Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) will be the first cosmic ray instrument designed to detect at such higher energy ranges, and over such an extended duration in space. Scientists hope to discover whether cosmic rays are accelerated by a single cause, which is believed to be supernovae. The new research also could determine why there are fewer cosmic rays detected at very high energies than are theorized to exist.https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/1114.html
High-performance optical fiber has been extensively used for efficient and compact ultraviolet, visible, and infrared fiber lasers due to its low intrinsic loss, wide transparency window, and small phonon energy. This technology enables advances in many different sectors, including medical devices such as laser scalpels and endoscopes, sensors for the aerospace and defense industry, and telecommunications applications. The optical fiber ZBLAN has the potential to far exceed the performance of other fibers in common use. Despite this, the terrestrially produced fiber suffers from glass impurities and microcrystal formation which contribute to scattering and absorption loss, reducing performance. Microgravity has been shown to significantly reduce these imperfections, and production of fibers in space may enable not only improved materials but also a new frontier in manufacturing and space utilization.https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/2421.html
The US Army Space Missile Defense Command is developing Kestrel Eye as an electro-optical nanosatellite-class imagery satellite that will be tasked by the tactical ground component Warfighter. Capable of producing 1.5 meter resolution imagery, Kestrel Eye’s data will be downlinked directly to the same Warfighter via a data relay network that is also accessible by other Warfighters in theater without any continental United States (CONUS) relay or data filtering.http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/kestrel-eye-2m.htm
The intent is to demonstrate a tactical space-based imagery nanosat that could be proliferated in large numbers to provide a persistent capability to ground forces. The primary objective of the demonstration will be to task the satellite to take a picture of a designated ground object of interest and have that image relayed back to the ground Warfighter during the same satellite pass (i.e., within an approximately 10-minute tasking-to-product cycle).
SpaceVR aims to give everyone the opportunity to experience the truly infinite, boundless Universe through virtual reality. Its debut satellite, Overview 1, will use 4K sensors to capture extremely high resolution, fully immersive, 360-degree video of every breathtaking moment that occurs on our home planet. The content will be viewable on any virtual reality device, ranging from smartphones to Oculus Rift to extreme resolution devices such as the StarVR.https://www.spacevr.co/press-release/
The research objectives of the Spaceborne Computer include a year-long experiment of operating high performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer systems on the ISS with its changing radiation climate. During high radiation events, the electrical power consumption and, therefore, the operating speeds of the computer systems are lowered in an attempt to determine if such systems can still operate correctly. Additionally, this is a long duration experiment, studying the practicality of running and managing COTS high performance computer systems in orbit from several months to one year. In summary, the objectives are: 1) run compute and data intensive applications in a changing radiation climate, 2) monitor power consumption and dynamically tune the power consumed, and 3) determine effects of solar radiation on the systems while running. In order to achieve these objectives, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) proposes a total of four identical high performance COTS computer systems. Two of the systems are installed aboard the ISS in a side-by-side EXPRESS locker within an ISS EXPRESS Rack. These two systems with the required networking are integrated at the HPE facility and turned over to the ISS Cargo Mission Contract (CMC) as required.https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/2304.html
Będzie to ostatnia misja fabrycznie nowego Dragona.
The reuse of a Cargo Dragon is also arguably far more significant than it may initially appear. SpaceX has not provided any concrete information on the process of refurbishing the capsule, and it is entirely unclear if the “reuse” entailed much more than furnishing the CRS-4 pressure vessel and Draco thrusters with a new trunk, solar array, external shell. It is possible that, just like SES-10, the process of refurbishing a spacecraft for the first time resulted in little to no cost savings, and that this refurbishment took anywhere from several months to more than a year, with the CRS-4 capsule returning from orbit in late 2014. However, given the absolute rarity of reused capsule-type spacecraft, the data that engineers likely gathered throughout the process of refurbishing the Dragon would arguably make the whole process worthwhile even in the worst case scenarios described above. Hans Koenigsmann, Vice President of Mission Assurance at SpaceX, also noted in a press conference following CRS-11’s launch that the refurbishment of the capsule was somewhat uneventful, stating that the CRS-4 capsule had no unanticipated damage from the rigors of reentry and ocean landing and that SpaceX was already ready to consider using the capsule a third time. It’s likely that SpaceX will begin to rely more heavily on Cargo Dragon reuse as they refocus a majority of their manufacturing efforts on Dragon 2.

I stopień ma mieć używane nogi. Ze względu na start TDRS-M i rosyjski EVA następny termin dopiero 19/20 sierpnia.
dziwne , że jeszcze nie ma streama??
W tym miesiącu następny start będzie 12-tym dla spacex ; to oznacza magiczną częstotliwość 12/rok!!!!
Co się stanie z drugim stopniem?
A po jakim czasie od startu następuje deorbitacja?
Konferencja postartowa dość typowa ale jedna ciekawostka. NASA poważnie myśli nad wykorzystaniem używanego 1 stopnia w kolejnych lotach. Póki co planują nowy ale trwa wymiana danych i rozmowy. Zatem może nie w kolejnym locie ale w kolejnych? Nieustanny rozwój i nauka.
Nawet krócej. Drugi stopień przed deorbitacją nie wykonuje nawet jednej pełnej orbity. Obszar niebezpieczeństwa dla spadających resztek był aktywny 47 do 78 minut po starcie (Hans na konferencji po starcie potwierdził deorbirację, konferencja była o 20:00 czasu polskiego).
Dragon CRS-12 launched successfully at 1631:37UTC Aug 14 and tracked in a 202 x 358 km x 51.6 deg orbit on its way to ISS
Falcon 9 core B1039 landed 1639 UTC at Cape Canaveral LZ1. F9-40 stage 2 deorbited south of Australia about 1730 UTC
To chyba dziś Dragon przybywa do ISS? A o której?
