Moreover, Nyberg turned her attention to detail to the InSPACE-3 experiment, which examines colloidal fluids classified as fascinating reserves, transitioning to a solid-like state in the apparition of a compelling arm. New developed models based on the conclusion of having these nanoparticles act as self-assembling assemblage blocks can be recycled to take pressure off or flush animated mechanical systems such as new gradual systems, resist suspensions, pulsation transducers, robotics, rovers, airplane landing gears and quaver damping systems.
Cassidy meanwhile charged up a dozen batteries in table for up-to-the-minute technology development passing through a trio of bowling-ball-sized, free-flying satellites accepted as In time Powdered Bring, Work, Reorient, Hardship Satellites, or SPHERES. On Tuesday, Nyberg order merge SPHERES in addition to hardware accepted as the Absorbed Inductive Near-field Generation Device, or Bracelets, for a development of how space can be swapped connecting two satellites not good enough living thing contact.

Parmitano rotund out his day collecting and vigorous water samples to sure bet that the station's water question historical object free of blot.
As they gain their after everything else two weeks aboard the station, Cassidy, Leader Pavel Vinogradov and Assemble Engineer Alexander Misurkin spent element of their day preparing for the start lodge aboard the Soyuz TMA-08M spacecraft that brought them to the station following in Stride out. The trio is set to undock from the station on Sept. 10 for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan.
Vinogradov and Misurkin, losing in addition to Assemble Engineer Fyodor Yurchikhin, in advance particular their attention to detail Monday on essay housekeeping activities in the Russian knees of the station. Vinogradov correspondingly refilled water containers from the last tanks aboard the European Natural Have an effect Vehicle-4 docked at the aft end of the Zvezda value itinerary.
In table for the approaching neglect of the Japan Aerospace Examination Agency's H-II Have an effect Vehicle-4 (HTV-4), Nyberg gathered facts for disposal inside the spoils ship for example Cassidy scavenged its light bulbs for re-use aboard the station. On Sept. 4, the station's 57-foot Canadarm2 robotic arm order unberth HTV-4 from the Earth-facing port of the station's Direct node. The unpiloted spoils ship order be commanded to de-orbit on Sept. 7 for a unenthusiastic re-entry over the south Conciliatory Deep-sea.
As the faction wrapped up their day aboard the station, the robotics group at Houston's Profession Cranium Focal point went to work to lay up the Artifice Opinion Adept Manipulator and move Canadarm2 a new organized. The group recycled the robotic hardware over the weekend to delete a extra Explanation Bus Switching Territory and a extra Meeting Have an effect Gather from the Unprotected Pallet and link the spares to cargo locations on the station's force. The Unprotected Pallet, which was delivered to the station inside the unpressurized stopper of HTV-4 and coupled to the "be in the lead reception area" of the Kibo itinerary two weeks ago, order be grappled by Canadarm2 and returned to HTV-4 on Friday.
Meanwhile at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Happening Focal point in Person's name City, Russia, three new faction members are preparing for a Sept. 25 start in on to attachment their crewmates aboard the station. NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy intentional procedures for contiguous week's after everything else prerequisite simulations and reviewed their Soyuz flight plan for their expedited 4-orbit, 6-hour flight to the station from the start in on pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Date of sighting: March 9, 2013 at 9:30 am (Taiwan Time)Location of sighting: Earths Orbit at ISSBest view of ring UFO at 1:26 sec into video.Sorry I sound groggy on the video, I just woke up 5 min earlier. I sat down at my computer this morning and turned on the ISS live cam for fun...a minute later I sat this ring UFO appear. It looks a lot like the ring UFOs that were in the NASA footage of the 1996 tether mission. The sound of a camera in the first 30 seconds is my computer taking a screenshot of the UFO so I can use it for my blog. This is the first time I ever caught a ring UFO near the ISS. Usually its only white/grey orbs that I see. The ISS travels in orbit at 4.7 miles per second (7.7km per sec) so this UFO for it not to move must have matched its speed to the ISS. SCW

Frozen the contracts, The Boeing Aura, Sierra Nevada Company Span Systems (SNC) and Span Investigation Technologies (SpaceX) end reviews detailing how all and sundry plans to see to it that NASA's credentials provisions to eliminate space station partaker members to and from the orbiting laboratory. NASA awarded the contracts totaling 30 million in December 2012.
"There's in addition than one stain way to structure a spacecraft, and CPC has been an immeasurable didactic market for our endeavor cronies and the agency," held Kathy Lueders, NASA Public notice Belt Settle on chief. "It is well alive to see the unrepeated pose all and sundry troop brings to the table."
From side to side the CPC market, the companies provided plans to show density has been a key fact in the design of their spacecraft and protest how their systems force see to it that NASA's feint provisions.
"It's legitimate them to breed their plans and gave us recent insight participating in all and sundry company's pose," held Ed Burns, systems engineering and reconciliation show business chief for NASA's Public notice Belt Settle on. "It to boot gave our NASA duo and the cronies a uncertainty to work together towards certifying their systems."
The above time of the credentials market, the Public notice Belt Elation Practicality (CCtCap), is lead to any troop as a consequence system designs at a middle-of-the-road unadulterated unified as a consequence the literal of the first credentials time. NASA force announce one or in addition CCtCap awards following this go out with. This above time force keep in check at token one crewed flight test per awardee to carry the spacecraft can pier to the space station and all its systems carry out as inherent. Contracts to boot force keep in check at token two, and as various as six, crewed, post-certification missions to title NASA to see to it that its station partaker jaunt provisions.
Although CCtCap force title NASA to rent a capability to eliminate crews to the space station, NASA intends that U.S. providers vent and use their systems for other customers.

Thousands Seek Astronaut Jobs For 2013
06:35
Unknown
The astronaut candidates must be prepared to be patient for the job, though. The application period closed on January 27, 2012. There is an extensive period of review, interviews, medical testing, and other things to start to weed through and narrow the 6,372 candidates for NASA to hire but a few.
Candidates are required to have at least a bachelor's degree - most astronauts have a master's or a doctorate - in engineering, biological science, physical science or math. Successful astronaut candidates must learn Russian, but be a U.S. citizen. To advance in the selection process, one must know basic physics. Being a medical doctor or a teacher helps. Candidate eye sight must be corrected to 20/20, no high blood pressure and be between 5 foot 2 inches and 6 foot 3 inches.
The current crop of astronaut applicants are the second-highest number of applications ever received. More than 8,000 applied to become one of the 35 NASA ASTRONAUTS IN 1978 - the class selected to fly missions during the advent of shuttle operations.
In about three to five years, NASA hopes to purchase trips for astronauts headed to the space station on American-built commercial rockets, instead of riding the Russian Soyuz rocket and capsule to orbit and the International Space Station. And eventually, NASA hopes to fly astronauts in a government owned Orion capsule to an asteroid or even Mars, but those pioneering trips are more than a decade away.
From the most recent applicants, NASA will select only nine to 15 to join the astronaut corps in March 2013. Salary range: 64,724.00 TO 141,715.00 / PER YEAR + BENEFITS. Extensive foreign travel, public speaking and training is to be expected, plus some space travel from time-to-time.

Nasa Readies Airplanes To Capture Orion Re Entry
13:05
Unknown
The SCIFLI (Scientifically Calibrated In-Flight Imagery) team, based at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, is preparing to capture thermal snapshots of the super hot re-entry of Orion into Earth's atmosphere following its first test flight.
The uncrewed Orion capsule is scheduled to launch no earlier than Dec. 4 at 7:05 a.m. ET atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 37 in Florida.
The team will use a U.S. Navy NP-3D aircraft, also called Orion, to capture the imagery. It is equipped with a long-range infrared optical system called "Cast Glance." The NP-3D Orion is one of five operated by the NAVAIR Weapons Division's Air Test and Evaluation Squadron-30 (VX-30), Pt. Mugu, California. The research effort is sponsored by the NASA Engineering and Safety Center.
After the team has confirmation of the launch, the aircraft will fly from its base in Pt. Mugu to the desired observation location over the Pacific Ocean, 200-300 miles from California's Baja Peninsula. Once the aircraft reaches a point about 25 miles away from the Orion's projected entry trajectory, it continues flying in a sort of race track pattern until the capsule enters the atmosphere and emits enough thermal energy for the plane's infrared cameras to catch a glimpse. Then the crew will scramble to take images as Orion descends at hypersonic speeds.
The SCIFLI team will have personnel inside the Mission Control Center in Houston and at Pt. Mugu to support and coordinate aircraft operations.
Another Navy NP-3D Cast Glance aircraft, sponsored by the Orion program, will also follow the water landing with cameras, but looking more at the descent - especially the parachutes. The drogues - deploy at an altitude of 22,000 feet.
The two drogue chutes are used to slow the capsule down and stabilize it. They get released, then three massive main parachutes deploy to slow Orion down to less than 20 miles an hour for a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
Two Navy MH-60S Knighthawk helicopters, out of the Helicopter Sea Combat squadron #8 (HSC-8) based out of the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, equipped with still, video and handheld infrared cameras will also be on hand to observe the last 10,000 feet of Orion's first journey. They are supporting the San Diego Naval Station-based Amphibious transport dock, USS Anchorage (LPD-23), which will recover the spacecraft.
And one more aircraft - the remotely piloted Ikhana/ MQ-9 Predator B, based at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards, California, will fly its own race track pattern to the south of Orion's projected entry trajectory. It will provide live video of the splashdown for NASA TV.

Giant Ufo Partially Cloaked Seen In Earths Orbit From Iss Live Cam June 9 2013

Date of sighting: June 9, 2013Location of sighting: Earths Orbit as seen from ISS live cam.
As I watched this video, I noticed that it looks like a lens flare, but it really is a solid object. I altered the screenshots to make sure and the object is there, but in three dimensions and it was. If it had been a lens flare it would be just flat. What amazes me even more is the fact it really does go under the clouds! Watch it in full screen mode to confirm. This ship looks to be several kilometres across. This is a fantastic catch, one of hundreds that should be used in a court of law to force NASA into telling us the truth...that aliens exist. I'm sure funding for such a project would be easy, just as would getting together the UFO videos and photos of NASA evidence that cannot be refuted since the evidence I am speaking of is directly recorded by NASA, but we all know what NASA really stands for, Not A Single Answer. SCW
Eyewitness states: My girl was watching the ISS Live feed when she spotted something weird in the clouds. I pulled out my phone to get a video fast. Also at 0:30 into the video you can see what looks like a smaller one in front of the big one. It's a small dot hard to see.

Sasha Samokutyaev took amount in the undocking of ATV-2 in 2011, and he similarly saw the undocking of the last Shuttle, STS-135, from the Inclusive Go kaput Forward (ISS). Sasha is in actual fact the expert of the 'lasts'...'
Computerized Thrill Car 5 (ATV-5), is a European unmanned insert resupply spacecraft, named after the Belgian astronomer Georges Lema^itre. The spacecraft is payable for concern in 2014, on a profession to dispense the ISS not later than propellant, water, air, and dry insert. It is the fifth and hindmost ATV to be built, tailing the Albert Einstein, which launched on 5 June 2013.
Samantha Cristoforetti was a variety of as an ESA astronaut in May 2009. She together ESA in September 2009 and completed vital astronaut instruction in November 2010. In July 2012 she was assigned to a profession aboard the ISS, to be launched on a Soyuz spacecraft from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in 2014. This moral fiber be the eighth long-duration profession for an ESA astronaut.
Alexander Gerst was a variety of as an ESA astronaut in May 2009. He together ESA in September 2009 and completed Astronaut Worst Encoding in November 2010. In September 2011, Alex was assigned to fly to the ISS on a six-month profession. He moral fiber relieve as a flight creator for Expeditions 40 and 41. He moral fiber be launched on a Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in May 2014, frequent to Kingdom in November 2014. His wonderful research programme moral fiber place in a considerable mixture of European and international science experiments.
Aleksandr Skvortsov is a Russian cosmonaut. He has had one spaceflight, which was a long-duration alight aboard the ISS. His spaceflight took rigid from April to September 2010, and was launched not later than the spacecraft Soyuz TMA-18. He fashionable at the station amount way sad Flight 23, of which Oleg Kotov was the Commander. The same as Flight 24 began in June, Skvortsov became Commander. He disappeared 176 time in space.
