Europe and U.S. join forces to test astroid deflection technology

Date:SEPTEMBER 15, 2020, FILE The European space agency (ESA) signed a 129.4 million euros($153.80 million) contract on Tuesday for the production of a spacecraft that will be part of a joint project with NASA to explore how to deflect an asteroid heading for Earth. NASA is due to launch a spacecraft in June 2021 set on a collision course with the Dimorphos that orbits the Didymos asteroid to test whether it would be possible to nudge objects that might be threatening Earth onto a safer path. ESA will then launch its spacecraft - named Hera after the Greek goddess of marriage - in October 2024 to map the resulting impact crater and measure the asteroid's mass, reaching the Didymos system in late 2026 for a six-month survey. If the NASA mission succeeds, ESA said it would be the first celestial body to be deliberately shifted by a human craft. Dimorphos has a diameter of 160 metres, about the width of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which ESA said was big enough to destroy an entire city if it were to hit Earth. Hera, set to be only the size of a desk, should navigate autonomously around the asteroid while it collects data. It will also launch mini satellites - 10 cm cubes which will be able to fly much closer to the asteroid's surface. The contract signed with a consortium led by German space and technology group OHB covers the complete development, integration and testing of the Hera craft, including the guidance, navigation and control system. The mission is reminiscent of the 1998 film Armageddon, in which actor Bruce Willis plays a member of a team sent to destroy an asteroid to save Earth.

Brazil's Amazon fires worsen in September, threaten virgin forests

Date:SEPTEMBER 9, 2020, FILE Fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest worsened in the first week of September and are increasingly spreading into areas of untouched forest, satellite data showed as of Wednesday (September 9), after the number of fires likely reached a 10-year high in August. Brazil reported 8,373 fires in its portion of the Amazon rainforest for the first seven days of September, more than double the number of fires in the same period a year-ago, according to data from Brazil's national space research agency Inpe. A pressing concern is that 27% of the major fires so far in September have been in virgin forest, rather than in recently deforested areas or farmland where blazes are more contained, according to an analysis of satellite images by U.S.-based non-profit Amazon Conservation, reviewed exclusively by Reuters. That's up from 13% in August. Considering all types of fires, September has already averaged 53 major blazes per day in the first week, up from 18 a day in August, according to Amazon Conservation. Amazon Conservation defines major fires as those that emit enough smoke to indicate a large amount of biomass is burning, whereas Inpe's data is based on heat points, which also detect smaller fires. The Inpe figure showing fires doubled may be an underestimate because an issue with a NASA satellite caused partial data to be reported until September 2, although the issue has been resolved in subsequent days, according to NASA and Inpe. Revised Inpe data is expected to show fires increased to a ten-year high for August, even worse than the same month last year when Amazon fires provoked global outcry.

SpaceX Crew Dragon makes historic splashdown off Florida

The SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft carrying two NASA astronauts parachuted to a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida on Sunday, completing a two-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The spacecraft splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, at 2:48 p.m. EDT (1848 GMT) Sunday. The weather conditions appeared "great" for the parachute splashdown, tweeted NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. The SpaceX recovery vessel GO Navigator was waiting at the landing zone. The recovery teams reached the SpaceX Dragon capsule and gathered the parachutes in the water. SpaceX engineers did a purge of vapor fumes around the Dragon Endeavour to ensure the safety of the crew when they opened the hatch. The spacecraft hatch was later opened. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley were safely brought out of the capsule. The return began at 7:35 p.m. EDT Saturday when the Crew Dragon spacecraft autonomously undocked from the ISS Harmony module. After an approximately 19-hour return journey, the spacecraft began to deorbit burn at 1:56 p.m. EDT Sunday, and deployed four main parachutes. The return of the test flight with the two astronauts from the ISS marks the first splashdown of an American crew spacecraft in 45 years, said NASA. It also wrapped up the test flight for the first commercially owned and operated crewed spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. Astronauts Behnken and Hurley took off from U.S. soil on May 30, riding aboard Crew Dragon spacecraft in a historic test flight to the ISS. They arrived at the ISS in the Crew Dragon on May 31, where they performed tests on Crew Dragon in addition to conducting research and other tasks with the space station crew. The mission, dubbed Demo-2, is the first crewed launch to orbit from U.S. soil since NASA's shuttle program ended in 2011, and also the first-ever manned space launch by a private company, ushering in a new era of U.S. space exploration. This is SpaceX's final test flight for NASA's Commercial Crew Program and will provide critical data on the performance of the Falcon 9 rocket, Crew Dragon spacecraft, and ground systems, as well as in-orbit, docking and landing operations, according to NASA.

SpaceX Crew Dragon undocks from space station

The SpaceX Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley undocked from the forward end of the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday to complete a two-month mission. The spacecraft undocked from Harmony module of the ISS at 7:35 p.m. EDT (2335 GMT), said NASA. Two very small engine burns separated Crew Dragon from the ISS, and the spacecraft is slowly maneuvering away from the orbital laboratory into an orbital track that will return the astronaut crew and its cargo safely to Earth, according to NASA. Once flying free, the spacecraft will autonomously execute four departure burns to move the spaceship away from the ISS and begin the flight home. "'Dragon departing.' The @SpaceX Dragon Endeavour undocked and separated from @Space_Station. @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug are on their way home to planet Earth," NASA tweeted. NASA later confirmed the spacecraft has exited the "approach ellipsoid" around the space station and is on a safe trajectory. Crew Dragon will be traveling at orbital velocity prior to re-entry, moving at approximately 17,500 miles (28,000 km) per hour. The maximum temperature it will experience on re-entry is approximately 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,927 degrees Celsius). NASA and SpaceX are targeting Pensacola in the Gulf of Mexico as the primary return location for splashdown and recovery for Crew Dragon with two American astronauts, scheduled at 2:41 p.m. Eastern Time (1841 GMT) on Sunday. Recovery ships at splashdown sites will have personnel, including spacecraft engineers, trained water recovery experts, medical professionals, the ship's crew, cargo experts and others to assist in the recovery, said NASA. The two astronauts arrived at the ISS in the Crew Dragon on May 31 following a launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission, dubbed Demo-2, is the first crewed launch to orbit from U.S. soil since NASA's shuttle program ended in 2011, and also the first-ever manned space launch by a private company, ushering in a new era of U.S. space exploration.

NASA launches Mars rover to look for signs of former life

NASA launched its Mars rover Perseverance Thursday morning in a bid to search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. The rover lifted off at 7:50 a.m. EDT (1150 GMT) on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the U.S. state of Florida. "The rocket has separated from the first stage and is being boosted to orbit by the Centaur second stage. @NASAPersevere is now preparing for a second burn that will put it on a trajectory towards Mars," the agency tweeted. After a seven-month journey, the rover is expected to characterize the planet's geology and climate, and collect rock and soil samples for a possible return to Earth, according to NASA. Perseverance is the fifth Mars rover sent by NASA to Mars, after Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity. NASA said the rover also ferries a 1.8-kg helicopter to the surface of Mars, marking it the first aircraft to fly in a controlled way on another planet. Every 26 months, Mars reaches the closest point to Earth in its orbit, and this summer is the latest launch window to the Red Planet, when launching a spacecraft will use the least amount of fuel. The liftoff of Perseverance is the third Mars exploration of the international community this year following China's first Mars Mission, Tianwen-1, and the first Mars orbiter of the United Arab Emirates earlier this month.

NASA poised to launch new rover to seek evidence of past Martian life

Date:JULY 29, 2020, FILE NASA is set to launch an ambitious mission to Mars on Thursday (July 30) with the liftoff of its next-generation Perseverance rover, a six-wheeled robot tasked with deploying a mini helicopter, testing out equipment for future human missions and searching for traces of past Martian life. The $2.4 billion mission, slated for liftoff at 7:50 a.m. ET (1150 GMT) from Florida's Cape Canaveral, is planned as the U.S. space agency's ninth trek to the Martian surface. The United Arab Emirates and China separately this month launched probes to Mars in displays of technological prowess and ambition. Launching atop an Atlas 5 rocket from the Boeing-Lockheed joint venture United Launch Alliance, the car-sized Perseverance rover is expected to reach Mars next February. It is due to land at the base of an 820-foot-deep (250 meters) crater called Jezero, a former lake from 3.5 billion years ago that scientists believe could hold traces of potential past microbial Martian life. "This is the first time in history where we're going to go to Mars with an explicit mission to find life on another world," NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine told a news briefing on Wednesday (July 29). The rover will attempt for the first time to bring Martian rock samples back to Earth, collecting materials in cigar-sized capsules and leaving them scattered on the surface for retrieval by a future "fetch" rover. That conceptual rover is expected to launch the samples back into space to link up with other spacecraft for an eventual Earth homecoming around 2031. Also aboard Perseverance is a four-pound (1.8 kg) autonomous helicopter dubbed Ingenuity that is due to test powered flight on Mars for the first time. "Imagine a day when we land a robot on Mars and that robot can send maybe a dozen helicopters in different directions to make different discoveries," Bridenstine said. Since NASA's first Mars rover Sojourner landed in 1997, the agency has sent two others - Spirit and Opportunity - that have revealed the geology of vast Martian plains and found evidence of past water formations, among other discoveries. NASA has successfully sent three landers - Pathfinder, Phoenix, InSight - as well. The United States has plans to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s under its Artemis program, which envisions using a return to the moon as a testing platform for human missions before making the bigger leap to Mars.

Spectacular time-lapse footage of Neowise comet in the Philippines

Spectacular time-lapse footage shows the Neowise comet travelling across the night sky in the Philippines. Astronomy enthusiast Renn Avellaneda Acomular recorded the once-in-a-lifetime video of the meteor from outside his house in Infanta, Quezon province on July 26. He said: "It felt pretty special to catch a glimpse of Neowise before it disappeared for thousands of years.'' Comet Neowise - with the scientific name C/2020 F3 - was discovered on March 27 by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission, which used NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope to look for near-Earth objects including asteroids and comets. The comet made its closest approach to the sun (called perihelion) on July 23 and the next chance to see it will be in 7,000 years. The comet is one of the brightest since Hale-Bopp, which passed by the planet in 1997. ‘Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered in late March and brightened as it reached its closest approach to the Sun, inside the orbit of Mercury, late last week,’ Nasa said.

Time to go to Mars

If you want to take a trip to Mars, now is the time to go. Every 26 months, Mars reaches the closest point to Earth in its orbit, and the nearest launch window to the Red Planet is this summer, when launching a spacecraft will use the least amount of fuel. On Thursday, China launched a Mars probe, aiming to complete orbiting, landing and roving in one mission, marking the first step in its planetary exploration of the solar system. A Long March-5 rocket, China's largest launch vehicle, carrying the spacecraft with a mass of about 5 tonnes, soared into the sky from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China's island province of Hainan at 12:41 p.m. (0441 GMT) on the day. This is China's first Mars mission named Tianwen-1. About 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter and a rover, was sent into the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, embarking on an almost seven-month journey to the red planet. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), China and the United States all decided to seize this summer to launch their Mars missions. On Monday, the UAE successfully launched its 1.5-ton Hope Probe, the Arab world's first Mars orbiter, kicking off the three international missions to the Red Planet this summer. The Hope Probe, which measures 2.9 meters in length and 2.37 meters in width, was developed at Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center in Dubai, and took off from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture in southwestern Japan. The probe is expected to reach Mars by 2021 to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the UAE. U.S. Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is slated to launch no earlier than July 30, said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on its official website. The rover will take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, and will land on the Red Planet in February 2021, NASA said. The rover's astrobiology mission will seek signs of past microscopic life on Mars, explore the geology of the Jezero Crater landing site, and demonstrate key technologies to help prepare for future robotic and human exploration, according to NASA. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Roscosmos Space Corporation said in mid-March that the launch of the second ExoMars mission was delayed to 2022. Japan's Mars mission is scheduled to launch in 2024, said the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The ESA said the scientific reasons for heading to Mars, the planet that is most similar to Earth in the Solar System, are searching for life, understanding the surface and the evolution of the planet, and preparing for future human exploration.

A space exploration fan, jazz artist Gregory Porter to sing for NASA launch

Date:JULY 23, 2020, FILE Jazz artist Gregory Porter, whose new single "Concorde" is an ode to space exploration, is set to perform on Thursday (July 30) as part of a ceremony marking the launch of NASA's next generation rover that will search for signs of habitable conditions on Mars. The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter is scheduled to sing the Ray Charles version of "America The Beautiful" during the U.S. space agency's broadcast of the countdown to the launch of the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Mission at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Porter said he will perform from his living room in Bakersfield, California because of the coronavirus pandemic. His record label said Porter was invited after NASA officials heard "Concorde." "I wrote the song when I was on an airplane thinking about the idea of ascension, both in the body but in the mind as well. Flying into the stratosphere," Porter told Reuters, adding how "surreal" it was first hearing from the space agency. "Anyway, NASA caught wind of it and they were interested... in partnering in the release of the song and the release of the video." In the "Concorde" music video, Porter is dressed as an astronaut and appears opposite his young son, Demyan. "When I'm floating around in the galaxy, hanging out with the stars, the sweetest thing to do is to come back down, to drop down to and to be on the soil and to be with your loved ones. And that's what the song is about," Porter said. Porter said he has been a spaceflight fan since watching NASA's first shuttle launch Colombia in 1981. He remembers as a 9 year old being concerned about how the astronauts would return to Earth and making sure they landed back at Edwards Air Force Base, not far from his childhood home. Life in lockdown has meant Porter spending more time with his son, but his family has also been personally affected by the coronavirus. The singer said "Concorde" celebrates his late brother, actor Lloyd Porter's life, who sadly passed away in early May from complications due to COVID-19. The song that is featured on new album "All Rise" was launched on New York-based Lloyd's birthday of July 23. Porter said his passing has brought the family, now seven siblings even closer together than before. "I'm celebrating his life and also his life in my music as well. So, yes, it is an extraordinary, extraordinary time," he said. The robotic rover is intended to study Martian geology and seek signs of ancient microbial life. "All Rise" is released August 28 by Blue Note Records/Universal Music Group. (Production: Lisa Giles-Keddie, Sarah Mills) (Caption:3033SB-MUSIC-GREGORY_PORTER_NASA)

A space exploration fan, jazz artist Gregory Porter to sing for NASA launch

Date:JULY 23, 2020, FILE Jazz artist Gregory Porter, whose new single "Concorde" is an ode to space exploration, is set to perform on Thursday (July 30) as part of a ceremony marking the launch of NASA's next generation rover that will search for signs of habitable conditions on Mars. The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter is scheduled to sing the Ray Charles version of "America The Beautiful" during the U.S. space agency's broadcast of the countdown to the launch of the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Mission at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Porter said he will perform from his living room in Bakersfield, California because of the coronavirus pandemic. His record label said Porter was invited after NASA officials heard "Concorde." "I wrote the song when I was on an airplane thinking about the idea of ascension, both in the body but in the mind as well. Flying into the stratosphere," Porter told Reuters, adding how "surreal" it was first hearing from the space agency. "Anyway, NASA caught wind of it and they were interested... in partnering in the release of the song and the release of the video." In the "Concorde" music video, Porter is dressed as an astronaut and appears opposite his young son, Demyan. "When I'm floating around in the galaxy, hanging out with the stars, the sweetest thing to do is to come back down, to drop down to and to be on the soil and to be with your loved ones. And that's what the song is about," Porter said. Porter said he has been a spaceflight fan since watching NASA's first shuttle launch Colombia in 1981. He remembers as a 9 year old being concerned about how the astronauts would return to Earth and making sure they landed back at Edwards Air Force Base, not far from his childhood home. Life in lockdown has meant Porter spending more time with his son, but his family has also been personally affected by the coronavirus. The singer said "Concorde" celebrates his late brother, actor Lloyd Porter's life, who sadly passed away in early May from complications due to COVID-19. The song that is featured on new album "All Rise" was launched on New York-based Lloyd's birthday of July 23. Porter said his passing has brought the family, now seven siblings even closer together than before. "I'm celebrating his life and also his life in my music as well. So, yes, it is an extraordinary, extraordinary time," he said. The robotic rover is intended to study Martian geology and seek signs of ancient microbial life. "All Rise" is released August 28 by Blue Note Records/Universal Music Group. (Production: Lisa Giles-Keddie, Sarah Mills) (Caption:3033SB-MUSIC-GREGORY_PORTER_NASA)

China declares Mars mission launch a success

Date:JULY 23, 2020 China declared the launch of its first mission to Mars a success on Thursday (July 23) in its first independent mission to another planet, in a display of its technological prowess and ambition to join an elite club of space-faring nations. China's largest carrier rocket, the Long March 5 Y-4, blasted off with an unmanned probe at 12:41 p.m. (0441 GMT) on Thursday from Wenchang Space Launch Centre on the southern island of Hainan. Speaking several hours after the launch spokesman for the Mars mission, Liu Tongjie, said that the launch was "a complete success". The probe is expected to reach Mars in February 2021 where it will attempt to land in Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in the northern hemisphere, and deploy a rover to explore the planet for 90 days. Since 1960, half of all the 50-plus missions to Mars including flybys failed, due to technical problems. Asked if Tianwen-1 would present new frictions with the United States, Liu told Reuters the Chinese mission is a scientific exploration project not to compete with anyone but cooperate with each other. "From our point of view, Mars is large enough for multiple countries to explore and carry out missions," Liu said in an interview, when asked if there was a chance the Chinese rover would meet with Curiosity and InSight.

Spectacular view of Comet Neowise & rare Noctilucent clouds above the skies in Yorkshire

Stargazers in the UK have been looking to the skies recently, in order to secure their glimpse of Comet Neowise, that is showing over UK skies. This time lapse footage was captured at a rural beauty spot near Harrogate this morning(11th July) Comet Neowise was visible with the naked eye, from Almscliff Crag and can easily be seen above the horizon in the northern sky from midnight until an hour before sunrise. The comet is due to be around until the end of this month and will get higher above the horizon each night. Viewers looking at Neowise this morning were also treated to spectacular display from Noctilucent clouds. A statement by NASA... Nasa said: "A comet has suddenly become visible to the unaided eye. "Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered in late March and brightened as it reached its closest approach to the Sun, inside the orbit of Mercury, late last week. "The interplanetary iceberg survived solar heating, so far, and is now becoming closer to the Earth as it starts its long trek back to the outer Solar System. "As Comet NEOWISE became one of the few naked-eye comets of the 21st Century, word spread quickly, and the comet has already been photographed behind many famous sites and cities around the globe."

Images from space show monster Saharan dust cloud headed toward the U.S.

Date:JUNE 25, 2020 + RECENT New imagery from space released on Thursday (June 25) reveal the massive plume of Saharan dust that has shrouded swathes of the Caribbean and turned blue skies into a milky-brown haze, sparking health warnings across the region as air quality fell to unhealthy levels. Strong warm winds over the Sahara desert typically whip up sand at this time of year and carry it thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. This year, the dust is the most dense in a half a century, according to several meteorologists. The thick smog has sharply reduced visibility. The dust cloud moved into the eastern Caribbean at the weekend and by Tuesday (June 23) had smothered Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and eastern Cuba, continuing its advance up and westward toward Central America and southern United States. Officials across the region warned locals to remain at home when possible and wear a face mask, especially if they already had a respiratory condition, as the dust was a powerful irritant and could contain pathogens as well as minerals. The Saharan dust typically "helps build beaches in the Caribbean and fertilizes soils in the Amazon" in addition to affecting air quality, according to NASA, which along with NOAA has captured satellite images of the plume.

The observatory said this year's solar eclipse has the largest visible in Hong Kong since 2012 and will be the largest until the solar eclipse in 2070. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the city's observatory didn't organize a public viewing event but provided a joint webcast with other organisations. But many people gathered with filters and pin-hole devices to see the celestial event. This year's solar eclipse zone stretched across Asia and Africa.

Huge 50,000-year-old crater lake in India mysteriously changes colour to pink

A 50,000-year-old crater lake in western India has left scientists baffled after it mysteriously changed colour to pink. Lonar Lake’s colour shift occurred over the span of a few days and became reddish-pink on June 10. The new colour lasted for 16 hours and the lake slowly turned back to its usual green. The two videos show the difference in colour, one showing the lake's strikingly pink colour, the other shows the lake returning to its natural green. According to NASA Earth Observatory, the colour change was probably caused by microscopic life that responded to stressful environmental conditions. A unicellular green algae called Dunaliella salina, which is present in many water bodies, is green when “water conditions are favourable.” Harsh conditions such as surging saline concentration of water or exposure to a lot of light may cause these algae to produce protective carotenoids, such as the orange-red beta carotene, which may turn the water pink. The water levels at Lonar Lake depleted due to evaporation caused by the dry weather in June. That may have resulted in more salinity and triggered a change of colour is the theory. Lonar Lake was formed 50,000-years-ago after a high-velocity meteor struck the Earth's surface. (Original Title: Huge 50,000-year-old crater lake in India mysteriously changes colour to pink)

International Space Station flies in front of moon in rare footage, just hours after SpaceX Dragon crew capsule docks

A videographer in Switzerland has captured footage of the International Space Station crossing in front of the moon. The rare footage was filmed just hours after two Nasa astronauts docked the SpaceX Dragon crew capsule to the ISS. The ISS is often visible during the night but flying in front of the moon happens much less often. Filmer Olivier Staiger had checked websites transit-finder.com and heavens-above.com in advance and travelled 20 miles from his home to capture the moment, where he knew there would be a "narrow path of visibility." He captured the ISS passing in front of the moon at 22:28 local time from the city of Sierre. "I could track it for three minutes before coming into shot," Staiger told Newsflare by phone on Sunday evening. "The ISS is brighter than any star, because it's so big and illuminated by the sun. There is no contrail behind it and it is not blinking." Staiger adds: "The first scene is filmed in wide angle (52.5 mm), overexposed to show the surrounding stars. Then a short clip, repeated five times, shows a closeup view of the moon as the ISS flew across [it], filmed with another camera/lens combination."

SpaceX launches NASA astronauts into orbit on historic mission

NASA and SpaceX launched Crew Dragon spacecraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, carrying two American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). It is the first time since 2011 that American astronauts were launched on an American rocket from American soil to the ISS. The Crew Dragon spacecraft lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 3:22 p.m. Eastern Time, from historic Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. Veteran NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are co-commanders on the mission. NASA confirmed main engine cutoff and separation of the rocket's first and second stages minutes after the lift-off. Falcon 9's reusable first stage booster has successfully landed on the "Of Course I Still Love You" drone ship off the Florida coast. The Crew Dragon reached Earth orbit about 12 minutes after takeoff, and is making its way to the ISS, according to NASA. The spacecraft is scheduled to dock to the space station on Sunday at 10:27 a.m. Eastern Time. The spacecraft is designed to do this autonomously, but the two astronauts and the station will be monitoring approach and docking, and can take control of the spacecraft if necessary. After successfully docking, Behnken and Hurley will be welcomed aboard station and will become members of the Expedition 63 crew. They will perform tests on Crew Dragon in addition to conducting research and other tasks with the space station crew. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Washington D.C.. (XHTV)

Weather delays SpaceX's first astronaut launch from Florida

Date:MAY 27, 2020 AUDIO AS INCOMING SpaceX, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's private rocket company, was forced by foul weather to scrub a planned launch on Wednesday (May 27) of two Americans into orbit from Florida, a mission that would mark the first spaceflight of NASA astronauts from U.S. soil in nine years. The countdown was halted less than 17 minutes before the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was due to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center, propelling Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken on a 19-hour ride aboard the company's newly designed Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station. The next launch window is set for Saturday (May 30) afternoon, when SpaceX will make a second attempt to send the astronauts into orbit.

打ち上げ予定だった5月27日にケネディ宇宙センターの施設内を公開＝アメリカ

NASA gave a behind-the-scenes look at systems and operations at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in a livestream on Wednesday, May 27, a few hours before SpaceX was due to launch a manned crew aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft. Wednesday’s launch will send NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on a test flight aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon as part of the Commercial Crew Program — “a partnership to develop and fly human space transportation systems,” according to NASA. The Commercial Crew Program is a partnership between NASA and the United States-based commercial aerospace companies Boeing and SpaceX. The goal of the Crew Dragon flight, also known as “Demo-2,” is to “fully demonstrate SpaceX’s ability to fly astronauts safely to and from the International Space Station,” NASA said. Wednesday’s launch will be the first manned launch from United States territory since 2011, when NASA’s shuttle program was discontinued, NASA said.
