08.11.2024 o 18:50 CET rozpoczął się trwający około 12,5 minuty manewr silnikowy (Δv~0,3 m/s) mający na celu podniesienie orbity ISS za pomocą statku CRS-31 Dragon2.
Wysokość perygeum wzrosła o około 110 metrów, a apogeum o 1,2 km.
Celem było przetestowanie modułu serwisowego statku kosmicznego i silników rakietowych w niestandardowym trybie pracy.
Są to informacje niezbędne do zaprojektowania statku kosmicznego USDV.
Przed piątkowym manewrem ISS obróciła się o 180° wokół osi Z i dwie godziny później powróciła do swojej pierwotnej orientacji.

CRS-31: As expected, the change in the station's orbit was minimal - a 7/100 of a mile boost at apogee and 7/10 of a mile at perigee - but the test showed the Dragon can, in fact, provide reboost capability; equally significant, the data will be fed into SpaceX's development of a new vehicle designed to drive the lab into the atmosphere for a safe breakup after it is retired in 2030 (2/2)

Сегодня в 19:47 мск включились двигатели «Прогресса МС-28», проработали 1894,4 секунды, выдав импульс величиной 2,82 м/с.
В результате, средняя высота орбиты станции увеличилась на 4,9 км и составила 417,23 км над поверхностью Земли.
📸 Ожидаем старт грузового корабля «Прогресс МС-29» 21 ноября, а его стыковку с Международной космической станцией — 23 ноября.

According to preliminary information, the ISS’s average orbit was increased by 4.9 km to 417.2 km above Earth
MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. The International Space Station orbit was corrected before the launch of the Progress MS-29 cargo spacecraft, Roscosmos reported.
"The ISS orbit was correct today ahead of the arrival of the Progress MS-29 cargo spacecraft," the state corporation said.
According to preliminary information, the ISS’s average orbit was increased by 4.9 km to 417.2 km above Earth. The maneuver was performed using the Progress MS-28 spacecraft engines. They were engaged at 19:47 (Moscow time) and worked for 1,894.4 seconds.
The current ISS crew includes Roscosmos cosmonauts Ivan Vagner (TASS special reporter at the ISS), Alexey Ovchinnik and Alexander Gorbunov, NASA astronauts Don Pettit and Nick Hague, as well as their colleagues Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who arrived at the station within the first Boeing Starliner manned mission.

DNA analysis of new bacteria species on @Space_Station found adaptations to spaceflight, including increased antibiotic resistance. These adaptations could lead to biotech innovations, such as engineering more resilient organisms for future space missions. http://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-024-01916-8

Five kinds of seeds were returned to the Choctaw Nation after spending six months aboard @Space_Station. Next spring, students will track the seeds’ post-spaceflight growth on Earth, braiding Western with Indigenous knowledge.

International Space Station Research Communications Team Nov 12, 2024
The Choctaw Heirloom Seeds investigation flew five varieties of heirloom seeds from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma aboard the International Space Station in early November 2023. The seeds are Isito (Choctaw Sweet Potato Squash), Tobi (Smith Peas), Tanchi Tohbi (Flour Corn), Tvnishi (Lambsquarter), and Chukfi Peas. The seeds spent six months aboard station, returning to Earth in April 2024.
Next spring, Jones Academy students will plant the space-flown seeds alongside Earth-bound seeds of the same type in the school’s Growing Hope Garden. Students will hypothesize how the seeds will grow and make observations throughout the growing season.
Middle school teachers are developing curriculum incorporating the seeds’ journey to space station and students’ experiments in the garden. This research could impact Native and Indigenous populations across the United States, inviting underrepresented groups to engage with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
