  • Proxima Mission Thomas Pesquet Reaches International Space Station
    Proxima mission Thomas Pesquet reaches International Space Station After completing 34 orbital revolutions of the Earth, the Soyuz spacecraft has docked with the International Space Station (ISS). France’s ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, mission commander Oleg Novitsky (Roscosmos) and U.S. astronaut Peggy Whitson (NASA) have safely entered the station and are now ready to start their six-month mission. Thomas Pesquet, 38, will be the 10th French astronaut to fly in space, the fourth to stay aboard the ISS and the first to spend six months there. His mission has been named Proxima after Proxima Centauri, the star nearest our Sun, continuing the tradition of naming European missions on the ISS after stars. Thomas will be in charge of more than 50 science experiments devised by ESA and CNES, and will be contributing to numerous research projects undertaken for other programme partners. CNES is closely involved in this mission, notably through the CADMOS centre for the development of microgravity applications and space operations, located at the Toulouse Space Centre. CADMOS will be controlling 21 of the 55 experiments to be performed by Thomas Pesquet for ESA and devised and prepared seven of the experiments itself: AQUAPAD, MATISS, EVERYWEAR, PERSPECTIVES, ECHO, FLUIDICS and EXO-ISS (educational experiments). After the successful docking and the crew’s entry aboard the ISS, CNES President Jean-Yves Le Gall commented: “What has been a truly golden week for us is continuing with this new and crucial stage of the Proxima mission! I would like to congratulate all of the international partners who played a part in this new success.

  • Russia Blames Space Station Lab Incident on Software Failure 30 July 2021, by Daria Litvinova
    Russia blames space station lab incident on software failure 30 July 2021, by Daria Litvinova Earth. The space station's communications with ground controllers also blipped out twice for a few minutes on Thursday. Vladimir Solovyov, flight director of the space station's Russian segment, blamed the incident on a "short-term software failure." In a statement released Friday by the Russian space agency Roscosmos, Solovyov said because of the failure, a direct command to turn on the lab's engines was mistakenly implemented. He added the incident was "quickly countered by the propulsion system" of another Russian component at the station and "at the moment, the In this photo taken by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky station is in its normal orientation" and all its and provided by Roscosmos Space Agency Press systems "are operating normally."

This EXPEDITION 34 next expedition aboard the International Space Station will be exciting, as astronauts work with new experiments. These include the Facility for Absorption and Surface Tension (FASTER) investigation, provided by the European Space Agency, which will study how surfactants (surface acting agents that reduce the surface tension of water, such as soap) are affected by microgravity. Additionally, a Canadian Space Agency investigation called Microflow1 will be the first demonstration in space of a miniaturized flow cytometer that will to allow doctors and scientists to quantify molecules and cells in blood.

  • Thomas Pesquet Returns to Earth After More Than Six Months in Space
    Thomas Pesquet returns to Earth after more than six months in space At 16:09, the Soyuz capsule carrying Thomas Pesquet and his Russian colleague Oleg Novitsky landed safely in Kazakhstan, bringing to a close a particularly successful human spaceflight. For his first spaceflight, Thomas Pesquet will therefore have spent nearly 200 days circling Earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS). After departing on 17 November 2016 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz spacecraft with Russian commander Oleg Novitsky and U.S. astronaut Peggy Whitson, Thomas Pesquet took on the role of mission co-pilot during his six-month mission, assisting the Soyuz commander for the outbound and return trips, monitoring systems and ready to take the controls if needed. He came back today with Oleg Novitsky. The last French astronaut in space was Léopold Eyharts, who docked the European Columbus module to the ISS in 2008. Science was the focus of Thomas Pesquet’s Proxima mission on the station, during which he performed a series of scientific and educational experiments on this exceptional research outpost perched 400 kilometres above Earth, set to serve as a stepping stone for further human exploration of space. As the station’s mission engineer, he was in charge of more than 50 science experiments developed by ESA and CNES, and took part in research work for the programme’s partners. Over the last five years, CNES has funded 15 PhD postgraduate students working on areas of research related to microgravity such as muscle wasting, metabolism, fire propagation and plant growth. After Thomas Pesquet’s landing, President Emmanuel Macron commented:“After Thomas Pesquet’s hugely successful mission, we are all very proud of this new illustration of French and European prowess accomplished by CNES and ESA.”.

This will be the 15th overall Soyuz port relocation and the first since August 2019. Rubins, Ryzhikov, and Kud-Sverchkov will return to Earth April 17 in the Soyuz MS-17 that carried them to the space station in October 2020. Provided by NASA The Soyuz MS-17 crew ship that carried the Expedition 64 crew to the International Space Station on Oct. 14, 2020, is pictured Oct. 18, 2020, docked to the Rassvet module. The orbital complex was above the Atlantic Ocean in between the island nation of Cape Verde and the African nation of Mauritania.
