of three spacewalks set to begin Oct. 5. He will lead all three spacewalks with NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba. Vande Hei will join him on the first two and Acaba will participate in the final spacewalk. The trio will replace one of the two end effectors on the Canadarm2 robotic arm, lubricate the new component and replace cameras at two locations on the station’s truss.

Pierwszy amerykański spacer kosmiczny pierwotnie zaplanowany na 05.10 został opóźniony o 5 dni czyli aktualnie jest zaplanowany 10.10. z udziałem dowócy MSK Randy Bresnika i inżyniera pokładowego Marka Vande Hei.

RELL (Robotic External Leak Locator ) pracując na zewnątrz ISS pozwolił określić poziom wycieku amoniaku , a w następstwie udało się określić źródło wycieku. Jego praca wyeliminowała potrzebę przeprowadzenia EVA.

NASA’s Robotic ‘Sniffer’ Confirms Space Station Leak, Repair

(...) RELL was launched to the space station aboard a Orbital ATK resupply mission in 2015. It was stowed aboard the space station for several months before NASA astronaut Kate Rubins loaded it onto the Japanese Experiment Module slide table. The slide table was extended into space where robotic operators from NASA Johnson controlled the Dextre robot to grab RELL and run it through initial testing. Engineers on the ground verified RELL was functioning properly and effectively communicating back to Johnson.

RELL’s instruments provide directionally sensitive measurements of the amount and kind of gases present. By taking samples, RELL established baseline readings for amounts and kinds of gases which are normally present outside the station. These baseline readings matched what engineers expected, but RELL detected an ammonia signature during the final portion of testing. (...)

Space Station Receives New Space Tool to Help Locate Ammonia Leaks
Dec. 22, 2015

(...) If IRELL’s concept is proven successful, the robotic tool could potentially greatly reduce the time that astronauts spend on spacewalks finding and repairing external leaks on the ISS.  Future versions of IRELL could also potentially support other programs and vehicles operating in low Earth orbit and beyond.
