    EVA-Bericht

    3. August 2006

    Piloten der Luftwaffe sind zwar vielseitige Zeitgenossen. Aber wenn sie 2300 Stunden lang 15 verschiedene Typen von Düsenflugzeugen geflogen und dabei den Rang eines Obersten erreicht haben, zudem einen „Pilotenschein“ für Raumkapseln besitzen und neben dem Deutschen auch noch fließend Russisch und Englisch sprechen - dann erwartet man von ihnen nicht unbedingt, daß sie sich als Klempner und Elektriker verdingen. Am Donnerstag hat einer dieser Piloten aber genau das getan, und zwar auf der an Aussicht zweifellos reichsten Baustelle der Welt. In einem klobigen Arbeitsanzug, der an die Kleidung des Reklamemännchens eines Reifenherstellers erinnert, hielt sich der 48 Jahre alte Thomas Reiter mehrere Stunden lang außerhalb der Internationalen Raumstation auf. Dabei brachte er Ventile und Pumpen der Stations-Klimaanlage in Ordnung, installierte einen Scheinwerfer und wechselte eine GPS-Antenne aus.

    Sechs Stunden außerhalb der Raumstation

    Reiter hält sich seit knapp vier Wochen als erster deutscher Langzeitastronaut an Bord der in etwa 350 Kilometer Höhe fliegenden Raumstation auf. Seine beiden Mitbewohner dort oben sind der russische Kommandant Pawel Winogradow und der amerikanische Bordingenieur Jeff Williams. Als Reiter und Williams am Donnerstag 400 Kilometer über Australien hinaus ins All wollten, wollte die Luke nicht. Minutenlang hantierten die beiden Astronauten - ständig in Funkkontakt mit der Bodenkontrolle in Houston - an der Ausstiegsluke, dann begann der 69. Außenbordeinsatz an der Raumstation.

    Um 16.04 Uhr (MESZ) schalteten die beiden die Batterien ihrer Raumanzüge ein. Williams stieg in einem Anzug mit roten Streifen als erster hinaus. Um 16.25 Uhr (MESZ) folgte Reiter, der zur besseren Unterscheidung ganz in Weiß gekleidet war. Dann hangelten sich die beiden Astronauten an der Außenwand der Station entlang und begannen ihre etwa sechs Stunden dauernden Arbeiten außerhalb des Komplexes. Pawel Winogradow verfolgte die Arbeit der Kollegen derweil von der Raumstation aus.

    Drittes Newtonsches Gesetz

    Obwohl keine Schwerkraft die Astronauten bei ihren Handgriffen behinderte, ging das Lösen von Muttern und das Verlegen von Kabeln längst nicht so flink von der Hand wie auf der Erde. Die beiden schienen sich vielmehr - obwohl sie mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 28000 Kilometern in der Stunde um die Erde rasten und es alle 90 Minuten Tag und Nacht wurde - wie in Zeitlupe zu bewegen. Denn einerseits schränken die unförmigen Raumanzüge die Bewegungsfreiheit ein. Zum anderen macht sich im Weltraum aber das „Dritte Newtonsche Gesetz“ viel stärker bemerkbar als auf dem Erdboden.

    Newton hatte im Jahre 1687 herausgefunden, daß jeder mechanischen Kraft eine gleich starke Kraft entgegenwirkt, die in umgekehrter Richtung wirkt. Wer beispielsweise auf der Erde mit einem schweren Schraubenschlüssel eine große Mutter anzieht, stützt sich meist unbewußt mit den Füßen oder Ellenbogen ab, um diese Gegenkraft auszugleichen. Dabei kommt einem auf dem Erdboden die Schwerkraft zu Hilfe: Man kann sich mit seinem Körpergewicht gegen die Newtonsche Kraft stemmen.

    Jeder Handgriff erfordert größeren Einsatz

    Unter Wasser oder in der Schwerelosigkeit des Weltraums wiegt der Körper aber so gut wie nichts - und die Gegenkraft kann ungehindert wirken. Reiter und Williams hätten sich beispielsweise beim Anziehen von Schrauben und Muttern unweigerlich um sich selbst gedreht, wenn sie sich nicht in eigens konstruierten Fußschlingen hätten festhaken können. Doch trotz dieses festen „Standbeins“ erfordert jeder Handgriff im Weltraum einen viel größeren Einsatz an körperlicher Kraft als auf der Erde.

    Dieser Weltraumspaziergang war Reiters dritter Ausflug ins All außerhalb eines Raumschiffes. Während seines Aufenthaltes auf der inzwischen abgestürzten russischen Station „Mir“ zwischen September 1995 und Februar 1996 verbrachte er zweimal jeweils mehrere Stunden an der Außenseite der Station. Dabei wechselte er unter anderem Laborcontainer von der Größe von Schuhkartons aus, die außerhalb der Mir angebracht waren, um die Wirkung von kosmischer Strahlung auf verschiedene Materialien zu untersuchen.

    Wegen Katrina und Rita wird im All gespart

    Der jüngste Weltraumspaziergang Reiters stand aber unter keinem günstigen Stern. Die amerikanische Weltraumbehörde Nasa leidet nämlich an erheblichem Geldmangel. Die technischen Verbesserungen, die nach der Havarie der Raumfähre Columbia an den verbleibenden drei Raumtransportern vorgenommen wurden, haben bisher mehr als 1,3 Milliarden Dollar verschlungen.

    Hinzu kommt, daß einige Nasa-Einrichtungen an der Golfküste der Vereinigten Staaten im vergangenen Jahr durch die Wirbelstürme Katrina und Rita schwer beschädigt wurden. Da gleichzeitig der Etat der Behörde im amerikanischen Bundeshaushalt stagniert, muß die Nasa Geld sparen. Unter anderem wird deshalb erwogen, die ohnehin minimalen amerikanischen Forschungsbeiträge an Bord der Raumstation vollkommen einzustellen. Dadurch könnte die Behörde 100 Millionen Dollar im Jahr sparen.

    Astronauten nur noch Handwerker und Hausmeister

    Schon vor zwei Jahren mußten amerikanische Forscher, die sich mit Experimenten an den Flügen zur Raumstation beteiligen wollten, einen Rückschlag hinnehmen. Damals stellte die Nasa nämlich alle wissenschaftlichen Versuche ein, die nicht direkt mit dem Langzeitaufenthalt von Astronauten im Weltraum zu tun hatten. Man ließ also alle anorganischen Experimente wegfallen. Als Begründung hieß es damals, man wolle sich vollkommen auf die von Präsident Bush angekündigte Wiederaufnahme der Flüge zum Mond und zum Mars konzentrieren. Nun soll womöglich auch diese Art der Forschung eingestellt werden. Die Astronauten wären dann mehr denn je lediglich Hausmeister und Handwerker auf der Station.

        ISS013-E-62714 (2 Aug. 2006)
        Mt. Etna Summit Plumes, Sicily is featured in this image photographed by
        an Expedition 13 crewmember on the International Space Station. One of
        the most consistently active volcanoes in the world is Sicily's Mt. Etna,
        which has a historical record of eruptions dating back to 1500 B.C. This
        image captures plumes of steam and possible minor ash originating from
        summit craters on the mountain -- the Northeast Crater and Central
        Crater, which includes two secondary craters (Voragine and Bocca
        Nuova). Explosions were heard from the rim of the Northeast Crater on
        July 26, and scientists suspect that these plumes are a continuation of that
        activity. The massive 3350 meter high volcano is located approximately
        24 kilometers to the north of Catania, the second largest city in Sicily, and
        dominates the northern skyline. Much of Etna's surface is comprised of
        numerous generations of dark basaltic lava flows, as can be seen
        extended outwards from the summit craters. Fertile soils developed on
        older flows are marked by green vegetation. While the current explosive
        eruptions of Etna tend to occur at the summit, lava flows generally erupt
        through fissures lower down on the flanks of the volcano. Many of the lava
        flow vents are marked by cinder cones on the flanks of Mt. Etna.
        Scientists have noted evidence of larger eruptive events as well. The Valle
        Del Bove to the south-southeast of the summit is a caldera formed by the
        emptying of a subsurface magma chamber during a large eruptive event
        -- once the magma chamber was emptied, the overlaying roof material
        collapsed downwards.

        Members of the European champion soccer team, FC Barcelona, made a
        special call at 4:10 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Aug. 8 to the International Space
        Station crew. During a visit to NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, the
        team stopped in the Station (Blue) Flight Control Room in Mission Control
        to make the call. The FC Barcelona team is scheduled to play an Aug. 9
        exhibition game against Club America, one of Mexico's top club teams.
        Players, coaches and guests of the team visited mission control rooms
        used for the station and shuttle, and the historic control room used during
        Apollo missions and lunar landings. They also visited training facilities
        including full-scale mockups of the station and shuttle.

                  This emblem embodies the past, present, and future of human space
                  exploration. The Roman numeral XIV suspended above the Earth against
                  the black background of space symbolizes the fourteenth expeditionary
                  mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Elements of this symbol
                  merge into a unified trajectory destined for the moon, Mars, and beyond,
                  much as science and operations aboard the ISS today will pave the way
                  for future missions to our celestial neighbors. The five stars honor the
                  astronauts and cosmonauts of missions Apollo 1, Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11,
                  Challenger, and Columbia, who gave their lives in the pursuit of
                  knowledge and discovery.

                    Health test defeats space tourist

                    21 August 2006

                    A Japanese businessman hoping to fly to the International Space Station
                    (ISS) has failed his medical test, according to Russian space agency
                    officials.



                    Daisuke Enomoto's replacement
                    will be decided soon


                    Daisuke "Dice-K" Enomoto, 34, was hoping to become the fourth space
                    tourist after being chosen to fly on board a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

                    He was due to accompany the 14th space station crew on a flight next
                    month.

                    Previous private space explorers are Americans Dennis Tito and Greg
                    Olsen and South African Mark Shuttleworth.

                    Russian Federal Space Agency spokesman Igor Panarin said that Enomoto
                    was "deemed not ready to fly for exclusively medical reasons".

                    He was due to begin the journey on 14 September with US commander
                    Miguel Lopez-Alegria and Russian flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin.

                    Mr Panarin said that his replacement would be decided shortly.

                    Enomoto's back-up is Anousheh Ansari, an American citizen of Iranian
                    descent. She could now be the new occupant of the third seat.

                    Whoever fills it will spend a total of 10 days in space before returning to
                    Earth alongside current occupants of the ISS - Russian commander Pavel
                    Vinogradov and US flight engineer Jeff Williams.

                    A 10-day flight to the ISS, offered by Virginia-based company Space
                    Adventures, costs $20m.

                    UPDATE August 23:

                    Anousheh Ansari will launch with Expedition 14 and land with
                    Expedition 13 under a commercial contract with the Russian
                    Federal Space Agency. (NASA.gov)





                    Getting Ready for Space Shuttle Atlantis

                    23 August 2006

                    The International Space Station performed a reboost during a 9-minute,
                    4-second burn of the ISS Progress 21 engines at 12:04 p.m. EDT
                    Wednesday. This placed the station at the correct altitude to support the
                    rendezvous with Space Shuttle Atlantis for the STS-115 launch and the
                    Soyuz launch of the Expedition 14 crew in September. The reboost
                    increased the station's altitude by 2.5 statute miles.

                    Jeff Williams conducted a voluntary “Saturday Science” program by
                    performing a full-beacon session of the Synchronized Position Hold,
                    Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) payload. The
                    SPHERES experiment, which includes three small balls that fly in formation
                    in the station cabin, tests systems for controlling multiple spacecraft.

                    Last week, Williams activated the Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle
                    School Students (EarthKAM) hardware for a new session, giving school
                    students around the world access to a digital still camera mounted in a
                    window of the space station and enabling them to view the world from an
                    astronaut's perspective. Over 800 images were taken by 44 schools last
                    week.

                              so ein misst das man nirgendwo den Shuttle Start mitverfolgen konnte. Keine Website kein Fernsehsender. Hat jemand ne Qualle ob alles Glatt gelaufen ist?

                              Start war jetzt um 18.29 Uhr
                              Der Start wurde um mindestens 24 Stunden verschoben, wegen Problemen.
                              Näheres findest du im dazugehörigen Thema zur STS-115-Mission.

                              Phönix überträgt meistens die Starts und auch spezielle Weltraumsendungen.
                              Auch die Webseite der NASA zeigt Videos.

                                Japp, Neuigkeiten zur Atlantis gibt es nur in dem STS-115-Thread und wenn der Start verschoben wird, dann gebe ich das auch dort so schnell wie möglich bekannt. Und wenn kein Start stattfindet, dann wird er auch nicht im TV gezeigt.

                                Wenn der Start stattfindet, dann übertragen meist Phoenix, n-tv, N24, CNN und selbstverständlich NASA TV im Internet (siehe Link am Ende eines jeden Beitrags).
