To make room for the latest cargo craft, on Nov. 29 the Progress 73 departed the station after undocking from the Pirs docking compartment, as shown in this image. Loaded with trash, the craft was deorbited a few hours later and burned up safely over the Pacific Ocean. Traveling approximately 260 miles over the Yellow Sea east of Shanghai, the automated Russ...
版权：NASA 国际空间站（International Space Station）外又添新的冷却系统；首次靠近太阳的探测器首次发布数据结果；猎户座（Orion）飞船准备接受重要测试……最近新闻速递，尽在「本周NASA」！ 12月2日，美国航空航天局（NASA）的安德鲁•摩根（Andrew Morgan）和欧洲空间局（ESA）的卢卡•帕米塔诺（Luca Parmitano）在国际空间站外进行了一次太空行走，这是为整修阿尔法磁谱仪（Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer，AMS）的一系列太空行走中的第三次。AMS是一种宇宙粒子探测器，本次太空行走中，宇航员为AMS安装了新的冷却系统，地球上的控制团队在安装之后成功为其供电。 此前从未有航天器近距离飞掠太阳，而帕克太阳探测器（Parker Solar...
Robots need a place to stay in space, too. NASA is attaching a “robot hotel” to the outside of the International Space Station with the upcoming launch of the Robotic Tool Stowage (RiTS), a protective storage unit for critical robotic tools. On Dec. 4, RiTS is slated to launch aboard the 19th SpaceX commercial resupply mission. Its first residents will be tw...
Thanksgiving 2019 Aboard the Space Station Right now, half of the crew members on board the International Space Station are American astronauts who are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, and they have a message for us. View the video to see what the holiday means to NASA’s Christina Koch, Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan and get a look at what Thanksgivi...
NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan is seen here tethered to the Starboard-3 truss segment work site during the second spacewalk to repair the International Space Station’s cosmic particle detector, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. During the 6.5 hour spacewalk, Morgan and Station Commander Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency the two successfully cut ...
Station Commander Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency conducts repairs while attached to the space station’s robotic arm during the first spacewalk to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on Nov. 15, 2019. He and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan (out of frame) worked for more than six hours outside the International Space Station and successfully po...
iss061e028414 (Nov. 4, 2019) — The U.S. Cygnus space freighter from Northrop Grumman is pictured in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm as it was installed to the Unity module for 70 days of cargo transfers. iss061e028414(2019年11月4日)——被安装到Unity模块进行70天的货物运输的加拿大机械臂-2（Canadarm2），成功捕获了来自诺斯罗普·格鲁曼公司的美国天鹅座宇宙飞船。
版权:NASA 商业伙伴的一个重要里程碑；向空间站提供新补给；南方天空的全新宽视野景象……最近新闻速递，尽在「本周NASA」！ 11月4日，NASA的商业伙伴波音公司成功完成了载人太空运输（CST）-100 星际飞机（Starliner）的首次飞行测试，这是NASA商业载人航天计划（Commercial Crew Program）的一部分。在位于新墨西哥州的美国陆军白沙导弹试验场（White Sands Missile Range），进行了发射台中止测试（Pad Abort Test），这是一个关键的安全里程碑，旨在验证星际飞机的每个系统既能单独运行也能协同运行，从而将宇航员安全地带离发射台，即使起飞前发生了可能性极小的紧急情况。与波音公司、SpaceX公司以及其他商业载人伙伴一起，NASA正努力将载人航天飞机...
国际空间站正在进行的一项创新实验可能会帮助研究人员在对抗阿尔茨海默症和帕金森氏症等侵袭性神经退行性疾病方面取得新的进展。 由位于阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔的特利丹布朗工程公司（Teledyne Brown Engineering）公司研发并领导的环剪跌落实验（The Ring-Sheared Drop experiment）将入驻空间站的微重力科学手套箱（Microgravity Science Glovebox），以便研究那些在与神经退行性疾病作斗争的患者的脑组织中所发现的潜在破坏性的淀粉样纤维或蛋白聚合体的形成。这类疾病可能会导致人类神经系统的驱动因素 – 神经元，受损或丧失功能。 正常的大脑功能可能被淀粉样纤维破坏。这些蛋白质会变性或失去特性，并从溶液中沉淀出来。随着时间的推移，它们可能会破坏组织和器...
The Northrop Grumman Antares rocket, with Cygnus resupply spacecraft onboard, launches from Pad-0A of NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Saturday, November 2, 2019, in Virginia. This is Northrop Grumman’s 12th contracted cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station, and is delivering about 8,200 pounds of science and research, crew supplies a...
