Fallen NASA Heroes Honored at Kennedy Space Center.

On Jan. 28, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center observed the agency’s Day of Remembrance with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Space Mirror Memorial located at the KSC Visitor Complex, which was dedicated in 1991 to honor all astronauts who lost their lives on missions or during training. It was one of several events conducted around the agency in tribute to the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, as well as other members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery. This year’s Day of Remembrance also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident.

Orion Backstage: Anthony Thrikettle.

Even engineers like to shake things up now and then. Anthony Thirkettle is a principal mechanical engineer working on Orion's European-built service module, which provides propulsion and power for the spacecraft. He explains structural testing that is now underway at NASA's Glenn Research Center Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, where a structural representation of the service module is being put through a series of tests to evaluate how it will stand up to the harsh environment of liftoff and ascent to space. The service module element is being built by ESA (European Space Agency) and Airbus Defence & Space for NASA's Orion spacecraft, which will launch atop the Space Launch System rocket on a three-week mission to the far side of the moon and back in 2018.

Space Station Live: The Space Lab Lineup.

NASA Commentator Lori Meggs talks with International Space Station Chief Scientist Dr. Julie Robinson about plans for scientific research on board the station during Expeditions 47 and 48, the first six months after the conclusion of the current One Year Mission. Robinson is attending a meeting of payload developers and researchers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the home to the Payload Operations and Integration Center which manages experiment activity inside the U.S. segment of the space station.

EDRS-A liftoff.

The first laser node of the European Data Relay System lifted off from Baikonur, Kazakhstan atop a Proton rocket on 29 January.
Dubbed the ‘SpaceDataHighway’, EDRS will uniquely provide near-realtime Big Data relay services using cutting-edge laser technology. It will dramatically improve access to time-critical data, aiding disaster response by emergency services and maritime surveillance.

ESA. Space debris story.

The story of space debris highlighting how the unintended consequences of intense spaceflight activity during the past 60 years has resulted in a growing population of debris objects that pose hazards to safe space navigation. In 2013, experts estimate that 29 000 objects larger than 10 cm were orbiting Earth.

NASA Commentator Pat Ryan talks with John McCullough, NASA’s Orion Vehicle Integration Manager, about the progress of preparing the spacecraft which will carry future astronauts to destinations beyond low Earth orbit. The capsule which will be used for the next uncrewed flight test, targeted for 2018, is to be flown to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida next month to begin a series of tests over the next two years to ensure its readiness for a flight that will take it well beyond the orbit of the moon on a flight that will last more than three weeks.

Comparing notes: Apollo engineer Scott Millican and ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers.

They chose to go to the moon because it is hard, and Scott Millican is one of the engineers who helped them get there. He trained Apollo astronauts for their flight to the Moon and was present in Mission Control, guiding the astronauts through their moonwalks as well as the entire mission. Recorded at the inaugural TEDxESA on 11 November 2015, this is a conversation between Dutch ESA astronaut André Kuipers, who visited the International Space Station in 2004 and 2012, and Scott Millican. They compare notes from their vast experience of the ins and outs of space travel, spanning decades from the beginnings of human spaceflight to the state of things today.

Powerful Space Station Spacewalk Previewed.

During a Jan. 12 news conference at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, NASA managers previewed the spacewalk scheduled to take place on Jan. 15 aboard the International Space Station (ISS). During that excursion, Expedition 46 flight engineers Tim Kopra of NASA and Tim Peake of ESA (European Space Agency) will primarily perform work to replace a voltage regulator that compromised one of the station’s eight power channels when it failed last November. Coverage of the spacewalk on NASA TV and the agency’s website, www.nasa.gov, will begin at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 15, with the spacewalk scheduled to begin at 7:55 a.m. The spacewalk will be the third in Kopra’s career and the first for Peake.
