ISS - Międzynarodowa Stacja Kosmiczna (2016)

[station]

EMU# 3005 ma zostać dostarczony na Ziemię na pokładzie Dragona CRS-9 pod koniec sierpnia 2016.

Skafander zgodnie z planem został sprowadzony na Ziemię na pokładzie Dragona CRS-9 (jedynego pojazdu transportującego ładunki z powrotem z pokładu Stacji na Ziemię).
Aktualnie na jej pokładzie zostały 4 jednostki EMU: #3003, #3006, #3008 i #3010.

Czy jednostka 3005 była uszkodzona? czy to standardowa wymiana na potrzeby przeglądu itp.

Czy jednostka 3005 była uszkodzona? czy to standardowa wymiana na potrzeby przeglądu itp.

Nie, ale na Stacji była już od 2010 roku i standardowa wymiana!

(B49) Canadian smoke plume.
   
(B50) This Lord’s Day morning I read a familiar, yet always humbling passage from chapter 26 of the Book of Job—I would encourage anyone to read the whole but here is an excerpt… “[God] hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the waters in His thick clouds...” and later… “ Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways…” Amazing! ...grateful for His peace and standing in His grace.

(B51) Set sail down the Belize coastline, enjoy the coral reefs along the way.

(B52) Reptile scales, or incredible and rugged geology in Morocco?

The new high-definition video camera installed during Thursday’s spacewalk is now in service and providing better external views.

Two astronauts are cleaning up after a spacewalk while a pair of cosmonauts are getting a Soyuz spacecraft ready for departure after the Labor Day weekend. On the ground, three new crew members are preparing for a launch to the International Space Station at the end of the month.

Commander Jeff Williams and Flight Engineer Kate Rubins completed a spacewalk Thursday, retracting a thermal radiator and installing a pair of high definition cameras. Today, the astronauts are recharging spacesuits and tidying up the Quest airlock by stowing their tools and other spacewalk gear.

The Expedition 48 crew now turns its attention to a change of command on Monday, followed by three crew members returning to Earth the Tuesday. Williams will hand over station control to cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin before going home the following day with Flight Engineers Oleg Skripochka and Alexey Ovchinin.

The trio will undock Tuesday at 5:51 p.m. EDT inside the Soyuz TMA-20M spacecraft officially ending the Expedition 48 mission. After a few hours they will parachute to a landing in Kazakhstan after 5-1/2 months in space.

Back on Earth, new station crew members Shane Kimbrough, Sergey Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko participated in traditional ceremonies and final qualification exams. They will join the Expedition 49 crew two days after their Sept. 23 launch inside the Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft.

(B53) Take a flight over these massive Namibia dunes. Some reach over 900 feet high. Sossusvlei dunes in Namib-Naukluft National Park.

(B55) Who can tell us what this geometrical square grid structure is near the south cape of the Big Island of#Hawaii?

(B56) Ridge...or canyon? So much detail, it's almost an optical illusion in this shot of @GrandCanyonNPS.#FindYourPark

(B57) Some of the most beautiful desert formations in the world…salt domes in the Great Salt Desert of eastern Iran from @iss

(B59) Rio and nearby clouds just a few minutes ago. Anticipating the opening of the Rio 2016 Olympics!

(B60) Fascinating beauty from nature's intricacy. Mountains and valley fog imitate clouds and lightning near Lake Titicaca.

(B61) The large white dunes of Lencóis Maranhenses National Park on the northeast Brazilian coast are unique in their repeating and ordered scalloped pattern and stand out in contrast to the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent terrain.

(B62) Good Morning! Horizon sun glint.

(B69) The Poteidaia Canal, on the Kassandra Peninsula in Greece, was likely first dug during the Roman Empire and then recut in the 1820’s. It appears that coastal currents and erosion over 2000 years have displaced the two sides of the isthmus.

(B76) Coral reefs and sand waves, Mozambique Bazaruto Archipelago

(B86) This city is Chalcis, Greece. The island of Euboea, on which the city is located, cannot get any closer to the mainland.

(B89) Prominent clouds cast their long shadows on the horizon.

(B90) I will certainly miss this view! But it’s time to return home to the planet and I do so with a tremendous sense of gratitude toward my crewmates, the ground teams, supporting friends around the globe, and my family.

(B78) Good night from @iss
