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 and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew.

This image of star trails was compiled from time-lapse photography taken by NASA astronaut Christina Koch from aboard the International Space Station, taken in July 2019. This composite image was made from more than 400 individual photos taken over a span of about 11 minutes as the station traveled from Namibia toward the Red Sea. The image includes many natural and artificial lights that an astronaut may see during an orbit at night. On the ground, stationary features like cities appear as pale yellow-white dotted streaks; with each dot marking another frame captured. Many of the thinner dotted lines with darker orange hues are fires burning across Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

NASA astronaut Christina Koch worked while tethered near the Port 6 truss segment of the International Space Station to replace older hydrogen-nickel batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries, during the October 11, 2019, spacewalk. Fellow NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan (out of frame) assisted Koch during the six-hour and 45-minute spacewalk. On Friday, October 18, 2019, Koch and fellow astronaut Jessica Meir will conduct the first all female spacewalk. They will replace a faulty battery charge/discharge unit (BCDU). The BCDU failed to activate following the installation of new lithium-ion batteries on the space station’s truss earlier this month.

NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor speaks about her experience on Expeditions 56 and 57 onboard the International Space Station to the students of the Excel Academy Public Charter School, Monday, June 10, 2019 in Washington, DC. Before a rapt audience at the all-girls school, Dr. Auñón-Chancellor talked about the 197 days she spent living and working onboard the space station. She contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science. She is also a medical doctor and started her career with NASA as a flight surgeon in 2006. Since 2011, the United Nations declared October 11 the International Day of the Girl Child. Its mission is “to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives, providing an opportunity for them…

After completing the first of 10 spacewalks to upgrade the station, astronaut Christina Koch wrote: “The great @Space_Station battery swap series of spacewalks is underway! A joy & privilege working with @AstroDrewMorgan outside, @astro_luca as the lead for suits & airlock, @Astro_Jessica as robotic arm operator, & the incredible teams in Houston. 3 batteries complete, 9 to go!” Image Credit: NASA/Christina Koch 为了升级空间站，宇航员克里斯蒂娜·科赫完成了10次太空行走中的第一次，她写道:“伟大的@Space_Station电池交换系列正在进行中!”与@AstroDrewMorgan合作很愉快，@astro_luca是防护服和气闸的负责人，@Astro_Jessica是机器人手臂的操作员，还有休斯顿的神奇团队。3个电池已经更换完毕，还剩下9个。 图片来源:NASA/Christina Koch

NASA astronaut Nick Hague is seen outside the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft after he landed with fellow crewmember Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos and visiting astronaut Hazzaa Ali Almansoori of the United Arab Emirates in a remote area near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019. Hague and Ovchinin are returning after 203 days in space where they served as members of the Expedition 59 and 60 crews onboard the International Space Station. Almansoori logged 8 days in space during his first flight as an astronaut.

As he prepares to conclude his stay aboard the orbiting laboratory this week, astronaut Nick Hague shared this photo saying: “Today is my last Monday living on this orbiting laboratory and I’m soaking up my final views. The @Space_Station is truly an engineering marvel. #MondayMotivation.” Hague will return to Earth after a six-month stay aboard the International Space Station. He and Expedition 60 and Soyuz commander Alexey Ovchinin of the Russian space agency Roscosmos​ are completing a 203-day mission, spanning 3,248 orbits of Earth, and a journey of 80.8 million miles. Hague is completing his second flight in space totaling 203 days, while Ovchinin will have logged 375 days in space on his third flight at the time of landing.
