  • 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.

  • A Strategic Pathway to the Artificial Gravity Testbed Element in Low Earth Orbit
    50th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2021-318 12-15 July 2021 A Strategic Pathway to the Artificial Gravity Testbed Element in Low Earth Orbit Albert Rajkumar1 and Kriss J. Kennedy2 University of Houston, Houston, TX. This paper is a continuation of previous investigations of a testbed for an artificial gravity (AG) platform in low Earth orbit. The goal of the initial design proposal is to address a knowledge gap in our understanding of the long-term effects of partial gravity on physiological and psychological human capabilities. Therefore, the objective is to create a capability to undertake research to address this knowledge gap. Because human centrifuges on Earth cannot recreate effects of partial gravity on human physiology and parabolic flights fail to provide long enough exposures to generate reliable data, novel research platforms to investigate partial gravity effects on humans and systems are needed. The proposed artificial gravity 3-body testbed (AG Testbed Element) will comprise two customized crewed-Dragons docked to a Central Hub, which in turn will dock to the Zvezda module of the International Space Station intermittently. The goals & objectives of the AG Testbed have been divided into two categories: technical and physiological. The testbed's first phase will develop the technical systems to ensure the spinning testbed is human rated. The second phase will be dedicated to physiological research test objectives. First, this paper explores the AG Testbed Element Design, Development, Test & Evaluation (DDT&E) plan and risk mitigation strategies. Secondly, this effort explores an evolutionary roadmap towards a larger, more robust platform which will address the knowledge gap mentioned later.

    The International Space Station (ISS) is an experiment in the design, development, and assembly of an orbital space facility. It serves as a elements habitat for its crew, a command post for orbital operations, and a port for the rendezvous and berthing of smaller orbiting vehicles. It functions as an orbital microgravity and life sciences laboratory, a test bed for new technologies in areas like life support and robotics, and a platform for astronomical and Earth observations. PMA 2 berthed on Node 1 serves as a primary docking port for the Space Shuttle. The U.S. Lab Module Destiny provides research and habitation accommodations. Node 2 is to the left; the truss is mounted atop the U.S. Lab; Node 1, Unity, is to the right; Node 3 and the Cupola are below and to the right. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION GUIDE ELEMENTS 23 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN EVOLUTION Architecture Design Evolution Why does the ISS look the way it does ? The design evolved over more than a decade. The modularity and size of the U.S., Japanese, and European elements were dictated by the use of the Space Shuttle as the primary launch vehicle and by the requirement to make system components maintainable and replaceable over a lifetime of many years. When the Russians joined the program in 1993, their architecture was based largely on the Mir and Salyut stations they had built earlier. Russian space vehicle design philosophy has always emphasized automated operation and remote control. The design of the interior of the U.S., European, and Japanese elements was dictated by four specific principles: modularity, maintainability, reconfigurability, and accessibility.

The three are the next crew scheduled to blast off to the International Space Station on Dec. 21 from Baikonur cosmodrom. (AP Photo/Mikhail Metzel) (AP) -- A top Russian space official says there is no space for tourists wishing to fly to the International Space Station. Sergei Krikalyov said that since the space stations crew has doubled to six people, there is no room for tourists in the Russian spacecraft that link the station with Earth. Russia's Soyuz spacecraft will provide the only link to the station after the planned retirement of the U.S. shuttle fleet next year. Canadian Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte returned to Earth last month after a stint as the seventh paying space tourist aboard the station. Krikalyov, the chief of the Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City outside Moscow, spoke Thursday during a training session for a crew going to station in late December. 1 / 2 APA citation: Russia: no space for space tourists (2009, November 26) retrieved 24 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2009-11-russia-space-tourists.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • Icons on the International Space Station
    religions Article Eternity in Low Earth Orbit: Icons on the International Space Station Wendy Salmond 1, Justin Walsh 1 and Alice Gorman 2,* 1 Department of Art, Chapman University, Orange, CA 92866, USA; [email protected] (W.S.); [email protected] (J.W.) 2 Department of Archaeology, Flinders University, Bedford Park, SA 5042, Australia * Correspondence: alice.gorman@flinders.edu.au Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 17 November 2020 Abstract: This paper investigates the material culture of icons on the International Space Station as part of a complex web of interactions between cosmonauts and the Russian Orthodox Church, reflecting contemporary terrestrial political and social affairs. An analysis of photographs from the International Space Station (ISS) demonstrated that a particular area of the Zvezda module is used for the display of icons, both Orthodox and secular, including the Mother of God of Kazan and Yuri Gagarin. The Orthodox icons are frequently sent to space and returned to Earth at the request of church clerics. In this process, the icons become part of an economy of belief that spans Earth and space. This practice stands in contrast to the prohibition against displaying political/religious imagery in the U.S.-controlled modules of ISS. The icons mark certain areas of ISS as bounded sacred spaces or hierotopies, separated from the limitless outer space beyond the space station walls. Keywords: International Space Station; iconography; hierotopy; material culture; sacred space; cosmonaut 1. Introduction How the perspective of being outside the world—that is, in space—changes personal approaches to spirituality among space travelers has been the subject of numerous studies (e.g., Suedfeld 2006; Weibel 2016, 2020; Weibel and Swanson 2006).
