国际空间站访问南帕德雷岛

国际空间站访问南帕德雷岛

While the International Space Station orbited over the Gulf of Mexico on Sept. 19, 2022, NASA astronaut Bob Hines captured this image of South Padre Island, a barrier island along the coast of Texas. The island is part of the greater Padre Island, the longest barrier island in the world, which spans a length of 113 miles (182 kilometers). Barrier islands along the Gulf and East coasts of North America play a critical role protecting the mainland from the damaging effects of storms. They bear the brunt of large storm surges and reduce flooding on the mainland.

为空间站提供更多电力

为空间站提供更多电力

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata is pictured in his Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or spacesuit, during his spacewalk on Feb. 2, 2023. He and NASA astronaut Nicole Mann, who took this photo, installed a modification kit on the International Space Station’s starboard truss structure that will enable the future installation of the orbiting lab’s next roll-out solar array. Four solar arrays, or iROSAs, have been installed so far, and two additional arrays will be mounted to the installed platforms during future spacewalks.

宇航员看到的月球

The waxing gibbous Moon stands out in this Jan. 2, 2023, image from the International Space Station as it orbited 269 miles above the southern Indian Ocean. In 24 hours, the space station makes 16 orbits of Earth, traveling through 16 sunrises and sunsets.

智利的火山羽流

智利的火山羽流

Chile’s Villarrica volcano emits steam and other volcanic gases in this photo taken from the International Space Station on Jan. 17, 2023. The gases come from a series of minor explosions—called Strombolian eruptions—that have been ongoing at Villarrica since October 2022. Located along Chile’s southern Andes, Villarrica is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes in South America; it typically erupts every three to six years. Image Credit: NASA 2023年1月17日,在国际空间站拍摄的这张照片中,智利的维拉里卡火山喷出蒸汽和其他火山气体。这些气体来自一系列被称为斯特龙博利亚火山爆发的小型爆炸,自2022年10月以来一直在比利亚里卡持续发生。 比利亚里卡火山位于智利安第斯山脉南部,是南美洲最活跃、最危险的火山之一;它通常每三到六年爆发一次。 影像来源:NASA

里根总统呼吁建立空间站

里根总统呼吁建立空间站

On Jan. 25, 1984, President Ronald Reagan used his State of the Union address to call for NASA to build a permanent crewed space station. While Reagan’s speech took place in a broader sociopolitical context of generally heightened tensions with the Soviet Union, his remarks foreshadowed the international cooperation that has characterized the International Space Station. He called for NASA to invite other countries to participate “so we can strengthen peace, build prosperity, and expand freedom for all who share our goals.” Credit: National Archives and Records Administration 1984年1月25日,罗纳德·里根总统在他的国情咨文中呼吁NASA建立一个永久性的载人空间站。 虽然里根的演讲是在与苏联紧张关系普遍加剧更广泛的社会政治背景下进行,但他的演讲预示着国际空间站的国际合作。他呼吁NASA邀请其他国家参与,“这样我们就可以为所有与我们有共同目标的人加强和平,建设繁荣,扩大自由。” 影像来源:National Archives and Records Administration

被冰雪覆盖的天山

被冰雪覆盖的天山

Snow and ice cover mountains of the Tien Shan range in this photograph taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on Feb. 9, 2022. The Tien Shan—which means heavenly mountains in Chinese—is one of the largest mountain ranges in the world, extending approximately 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) across Central Asia, mostly along the border between Kyrgyzstan and China. The glaciers covering these slopes are a crucial source of water for nearby farmers and residents. See more wintery photos from the ISS. Image Credit: NASA 2022年2月9日,在国际空间站拍摄的这张照片中,冰雪覆盖着天山山脉。天山,中文意思是“天上的山”,是世界上最大的山脉之一,横跨中亚大约2,500公里(1,550英里),主要沿着吉尔吉斯斯坦和中国的边界。覆盖这些斜坡的冰川是附近农民和居民的重要水源。 查看更多来自国际空间站的冬季照片。 图片来源:NASA

流体物理的乐趣

流体物理的乐趣

NASA astronaut and Expedition 68 Flight Engineer Frank Rubio is all smiles as he observes the behavior of a free-flying water bubble inside the International Space Station’s (ISS) Kibo laboratory module on Oct. 10, 2022. Fluid physics is the study of liquid and gas motion and the effects of forces on liquids and gases. The International Space Station’s low-gravity environment offers a unique place to study fluid physics. Nearly weightless conditions allow researchers to observe and control fluid phenomena in ways not possible on Earth. Learn more about fluid physics research on the ISS.
