Krikalev Breaks Time-in-Space Record 16 August 2005 Early Tuesday Aug. 16., Expedition 11 Commander Sergei Krikalev will become the human with the most cumulative time in space. At 1:44 a.m. EDT he passed the record of 748 days held by Sergei Avdeyev. Krikalyov, who has been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since April 15, passed the record previously held by fellow-Russian Sergei Avdeyev, who spent a career total of 747 days, 14 hours, 14 minutes and 11 seconds in space. Krikalev spent his more than two years in space beginning in November 1988 with the start of his first long-duration flight to the Soviet space station Mir. Krikalev did back-to-back increments on his next Mir flight starting in May 1991 and returning to Earth in March 1992. Krikalyov was aboard the Mir space station in December 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed, earning him the unofficial title of "the last citizen of the USSR." At the end of his 151-day mission, he returned not to the Soviet Union, but to Russia. He became the first Russian to fly a Shuttle mission on STS-60 in February 1994. His second Shuttle flight took the Unity node to the International Space Station on STS-88 in December 1998. He was a member of the Station's Expedition 1 crew, launching in October 2000 and returning to Earth in March 2001. He launched as commander of Expedition 11 last April 14.

Expedition 11, Space Tourist Back on Earth 11 October 2005
Expedition 11, Space Tourist Back on Earth 11 October 2005 The Soyuz TMA spacecraft undocked from the station at 5:49 p.m. EDT. Its re-entry was flawless. It brought the three men aboard to a landing about 53 miles northeast of Arkalyk after 179 days and 23 minutes in space for the E11 crew. The recovery team reached the capsule in minutes. Krikalev and Phillips will spend several weeks in Star City, near Moscow, for debriefing and medical examinations. They launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan last April 14. During their increment they performed a spacewalk, continued station maintenance and did scientific experiments. While aboard the station, Krikalev became the world's most experienced spacefarer. On Aug. 16 The Expedition 11 landed back on Earth Monday his cumulative time in space passed the record of at 9:09 p.m. EDT after undocking from the 747 days, 14 hours and 14 minutes set by international space station at 5:49 p.m. EDT.

Everything You Need to Know About the International Space Station Science Fair 2021
Everything you Need to Know About the International Space Station Science Fair 2021 By: J. R. Montessori Academy at Spring Valley 8th Grade Focus Question What is the International Space Station, how was it built, what do the crewmates do there? Introduction The year was 1998 the date was November the 20th and the whole world was buzzing with anticipation. Today was the day that the first piece of the ISS, the Zarya, would be launched. On October 4, 1957, the US was in the midst of the Cold War which started in 1947 and tension hung in the air between the US and the Soviet Union. The Soviets had just launched the Sputnik 1, a Russian artificial satellite. The US was shocked that the Russians had reached the stars before the US did. Only a month later the Russians launched yet another rocket called the Sputnik 2 and this time it carried a dog named Laika. It wasn't until 1958 that the US finally got their own rocket; Explorer 1, launched. In 1969 Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became the first men on the moon and the US had won the space race. Statement My model will show what the International Space Station will look like in scale. Why is THe ISS Important? What is the purpose of the ISS? The ISS is a laboratory to conduct experiments. Why do we need a laboratory in space when we already have thousands here on Earth? Well, in space things are very different. That includes the gravity (there is none) the oxygen we breathe (it's artificial aboard the ISS so the air the astro/cosmonauts breath is recycled), so naturally experiment results will also be very different.

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.

Unit 5 Space Exploration
TOPIC 8 People in Space There are many reasons why all types of technology are developed. In Unit 5, you’ve seen that some technology is developed out of curiosity. Galileo built his telescope because he was curious about the stars and planets. You’ve also learned that some technologies are built to help countries fight an enemy in war. The German V-2 rocket is one example of this. You may have learned in social stud- ies class about the cold war between the United States and the for- mer Soviet Union. There was no fighting with guns or bombs. However, these countries deeply mistrusted each other and became very competitive. They tried to outdo and intimidate each other. This competition thrust these countries into a space race, which was a race to be the first to put satellites and humans into space. Figure 5.57 Space shuttle Atlantis Topic 8 looks at how the desire to go into space drove people to blasts off in 1997 on its way to dock produce technologies that could make space travel a reality. with the Soviet space station Mir. Breaking Free of Earth’s Gravity Although space is only a hundred or so kilometres “up there,” it takes a huge amount of energy to go up and stay up there. The problem is gravity. Imagine throwing a ball as high as you can. Now imagine how hard it would be to throw the ball twice as high or to throw a ball twice as heavy. Gravity always pulls the ball back to Earth.

Space Stations: Base Camps to the Stars*
Chapter 23 Space Stations: Base Camps to the Stars* Roger D. Launius† Introduction This paper reviews the history of space stations in American culture, from an 1869 work of fiction in the Atlantic Monthly to the present realization of the International Space Station (ISS). It also discusses the history of space stations “real and imagined” as cultural icons. From winged rocket ships, to the giant ro- tating wheels of Wernher von Braun and 2001: A Space Odyssey, to the epic, controversy-wracked saga of the ISS, the paper also discusses Mir, Skylab, and the Salyuts. It will close with a projection into the future as ISS is realized—or perhaps deferred—and perhaps future generations begin work on space stations elsewhere in the Solar System. The Attraction of a Space Station From virtually the beginning of the 20th century, those interested in the human exploration of space have viewed as central to that endeavor the building of a massive Earth-orbital space station that would serve as the jumping-off point to the Moon and the planets. Always, space exploration enthusiasts believed, a * Presented at the Thirty-Eighth History Symposium of the International Academy of As- tronautics, 4–8 October 2004, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The more technically minded recognized that once humans had achieved Earth orbit about 200 miles up, the presumed location of any space sta- tion, the vast majority of the atmosphere and the gravity well had been conquered and that people were now about halfway to anywhere they might want to go.

Editors' Note These Two Conversations Were Initiated by the Fondation
Out of the Present. Dir. Andrei Ujica, 1995. Sergei Krikalev Editors’ Note These two conversations were initiated by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporaine on the occasion of the exhibition 1 monde réel, and took place in the spring of 1999. The first, between Andrei Ujica and cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, more conversational in tone, revolves around the experience of space travel. The second, between Ujica and Paul Virilio, is more theoretical. Both address Ujica’s 1995 film, Out of the Present, a cinematic reconstruction of Krikalev’s historic ten-month flight on board the MIR Space Station, a journey in which the cosmo- naut departed from the Soviet Union and, following the August coup in Moscow, returned to Russia. 46 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/15263810260573254 by guest on 25 September 2021 Toward the End of Gravity I SERGEI KRIKALEV/ANDREI UJICA TRANSLATED BY SARA OGGER Andrei Ujica: It must be about five years since we first met, in Moscow. At the time, I had come here to make a film about your mission aboard the MIR Space Station in 1991–1992. In 1995 the film Out of the Present was finished, and since then neither of us has ever really escaped from this story: for my part, it’s a bit as if I myself had been in space, as if I’d really taken part in this adven- ture; and for your part, you’ve become—if you think about our appearances at festivals—a veritable celebrity, or at any rate a film personality.
