First Orbital Sciences Cygnus ISS resupply spacecraft. Named SS G. David Low after the late astronaut, son of the former NASA administrator, and Orbital employee. The Cygnus consisted of a pressurized cargo module (PCM) built by Thales Alenia in Torino, and a service module (SM) built by Orbital/Dulles. The craft carried 700 kg of cargo. Intiial orbit was 261 km x 277 km x 51.6 deg; at 20:07 GMT this was raised to 274 km x 384 km. On 22 September the first attempt at rendezvous with the ISS was cancelled due to a software problem in the GPS navigation system; Cygnus passed ISS at a distance of 4 km at 08:45 GMT. On 29 September Cygnus completed its rendezvous with ISS, reaching a 250 m hold point at 09:08 GMT. The SSRMS arm captured Cygnus at 11:00 GMT, and after berthing to the Harmony module of the ISS he astronauts began unloading the ship's cargo. Cygnus unberthed from Harmony at 10:04 GMT on 22 October and was released into a 415 x 419 km orbit by the SSRMS at 11:31 GMT. On 23 October Cygnus conducted its retrofire burn at 17:41 GMT, and burnt up at 18:16 GMT over the South Pacific.

“Not of Earthly Pace”: Memories of New Years Spent in Space

Back in 1973-74, astronauts Gerry Carr, Ed Gibson and Bill Pogue—were six weeks into their 84-day Skylab 4 mission when they endured (rather than enjoyed) the passage of one year into the next. (...)

Doing an EVA (extravehicular activity) or spacewalk is the highlight of many space missions. Two people, operating in one of the most extreme environments possible, takes a hardworking, dedicated team and years of training to get to that point. Is it worth the risk? You bet it is! #OTD 2016 #space

Ich podstawowym zadaniem była wymiana SSU w bloku DCSU kanału 1B (zadanie wykonano), oraz dokończenie rozprowadzenia na powierzchni modułów Unity i Destiny kabli zasilania i sterowania, przeznaczonych dla IDA (International Docking Adapter) - to zadanie zostało przerwane. Prócz tego zainstalowano zawór bezodrzutowy na powierzchni modułu Tranquility, oraz miano zdjąć przepalone oświetlenie kamery, umieszczonej na kratownicy stacji. EVA miała zakończyć się planowo o 19:25 i trwać 6 godzin i 30 minut, ale po pojawieniu się około 16:57 wody w hełmie Kopry, została przerwana. Formalny koniec EVA nastąpił o 17:31, a zatem trwała ona 4 godziny i 43 minuty.

Comet Lovejoy in near-infrared from @ISS on December 26, 2011 (1st photo) and normal visible image taken on December 22, 2011 (2nd photo).  I was surprised that in this instance, the Ir image did not reveal any remarkable detail, actually less detail, than the normal visible image. Nikon D3s with ir-blocking filter replaced with fused silica window, 58mm f1.2, ISO 6400, 0.77 sec and D3s un-modified, (this image by fellow crew mate Dan Burbank).

What camera did you use to photograph it?
There's a possibility that the windows on the ISS might be blocking some IR wavelengths.
Also most lenses aren't made for IR, so they may be softer, or be a bit out of focus compared to a visible light photo. Especially if it's a camera that's been converted to see multiple spectrums. Like visible light and IR at the same time, and it's shooting multiple spectrums at the same time.
Lenses also tend to transmit less IR then visible light as well. I was looking at some documents Zeiss put out, and there was about a 33% drop in transmission once you crossed into IR (IIRC) for some specific lenses. So, if a camera is exposing for visible light, you might get "dimmer" photos, showing less detail due to under-exposure.
Shooting in IR can be super fickle. And some times, even if you account for everything, you still get surprised by what you see.

Of course I missed the camera details. 😂 But everything still holds true. Mirrorless cameras definitely tend to handle IR focusing better. My IR only D750 DSLR can really struggle with it.

(...) Astronauts breathed into the device in the reduced pressure of an airlock to simulate conditions in future habitats on the Moon or Mars. Lead investigator Lars Karlsson of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute hopes that the experiment opens new fields of research in reduced pressure in space. Exhaled nitric oxide measurements also could be used to identify the most effective molecules for use in drugs to treat inflamed airways and lungs.

“One group of experiments that I enjoy most are those where we investigate our own human systems to help people with illnesses on Earth,” says ESA astronaut Alex Gerst, who participated in the Airway Monitoring investigation. “It’s another example of how we need to fly to space to help people down here.” (...)

Humans have lived on ISS for 25 years: here's how they left their mark

November 2, 2025 — The International Space Station has, as of today (Nov. 2), served for every day of the last 25 years as a continuous home for a total of 162 people from 12 countries (290 people from 26 countries if including visitors). All of the residents made a mark by contributing to the station's assembly or using the platform to conduct science. (...)

The lasting record of the astronauts and cosmonauts' part in the past 25 years of an uninterrupted human presense are colorful appliques, sometimes enhanced by their signatures. All of the expedition crews are represented by their emblems, as 4-inch (10.2-cm) decals added to the space station's walls.

"I would say maybe some of the panels that have stickers of the station's crews. So these panels would be the nice candidates to return maybe," said current ISS resident, Expedition 73 flight engineer Kimiya Yui, in a pre-flight interview with collectSPACE about what components of the ISS would best represent the human story after its retirement and destruction.

25 years of memories

The ISS has been the backdrop for historic and personal moments alike over the last 25 years. One of the first astronauts to land at the station, Russian Yuri Malenchenko, married his wife Ekaterina Dmitriev from 380 kilometres above the Earth in 2003.

In 2004, American astronaut Mike Fincke listened from the ISS as his wife gave birth to their daughter, Tarali, near Houston, Texas. In the Indian dialect spoken by his wife’s family, Tara means “star”.

There’s been tragedy too for those onboard the ISS. American Daniel Tani mourned family from the station in 2007, when ground crews told him that his 90-year-old mother had died in a car crash.

Then in 2011, American astronaut Scott Kelly found out that his sister-in-law, US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, had been shot in the head and survived.

One of the most recent ISS missions is also one of the most memorable. In 2024, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams went up to the ISS to test Boeing’s new Starliner capsule in what was supposed to be a weeklong trip. (...)

6) NASA looking at what artifacts to save from ISS before 2030 demise

July 17, 2024 — Two years after stating there were no plans to save artifacts from the destructive end of the International Space Station (ISS), NASA is now in the early stages of identifying what small parts of the orbiting laboratory to preserve.

Agency officials on Wednesday (July 17) shared the preliminary details during a media briefing about the space station's end of life in 2030 and the selection of SpaceX to build the vehicle that will move the massive complex out of orbit such that it mostly burns up in Earth's atmosphere and plunge any surviving fragments into a remote area of the ocean.

"Twenty-five years out of the 60 years [of human spaceflight] has been on ISS," said Ken Bowersox, NASA's associate administrator for space operations and a former astronaut who spent 161 days aboard the station as the commander of its sixth crewed expedition.

"People tend to see different things about the ISS that are interesting to them, whether that's the international cooperation, where we've worked with so many different countries; whether it's the thousands of experiments that have been conducted in microgravity; whether it's the human research; whether it's the assembly that we did, showing how you can put together large structures in space; the exploration operations that we practice; or what we've learned about the human body and microgravity," he said.

Celebrating 25 Years of Humanity in Space
Sumer Loggins Johnson Space Center Office of Communications Nov 19, 2025

In 2025, NASA and its international partners celebrate 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station. Since November 2, 2000, more than 290 people from 26 countries have lived and worked aboard the orbiting laboratory, conducting thousands of experiments that have advanced science and technology on Earth and paved the way for Artemis missions to the Moon and future journeys to Mars.

Beyond its role as a science platform, the station has been a bridge—connecting cultures, sparking creativity, and inspiring generations. The memories of Johnson Space Center employees reflect how the orbiting laboratory is not only an engineering marvel but also a deeply human endeavor.

As a space station Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) integrator, Christopher Brown’s role has been ensuring astronauts have clean air and water. ECLSS removes carbon dioxide from the air, supplies oxygen for breathing, and recycles wastewater—turning yesterday’s coffee into tomorrow’s coffee. Today, these systems can recover nearly 98% of the water brought to the station. 

His proudest memory was commissioning regenerative life support systems and raising a symbolic toast with the crew while on console in mission control. He also helped activate the Water Storage System, saving crew time and improving operations on station. For Brown, these milestones were vital steps toward future long-duration missions beyond Earth.

Stephanie Sipila, now integration manager for NASA’s Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program, began her career as a mechanical and robotic systems instructor for the orbital outpost. Her favorite experiment, Engineered Heart Tissues, studies microgravity’s effect on the human heart to help develop new treatments for cardiovascular disease. She recalls NASA astronaut Sunita Williams running the Boston Marathon on a treadmill aboard station, becoming the first person to complete the race in space and showing how astronauts stay connected to Earth while living on orbit. 

Sipila also highlights the Spacesuit Art Project, an initiative that turned artwork from children with cancer into spacesuits flown to and worn aboard the orbital outpost during live downlinks, connecting science, art, and hope — and raising awareness of cancer research conducted aboard the orbital outpost.


Liz Warren – Where Exploration Meets Humanity

Space station Associate Chief Scientist Liz Warren has seen firsthand how the Spacesuit Art Project uplifted children on Earth. During Expedition 52, she watched astronaut Jack Fischer wear a suit covered in artwork created by young cancer patients, including his own daughter, a survivor. “It was incredibly touching to note the power of art and inspiration. Human spaceflight requires fortitude, resilience, and teamwork—so does fighting childhood cancer,” Warren said.

Her memories also extend to her time as an operations lead for NASA’s Human Research Program, which uses research to develop methods to protect the health and performance of astronauts in space to prepare for long-duration missions. While out for a weekend run, Warren received a call from the Payload Operations and Integration Center in Huntsville, Alabama. An astronaut on station, following a prescribed diet for a research study, wanted to swap out a food item. Warren coordinated with her support team and relayed the decision back to orbit—all while continuing her run. The moment, she recalls, underscored the constant, real-time connection between astronauts in space and teams on the ground.

As an aerospace engineer, Adam Baker helped track experiments and spacecraft operations from mission control. Baker remembers when mission control played a live chess match with astronaut Greg Chamitoff during Expedition 17, a moment that showed the unique ways the station connects crews in orbit with people on Earth. His favorite technical project, though, was the RemoveDebris small satellite, deployed from the station in 2018 to test technologies for cleaning up space junk. “Knowing these experiments could one day help keep the orbital environment safe made it even more meaningful,” he said.

For social media consultant Mark Garcia, sharing the station story with the public has been the highlight of his career. His favorite moment was watching NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 splash down in 2025, greeted by dolphins in the Gulf of America. “I love writing about the science aboard the station that benefits people on Earth,” he said.

For 25 years, the International Space Station has shown what humanity can accomplish together. The lessons learned aboard will guide Artemis missions to the Moon and future journeys to Mars—ensuring the next 25 years are built on innovation, resilience, and the human spirit.

♻️ Recycling water in space is an engineering challenge.
🤓 If you're up for a geeky overview of how the system works in the US segment of the Space Station, we've got you covered.

6) Na ISS zużywa się pół litra wody dziennie na mycie i szczotkowanie zębów, podczas gdy na Ziemi potrzeba 50 litrów na prysznic.
Cytuj
🚿 In space, you get half a litre of water daily to wash and brush your teeth, compared to the 50 litres you would use for a shower on Earth.

7) Na ISS recyklinguje się do 80% wody.
Astronauci piją wodę z potu, moczu i wydychanego powietrza.

First Flower Grown in Space Station’s Veggie Facility
NASA Jan 19, 2016

On Jan. 16, 2016, Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly shared photographs of a blooming zinnia flower in the Veggie plant growth system aboard the International Space Station.

This flowering crop experiment began on Nov. 16, 2015, when NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren activated the Veggie system and its rooting “pillows” containing zinnia seeds. The challenging process of growing the zinnias provided an exceptional opportunity for scientists back on Earth to better understand how plants grow in microgravity, and for astronauts to practice doing what they’ll be tasked with on a deep space mission: autonomous gardening.

10 years ago today astronauts shared the first flower grown in space. Growing plants is more difficult than you might think, roots get confused, watering is difficult, and artificial lighting is a challenge. Over the years we have made much progress cultivating plants in space, but this Zinnia is special because it was the first to complete flowering in the controlled veggie system, something we will need to master if we want to colonize another planet!
