Au fil des ans, il a subi des modifications, notamment suite aux accidents de Soyuz 1 en 1967 (parachutes qui se sont mal déployés lors du retour sur Terre) et Soyuz 11 (dépressurisation lors du retour sur Terre), mais aussi un lifting. Dans sa première version, Soyuz a volé jusqu’en 1981. Dans la version T, il s’est amarré aux différentes stations spatiales Salyut de 1980 jusqu’à l’arrivé de Mir en 1986. A cette date, c’est la version TM qui a pris le relais puis TMA à partir de 2002. Depuis décembre 2011, seule la version numérique de Soyuz TMA est utilisée, à savoir Soyuz TMA M. Soyuz en chiffres : Masse au décollage : 7 250 kg Nombre de passagers : 3 avec combinaison spatiale Largeur : 10,6 m panneaux solaires déployés (2,7 m non déployés) Hauteur : 7,2 m Volume habitable : +/­ 10 m³ Manuel de la mission Expedition 40 8 LE VAISSEAU Module orbital Module orbital quasi sphérique (2,2 m de diamètre pour 2,6 m de haut) pesant environ 1 300 kg. Il est situé au sommet du vaisseau et comprend les antennes et le collier d’amarrage. L’équipage s’en sert pour se dégourdir les jambes entre le lancement et l’amarrage quelques 48 heures plus tard environ. Dans ce module, on y entrepose une partie du matériel, effets personnels et diverses expériences, soit une masse de 230 kg maximum. Module de descente Module dans lequel l’équipage est assis au moment du lancement et de l’atterrissage. C’est la seule partie qui revient sur Terre, protégée par un bouclier thermique largable en vol. Il mesure 2,1 m de haut pour 2,2 m de diamètre. Il pèse quelques 2 900 kg. Il peut également transporter des effets personnels, à concurrence de 50 kg pour 3 personnes. Module technique et de propulsion Cylindre de 2,5 m de haut pour 2,7 m de diamètre à la base. On y retrouve les moteurs, les réservoirs de carburants et les panneaux solaires. 9 Manuel de la mission Expedition 40 LE LANCEMENT LES HORAIRES 28/05: Présentation de l'équipage à la Commission d'Etat (18:00 TU) 28/05: Début de la retransmission en direct du lancement (19:00 TU) ­ lancement à 19:57 TU 28/05: Conférence post­lancement (22:00 TU) 29/05: Début de la retransmission de l’amarrage à l’ISS (01:00 TU) – amarrage à 01:48 TU 29/05: Début de la retransmission de l’ouverture des écoutilles (03:00 TU) Les horaires sont sujets à modification.

Modern advances in sequencing technology have enabled the census of microbial members of many natural ecosystems. Recently, attention is increasingly being paid to the microbial residents of human-made, built ecosystems, both private (homes) and public (subways, office buildings, and hospitals). Here, we report results of the characterization of the microbial ecology of a singular built environment, the International Space Station (ISS). This ISS sampling involved the collection and microbial analysis (via 16S rRNA gene PCR) of 15 surfaces sampled by swabs onboard the ISS.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 December 2020 G. Reid Wiseman (Captain, U.S. Navy) NASA Astronaut Summary: Reid Wiseman served as Flight Engineer aboard the International Space Station for Expedition 41 from May through November of 2014. During the 165-day mission, Reid and his crewmates completed over 300 scientific experiments in areas such as human physiology, medicine, physical science, Earth science and astrophysics. They set a milestone for station science by completing a record 82 hours of research in a single week. This was Reid’s first spaceflight, which also included almost 13 hours as lead spacewalker during two trips outside the orbital complex. Reid also fostered a strong social media presence throughout his mission by sharing the raw emotions of spaceflight as seen through the eyes of a rookie flier. The Baltimore native earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and a Master of Science in Systems Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Currently, Wiseman is Chief of the Astronaut Office. Personal Data: Reid’s hometown is Baltimore, Maryland. His wife, Carroll, is survived by their two children. His mother, Judy, is deceased, and his father, Bill, resides in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Education: Graduated from Dulaney High School, Timonium, Maryland, 1993; Bachelor of Science degree in Computer and Systems Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, 1997; Master of Science degree in Systems Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, 2006; Certificate of Space Systems, US Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, 2008.

  • NASA Undecided Due to Leak Investigation 24 January 2014, by Elizabeth Howell
    Will spacewalks happen on Expedition 40? NASA undecided due to leak investigation 24 January 2014, by Elizabeth Howell launches in late March. Joining the two-time shuttle astronaut will be two other people, including Alexander Skvortsov. The Russian cosmonaut commanded Expedition 24 in 2010, which experienced a similar ammonia leak to the one that was just repaired a few months ago. While leaks and spacewalks are the items that grab headlines when it comes to spaceflight, one of the major goals of the International Space Station is more subtle. Researchers hope to understand how spaceflight affects the human body during long- duration missions. (This will be a major focus of a one-year mission to station in 2015.) Through a translator, Skvortsov explained that the recent Steve Swanson, commander of Expedition 40, during a decision to extend station's operations to at least spacewalk on 2007 shuttle mission STS-117. Credit: 2024 will be a help for research of this kind. NASA Remember those snorkels and pads astronauts used during the ammonia pump replacement on station this past December? The new measures went a long way to helping astronauts stay safe if another helmet water leak happens, but at the same time, NASA is eager to find the cause so they know how it happened and how to prevent it. Two maintenance spacewalks are planned for Expedition 40, but they're not necessarily going forward yet. NASA has traced the issue to a fan pump separator, but there's another issue, explained expedition commander Steve Swanson: Expedition 39/40 cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov during where the particulates in the water came from.
