Atlantis Tank Repairs Under Way 12 March 2007
Atlantis Tank Repairs Under Way 12 March 2007 During the 11-day mission, the six-member crew will install a new truss segment, retract a set of solar arrays and unfold a new set on the starboard side of the station. Lessons learned from two previous missions will provide the astronauts with new techniques and tools to perform their duties. Atlantis Commander Rick Sturckow, Pilot Lee Archambault and Mission Specialists Jim Reilly, Patrick Forrester, Steven Swanson and John "Danny" Olivas will continue training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston as they await a new target launch date.

Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossman Source: NASA Space Shuttle Atlantis is in the Vehicle Assembly Building for assessment and repairs due to a late February thunderstorm with hail. Workers positioned platforms around the shuttle to allow for inspections and repairs to hail-damaged areas. Some foam sanding has begun in the nose cone area of the tank. Inspections are finished for the solid rocket boosters and nearly complete for the orbiter, with 20 of 28 hail-damaged areas, all on the left side of the vehicle, already repaired. A new target launch date has not been determined, but teams will focus on preparing Atlantis for liftoff in late April. Mission STS-117 to the International Space Station will be scheduled sometime after a Russian Soyuz spacecraft returns from the station.

This is Whitson’s third long-duration stay onboard the space station, and in March her mission was extended into September, increasing the amount of valuable astronaut time available for experiments on board the station. Source & Photo Credit: NASA Soyuz MS-04 Sends Two-Man Crew on Fast-Track to ISS Russia’s Soyuz rocket successfully lifted a two-man crew from Russia and the U.S. into orbit and on the fast lane to the International Space Station on Thursday, blasting off from the world’s oldest spaceport in Kazakhstan. The trusted Soyuz FG rocket lifted off from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 7:13 UTC, carrying into orbit the Soyuz MS-04 spacecraft manned by fifth-time space flier and third- time Soyuz commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and NASA’s Jack Fischer. Thursday’s launch marks the first Soyuz mission with two instead of three crew members since Soyuz TMA-2 that lifted off from the same Baikonur launch pad in April 2003 with ISS Expedition 7 crew members Yuri Malenchenko and Ed Lu.

DakeZ NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, 77058 and Gregory J. Gentry3 Boeing Space Exploration — International Space Station, Houston, Texas, 77058 The International Space Station (ISS) Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) system includes regenerative and non -regenerative technologies that provide the basic life support functions to support the crew, while maintaining a safe and habitable shirtsleeve environment. This paper provides a summary of the U.S. ECLS system activities over the past year, covering the period of time between March 2009 and February 2010. The ISS continued permanent crew operations, with the start of Phase 3 of the ISS Assembly Sequence and an increase of the ISS crew size from three to six. Work continues on the last of the Phase 3 pressurized elements. I. Introduction HE ISS is a global partnership of 15 nations representing six space age ncies, including the United States TNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Italian Space Agency (ASI). The participating countries are Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy; Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The ISS operates at an altitude of approximately 310 to 350 km (170 to 190 nautical miles) and an inclination of 51.6° to the equator. The International Space Station Program is divided into three phases.
