Module of Russia Nauka’ module of Russia July 28, 2021 In news- Russia’s new ‘Nauka’ laboratory module meant for the International Space Station(ISS) blasted off recently aboard the Proton rocket. More information- Nauka is a 42-feet-long module weighing 20 tonnes. It was set to launch in 2007 but was reportedly delayed due to technical issues. ‘Nauka’ in Russian means Science. It is Russia’s most ambitious research facility in space and is fitted with an oxygen generator, robotic cargo crane, a toilet and a bed for Russian astronauts. The Russian module will initially be used as a docking facility and for conducting experiments as the crew works in it. The multipurpose laboratory’s active docking port and airlock which will be handled by the European Robotic Arm. It will also provide astronauts with additional cargo storage space including oxygen regeneration equipment. The high-tech research lab is attached to the Zvezda module and the lab will serve the Russian segment of the space station. It replaced the Pirs module after the latter got detached from the ISS. About Pirs module- Pirs, a Russian module on the ISS was launched in 2001. It was used as a docking port for spacecraft and as a door for cosmonauts to go out on spacewalks. It is the biggest space laboratory Russia has launched to date. It was pulled away from the ISS using a Progress MS-16/77P cargo ship, which had remained docked to the module since February. It is the first permanent ISS module to be decommissioned, and burned up and disintegrated during atmospheric re-entry over the Southern Pacific..

Dylan Low, KK6SYD, was a first time guest. All were welcomed. Dick Decker, Vice President, K6SUU, gave an interesting presentation on Hams In Space. This was the topic members showed the most interest in. Fox 1 will launch on August 27th, 2015. To contact Space Stations in the past the Uplink was on VHF and the Downlink on UHF. This is now reversed, the Uplink will be UHF and the Downlink will be VHF. For a full copy of the Powerpoint Presentation, Dick announced that those interested could send an email to him and he would send it to those requesting it. Included in the Powerpoint will be the links for further information. Dick explained that Space stations were easier to use than Satellites. A variety of antennas were shown and discussed. They included; The Yagi, Two Elk Antennas (mounted on PVC) and one that really measured up; The Tape Measure Antenna. Dick informed all that he has a radio that members could use to hit the Space Station. Please contact him if you are interested. The process is pretty simple and it is rewarding when you get your card back in the mail!

    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20150020985 2019-08-31T05:38:38+00:00Z IAF-01-T.1.O1 Progress on the International Space Station - We're Part Way up the Mountain John-David F. Bartoe and Thomas Holloway NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, USA The first phase of the International Space Station construction has been completed, and research has begun. Russian, U.S., and Canadian hardware is on orbit, ard Italian logistics modules have visited often. With the delivery of the U.S. Laboratory, Destiny, significant research capability is in place, and dozens of U.S. and Russian experiments have been conducted. Crew members have been on orbit continuously since November 2000. Several "bumps in the road" have occurred along the way, and each has been systematically overcome. Enormous amounts of hardware and software are being developed by the International Space Station partners and participants around the world and are largely on schedule for launch. Significant progress has been made in the testing of completed elements at launch sites in the United States and Kazakhstan. Over 250,000 kg of flight hardware have been delivered to the Kennedy Space Center and integrated testing of several elements wired together has progressed extremely well. Mission control centers are fully functioning in Houston, Moscow, and Canada, and operations centers Darmstadt, Tsukuba, Turino, and Huntsville will be going on line as they are required. Extensive coordination efforts continue among the space agencies of the five partners and two participants, involving 16 nations. All of them continue to face their own challenges and have achieved significant successes.

  • The International Space Station and the Space Shuttle
    Order Code RL33568 The International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Updated November 9, 2007 Carl E. Behrens Specialist in Energy Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division The International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Summary The International Space Station (ISS) program began in 1993, with Russia joining the United States, Europe, Japan, and Canada. Crews have occupied ISS on a 4-6 month rotating basis since November 2000. The U.S. Space Shuttle, which first flew in April 1981, has been the major vehicle taking crews and cargo back and forth to ISS, but the shuttle system has encountered difficulties since the Columbia disaster in 2003. Russian Soyuz spacecraft are also used to take crews to and from ISS, and Russian Progress spacecraft deliver cargo, but cannot return anything to Earth, since they are not designed to survive reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. A Soyuz is always attached to the station as a lifeboat in case of an emergency. President Bush, prompted in part by the Columbia tragedy, made a major space policy address on January 14, 2004, directing NASA to focus its activities on returning humans to the Moon and someday sending them to Mars. Included in this “Vision for Space Exploration” is a plan to retire the space shuttle in 2010. The President said the United States would fulfill its commitments to its space station partners, but the details of how to accomplish that without the shuttle were not announced. The shuttle Discovery was launched on July 4, 2006, and returned safely to Earth on July 17.

  • Building and Maintaining the International Space Station (ISS)
    / Building and maintaining the International Space Station (ISS) is a very complex task. An international fleet of space vehicles launches ISS components; rotates crews; provides logistical support; and replenishes propellant, items for science experi- ments, and other necessary supplies and equipment. The Space Shuttle must be used to deliver most ISS modules and major components. All of these important deliveries sustain a constant supply line that is crucial to the development and maintenance of the International Space Station. The fleet is also responsible for returning experiment results to Earth and for removing trash and waste from the ISS. Currently, transport vehicles are launched from two sites on transportation logistics Earth. In the future, the number of launch sites will increase to four or more. Future plans also include new commercial trans- ports that will take over the role of U.S. ISS logistical support.
