Expedition 14 Crew

The International Space Station crewmembers spent this week getting
ready for an upcoming spacewalk, performing scientific research and
voting in the elections back on Earth.

Throughout the week, the crew prepared the Pirs docking compartment
for the Nov. 22 spacewalk by Expedition 14 Commander Michael
Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin. They gathered tools and
equipment they will use on the nearly six-hour spacewalk.

Next week, they will prepare the Russian Orlan spacesuits they will wear
for the excursion. During the spacewalk, they will relocate a
communications antenna, install new experiment hardware and
photograph a Kurs rendezvous system antenna on the Progress supply
ship that docked to the Zvezda module’s aft docking port last month.
Tyurin will also conduct a Russian commercial demonstration by hitting a
golf ball teed up on the exterior of Pirs.

A top priority for Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter this week was packing
material destined to return to Earth on the Space Shuttle Discovery in
December. Lopez-Alegria completed a routine checkout of the Mobile
Servicing System in support of that shuttle assembly flight.

On mission STS-116, targeted to launch Dec. 7, the shuttle crew will
deliver another component of the station’s truss structure and perform
spacewalks to rewire the station's electrical system. The shuttle crew
includes astronaut Suni Williams, who will relieve Reiter on board. Reiter
will have spent six months on the complex.

Lopez-Alegria, the NASA ISS Science Officer for Expedition 14, collected
his third set of blood and urine samples for the Nutritional Status
Assessment, or Nutrition experiment. This experiment measures
physiological indicators of the changes in the human body during
spaceflight.

The samples are stored in the Minus-Eighty Degree Laboratory Freezer for
ISS (MELFI). Once returned to Earth the blood and urine samples will be
analyzed to understand a wide variety of systems, including markers of
bone metabolism, oxidative damage, vitamin and mineral status and
hormonal changes and how they relate to stress, bone and muscle
metabolism.

The findings are expected to give researchers a better understanding of
what happens to crewmembers in space and when it happens during a
mission. It also will help to define nutritional requirements and develop
food systems for future missions to the moon and Mars.

Working hundreds of miles away from home didn’t stop Lopez-Alegria
from participating in this week’s general election. Texas law permits
residents who happen to be on orbit on Election Day to cast a ballot from
space -- it was first done by David Wolf from the Mir space station in
1997. Lopez-Alegria made his choices on an encrypted computer ballot
that was downlinked to Mission Control and forwarded to the county
clerk’s office in Houston for tabulation.

The next station status report will be issued Nov. 17, or earlier if events
warrant.

ISS Weltraumschrott?

Ich glaube das gehört hier rein und wurde bis jetzt noch nicht erwähnt.(glaub ich)Das habeich im Internet gefunden:

Rückblick: 1. Februar 2003 – ein schwarzer Tag in der Geschichte der Raumfahrt. In 80 Kilometer Höhe zerbricht die Raumfähre Columbia in alle Einzelteile. Alle sieben Astronauten an Bord sterben. Eine der Folgen: Noch lange danach hatten die übrigen Space Shuttles Flugverbot. Bis jetzt sind seit der Katastrophe erst dreimal Raumfähren zur ISS gestartet, zuletzt mit einem Sonnensegel zur Energieerzeugung an Bord. Die Internationale Raumstation ist damit in ihrer Versorgung wesentlich eingeschränkt. Nur die russischen Sojus-Raumschiffe ermöglichen noch eine kontinuierliche Verbindung zur Erde. Das Problem: Sie haben wesentlich weniger Platz und können die ISS daher nur mit dem Nötigsten versorgen. Größere Bauteile wie neue Laboratorien passen schlicht nicht an Bord.

Keine Zeit zum Forschen

Trotzdem sind weiterhin Astronauten zur ISS geflogen, derzeit hält der Deutsche Thomas Reiter, zusammen mit zwei Kollegen, die Stellung. Die Astronauten sind aber in erster Linie damit beschäftigt, die Station am Leben zu halten. Zeit zum Forschen bleibt da wenig. Und selbst wenn sie forschen wollten, so haben sie kaum Geräte und Laboreinrichtungen, weil die großen ISS-Labore, wie das Columbusmodul, noch auf der Erde stehen.

Erbarmungsloser Rotstift

Zusätzlich schaden seit geraumer Zeit finanzielle Engpässe der Forschungsplattform im All. Nicht nur die Russen sind knapp bei Kasse, auch die NASA will sparen. So stoppte die US-Raumfahrtbehörde etwa die Entwicklung des CRV („Crew Return Vehicle“) – ein Rettungsboot für Astronauten, das auch unter dem Namen X-38 bekannt ist. Doch ohne dieses Mini-Raumschiff bleibt die Besatzung der ISS dauerhaft auf drei Raumfahrer beschränkt. Das Aus für das CRV kam kurz vor seiner Fertigstellung. Höhe der bereits geleisteten Investitionen: 100 Millionen Dollar.

Auch ein aufblasbares Vakuummodul fiel den Sparplänen zum Opfer. Seine Besonderheit: Während des Transports ist es zusammenfaltbar und benötigt daher wenig Platz, in seiner Mitte jedoch birgt es ein Labor. Der Vorteil: Mit ihm wären in Zukunft größere und billigere Raumstationen möglich. Auf der ISS sollte es zum ersten Mal zum Einsatz kommen. Entwicklungskosten des Projekts: 200 Millionen Dollar.

Nutzung als Weltraumhotel

Lediglich die Russen nutzen die Zeit, in der die ISS relativ untätig im All vor sich hindümpelt, ökonomisch betrachtet sinnvoll. Sie erklärten die ISS zum Weltraumhotel. Der amerikanische Millionär Dennis Tito war der erste Weltraumtourist in der Geschichte der Raumfahrt. Eine Woche lang verweilte er an Bord der ISS. Der Preis: 20 Millionen Dollar.

Die Zeit drängt

Leider gilt auch für die ISS im Weltraum das Motto: Zeit ist Geld. Denn die ersten Bauteile brachte man bereits 1998 ins All. Ihre Lebensdauer läuft im Jahr 2013 aus. Je später weitere Module wie das europäische Columbuslabor dazukommen, umso kürzer ist die Zeit, in der man in ihnen tatsächlich forschen kann. Derzeit plant die NASA, die ISS bis 2010 fertig zu stellen. Gelingt dies nicht, dann wird die ISS wohl nie zu Ende gebaut, weil ab 2010 keine Space Shuttles mehr starten sollen. Die alten Raumfähren sind zu teuer im Betrieb. Und selbst wenn sich die Raumstation bis zum Jahr 2010 fertig stellen ließe, wäre sie das teuerste Forschungslabor in der Geschichte der Menschheit. In der verbleibenden nutzbaren Zeit von 2010 bis 2013 würde jeder Forschungstag etwa 91 Millionen Euro kosten.

[STS-Chris]

Eine Quellenangabe wäre jetzt nicht schlecht gewesen.

Die Aussage, dass ohne das CRV nicht mehr als drei Personen an Bord der ISS bleiben können, ist schon mal falsch. Ab 2009 wird es eine sechsköpfige Stammbesatzung geben, die im Notfall mit zwei Sojus-Raumschiffen zur Erde zurückkehren kann.

Vorbereitungen auf Weltraumausstieg

19. November 2006

Die Expedition Crew 14 der International Space Station traf diese Woche
die letzten Vorbereitungen für die Extravehicular Activity am 22.
November 2006, während der unter anderem etwas Golf gespielt wird.


Position for Golf task (Image: NASA)

Die abschließenden Vorbereitungen auf die Extravehicular Activity (EVA) der Expedition Crew 14 (EC-14) am 22. November 2006 standen diese Woche im Mittelpunkt der Tätigkeiten von Commander (CDR) und National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) International Space Station (ISS) Science Officer (SO) Michael Lopez-Alegria, Flight Engineer (FE) Michail Tjurin und FE Thomas Reiter. Deshalb stiegen Lopez-Alegria und Tjurin am 17. November 2006 in ihre russischen Orlan-Weltraumanzüge, um alle Systeme und die Sprechverbindung zu überprüfen. Außerdem wurden amerikanische Helmleuchten an den Orlan-Weltraumanzügen befestigt, die Arbeitsanleitungen für die EVA besprochen und Dichtigkeitsüberprüfungen mit der Progress M-57 durchgeführt, die an das Docking Compartment 1 (DC-1) Pirs angekoppelt ist, von wo aus auch die EVA beginnen wird.


EVA worksites highlighted (Image: NASA)

Die auf eine Dauer von sechs Stunden festgesetzte EVA wird der sechste Weltraumausstieg für Lopez-Alegria. Während der Mission Space Transportation System 92 (STS-92) führte er zwei EVAs am 16. Oktober 2000 und am 18. Oktober 2000 aus und während der Mission STS-113 drei EVAs am 26. November 2002, am 28. November 2002 und am 30. November 2002. Für Tjurin ist es der vierte Weltraumausstieg. Er führte während der Mission der EC-3 drei EVAs am 08. Oktober 2001, am 15. Oktober 2001 und am 03. Dezember 2001 aus. Der Weltraumausstieg am 22. November 2006 wird aus medienwirksamer Sicht einen Golfballabschlag durch Tjurin umfassen. Im Rahmen einer kommerziellen Vereinbarung zwischen der Federal Space Agency (FSA) und einer kanadischen Golffirma wird Tjurin einen Golfball entgegen der Flugrichtung der Weltraumstation in den Weltraum schlagen, so dass sich der Golfball von der Weltraumstation wegbewegen wird. Nach Berechnungen der Missionskontrolleure wird der Golfball nach etwa drei Tagen in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten und verglühen. Der Golfball wiegt mit nur 3 Gramm deutlich weniger als ein gewöhnlicher Golfball mit 45 Gramm.

Während der EVA wird Tjurin Teile der Progress M-58 begutachten, weil eine der Antennen des automatischen Kopplungssystems Kurs bei der Kopplung an den hinteren Kopplungsstutzen des Service Module Swjesda am 26. Oktober 2006 unter Umständen nicht vollständig eingefahren wurde. Bei Bedarf wird Tjurin die Antenne manuell zusammenfalten. Tjurin hat eine gewisse Erfahrung mit EVAs zur Behebung von Schwierigkeiten mit russischen Progress-Weltraumfrachtern. Seine letzte EVA am 03. Dezember 2001 hatte zur Aufgabe, eine Dichtung zu entfernen, die die Progress M-45 bei der Abkopplung am 22. November 2001 am hinteren Kopplungsstutzen des Service Module Swjesda zurückgelassen hatte und die Ankopplung der Progress M1-7 behinderte, was dazu führte dass nach der weichen Ankopplung am 28. November 2001 die harte Ankopplung erst nach der EVA am 03. Dezember 2001 erfolgen konnte. Außerdem werden Lopez-Alegria und Tjurin eine Kommunikationsantenne am hinteren Ende des Service Module Swjesda umsetzen. Die Kommunikationsantenne wird für die Kopplung des Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) der European Space Agency (ESA) benötigt, dessen Start für den 18. Juni 2007 vorgesehen ist. Auf der Aufgabenliste stehen ebenfalls die Überprüfung der Befestigungsbolzen an einem der beiden russischen Strela-Kräne, die am DC-1 Pirs montiert sind, und das Aussetzen eines Experimentes, das Sonnenausbrüche misst.

Die Missionskontrolleure führten diese Woche die Überprüfungen des Control Moment Gyroscope 3 (CMG-3) fort, das in der Vergangenheit starke Vibrationen und erhöhte Stromwerte anzeigte und am 09. Oktober 2006 abgeschaltet wurde. Die gewonnenen Ergebnisse werden mit denen einer früheren Überprüfungsreihe verglichen, um zusätzlichen Informationen zum Status des Beschleunigungsmessers, der Schmierstoffe und der Schmierung der Lager zu erhalten. Der Ausbau und der Austausch des CMG-3 ist während der Mission STS-118 vorgesehen, die am 28. Juni 2007 starten soll. Zur Erde zurückgebracht wird der CMG-3 mit der Mission STS-122, deren Start für den 17. Oktober 2007 vorgesehen ist. Gegenwärtig wird die Weltraumstation mit der ausreichenden Anzahl von drei funktionieren CMGs im Weltraum ausgerichtet.

IMAX: Space Station

Hier also beginnt unsere Zukunft: 350 Kilometer über der Erde rast sie mit
28.000 Stundenkilometern um die Welt – das umfangreichste
wissenschaftliche Experiment aller Zeiten: die International Space Station
(ISS). IMAX präsentiert eine faszinierende Dokumentation über das Labor
im All, in dem die Weltraumhelden von heute Technologien entwickeln, die
den Menschen der Zukunft die Reise zum Mars ermöglichen werden und
Probleme auf der Erde lösen. Zu den Highlights gehören der Bau der
Station im Weltraum und verblüffende Aufnahmen von der Crew bei der
Arbeit, beim Fitness-Training oder so alltäglichen Probleme wie
Haareschneiden oder Wasser trinken (in der Schwerelosigkeit kann man
einen schwebenden H2O-Tropfen aus der Luft fangen, wie ein Frosch sich
eine Fliege schnappt!) Space Station wurde im IMAX-Format gedreht und
war in IMAX-Kinos rund um die Welt zu sehen. Diese Videoversion wurde
vom originalen 70mm-Filmmaterial abgetastet, wobei die
Ton-Komponenten so gemischt und gemastert wurden, dass sie einen
Dolby- Surround-Soundtrack von höchster Qualität ergeben.

International Space Station Status Report #07-8
4:30 p.m. CST Thursday, Feb. 8, 2007
Expedition 14 Crew

With all scheduled tasks accomplished, International Space Station Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Sunita Williams wound up a 6-hour, 40-minute spacewalk at 2:06 p.m. CST Thursday.

It was the last in an unprecedented series of three U. S. spacewalks in nine days from the Quest airlock. Major tasks of this spacewalk included removing and jettisoning two large shrouds and installing an attachment for cargo carriers.

Lopez-Alegria and Williams moved from the airlock out to Crew Equipment Transfer Aid (CETA) carts on the rails of the main truss. Pushing one cart with their equipment, including a foot restraint, they moved to the Port 3 truss segment. Their first job was to remove two thermal shrouds, one from each of two Rotary Joint Motor Controllers (RJMC) on P3.

Next, they removed two large shrouds from P3 Bays 18 and 20. The shrouds, larger than king-size bed sheets, provide thermal shading. With the station in its present orientation, they are no longer needed and are being removed to avoid trapping heat.

Each large shroud was packed with one of the smaller RJMC shrouds into a package weighing about 20 pounds. Lopez-Alegria jettisoned them toward the rear of the station. Afterward, an Unpressurized Cargo Carrier Assembly Attachment System (UCCAS) on the upper face of the P3 truss was deployed. That was done in preparation for attachment of a cargo platform on the STS-118 mission to the ISS later this year.

While Lopez-Alegria finished work on the UCCAS, Williams moved to the end of the P5 truss to remove two launch locks in preparation for the relocation of the P6 truss to that segment.

The final scheduled task of the spacewalk was connecting the final four cables of the Station to Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) to Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 (PMA-2) at the forward end of the Destiny laboratory where shuttles dock. The SSPTS will allow visiting shuttles to derive power from the station to extend their missions.

Work began on the system during the Jan. 31 spacewalk, and two of the cables were routed and connected to PMA-2 on the Feb. 4 spacewalk. The astronauts completed one get-ahead task to photograph a suspect connector on the outboard end of PMA-2. It carries station shuttle communications when the shuttle is docked but hatches are closed. Communications have been intermittent during recent shuttle missions.

Approximately 3 hours, 50 minutes into his ninth spacewalk, Lopez-Alegria set a record Thursday for cumulative spacewalk time by a U.S. astronaut. Jerry Ross previously held the title with 58 hours, 32 minutes accumulated during nine spacewalks. Lopez-Alegria completed the spacewalk with 61 hours, 22 minutes of spacewalking time.

The three spacewalks from the Quest airlock in U.S. spacesuits and a Russian spacewalk on Feb. 22 are the most ever done by station crew members during such a short period and will mark five spacewalks in all for Exp. 14, a record for any expedition. Starting from scratch, it takes crew members about 100 hours to prepare for a spacewalk. By doing the U.S. spacewalks just a few days apart, considerable crew time can be saved by not having to repeat some of the preparation.

Thursday's spacewalk was the 80th for station assembly and maintenance. It was the 52nd from the station and the 32nd from Quest. It was the fourth for Williams, the most for any woman.

During the final spacewalk on Feb. 22, Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin will wear Russian Orlan suits to work on an antenna on the Progress 23 cargo ship docked at the aft port of the Zvezda service module. The antenna did not properly retract when that spacecraft docked in October. The spacewalkers will try to secure or remove the antenna to avoid any interference with the undocking of a Progress in April. The spacewalk will be the 10th for Lopez-Alegria, a new record for a U. S. astronaut.

The next station status report will be issued Friday, Feb. 16, or earlier if events warrant.

ISS Progress 26 to Launch Thursday

Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Image credit: NASA/Mark Bowman

The ISS Progress 26 (P26) craft is scheduled to launch Thursday from the
Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at about 1:33 p.m EDT (19:33
CEST). The P26 vehicle rolled to its launch pad Tuesday loaded with 5,111
pounds of food, fuel, air, water and supplies.

The cargo craft also contains new Russian computers, cables, connectors
and a commanding unit. The commanding unit will replace an identical unit
on the station when the upcoming STS-118 mission visits. The unit is
suspected of causing the computer failure during the STS-117 mission in
June. P26 is scheduled to dock with the station on Aug. 5.

Wednesday’s undocking of the ISS Progress 24 (P24) was successfully
completed at 10:07 a.m. (16:07 CEST). Configuration issues resulted in
the Progress not doing the separation burn, but the deorbit burn occurred
on time. P24 was about four miles from the station when the deorbit burn
began a little after 2:40 p.m. (20:40 CEST), sending the Progress and its
load of trash to destruction in the Earth's atmosphere.

On the station, Flight Engineers Oleg Kotov and Clay Anderson took turns
doing robotics proficiency training with ground controllers Wednesday in
preparation for the STS-118 mission.

Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Kotov practiced rendezvous pitch
maneuver (RPM) photography. They used digital cameras with 400mm and
800mm lenses to mimic their work during Endeavour's approach to the
station on the STS-118 mission. The RPM is a 360-degree back flip by the
shuttle, which is done so images of its heat shield may be taken.
