☆ NASA’s Boeing Starliner test flight astronauts discuss spacecraft problems
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

CNN —Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft and its crew have been in space for more than a month — much longer than the weeklong stay initially expected. But the two astronauts piloting this historic test mission mostly spoke favorably about the vehicle that carried them to the International Space Station, marking the inaugural crewed flight of the Boeing-built spacecraft. I mean, truly amazing,” Butch Wilmore, one of two NASA astronauts helming this mission, said in a Wednesday news briefing. The pump’s failure “put us in a position where we’d have to store an awful lot of urine,” said Dana Weigel, manager for NASA’s International Space Station Program, before the flight. SpaceX designed its cargo Dragon spacecraft years before its Crew Dragon capsule, while Boeing somewhat started from scratch with Starliner.

☆ Boeing Starliner: Two astronauts wait to come home amid spacecraft issues

Spaceflight veterans Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore arrived at the space station aboard the Starliner on June 6. It’s not uncommon for astronauts to unexpectedly extend their stay aboard the space station — for days, weeks or even months. But the situation makes for a moment of uncertainty and embarrassment that joins a long list of similar blunders by the Boeing Starliner program, which is already years behind schedule. The Starliner spacecraft on NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test is pictured docked to the Harmony module's forward port on June 13 as the International Space Station orbited 262 miles above Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The first Starliner test mission, flown without crew in late 2019, was riddled with missteps.

☆ Boeing’s Starliner set for historic astronaut launch after delays for years

CNN —After years of delays and a dizzying array of setbacks during test flights, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is finally set to make its inaugural crewed launch. “This is history in the making,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said of the upcoming Starliner mission during a March 22 news conference. Missteps riddled a Starliner test flight the prior year, leaving NASA and Boeing officials scrambling to figure out what went wrong. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has been flying routine trips ever since, carrying NASA astronauts and even paying customers and tourists. On May’s inaugural crewed flight, Boeing will instead use a “perfectly acceptable mitigation” that should prevent the valves from sticking, Nappi said in March.

The NFL has a host of candidates that can lay claim to this title, but Patrick Mahomes is already making his case, just seven seasons into his NFL career. This was supposed to be the year where a few cracks might be appearing in the Chiefs dynasty, but we have been taught to never bet against the Kansas City quarterback. “He has become an international star, but he’s also elevated Kansas City alongside him,” Nate Taylor, Chiefs writer for The Athletic, told CNN Sport. Kansas City has a new international airport, it’s very nice.

A recent report in the Wall Street Journal that Elon Musk uses ketamine at parties could prompt an investigation into his security clearance, two attorneys who specialize in national security law told Insider. Drug use is typically grounds for the government to yank someone's security clearance, the two national security attorneys told Insider. Security clearance applicants are specifically required to disclose whether they have used ketamine on SF-86, the standard application form used to apply for a clearance. Edmunds, the security clearance attorney, said that in his experience, there is a "very prevalent" double standard for security clearance infractions, wherein defense contracting executives and higher-ranking government officials receive more permissive treatment than their subordinates. Musk boosts the benefits of drug useAfter the Rogan incident, Musk told "60 Minutes" that he didn't regularly smoke pot.

☆ I trained SpaceX astronauts for a NASA mission. Being responsible for their safety was stressful, but preparing my friends for space was an honor.

She told Insider she trained the NASA astronauts for SpaceX's first crewed mission to the ISS. I've been passionate about sending humans into space since I was eight years old, so becoming a mission operations engineer at SpaceX in 2009 was a lifetime achievement for me. Out of the 20 employees in the mission operations team, I was the only trainer. NASA selected SpaceX as one of the partners for the program, and six years later, SpaceX sent its first crewed mission to the ISS. Two NASA astronauts, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, launched on the Crew Dragon spaceship — and I had the privilege of training them for the flight.

A treia misiune SpaceX cu echipaj uman a fost lansată cu succes către Stația Spațială InternaționalăCapsula Crew Dragon „Endeavour” a companiei SpaceX a decolat cu succes, vineri dimineața, de la centrul spațial al NASA din Florida, având la bord patru astronauți din trei țări pe care îi va duce pe Stația Spațială Internațională pentru o misiune de șase luni. Lansarea rachetei Falcon-9, salutată prin aplauzele inginerilor din centrul de control al companiei SpaceX, a avut loc la ora locală 5.49. Racheta Flacon 9 lansată acum din Florida a făcut același drum în noiembrie, iar capsula a fost folosită la prima misiune SpaceX cu echipaj uman, în luna mai a anului trecut. Această capsulă Crew Dragon a SpaceX a fost botezată „Endeavour” de cei doi astronauți transportați atunci, Robert Behnken și Douglas Hurley. O a doua misiune a SpaceX , transportând un prim echipaj complet de patru astronauţi către ISS, a avut loc în noiembrie 2020.

☆ Capsula Crew Dragon, cu patru astronauţi la bord, a andocat la Staţia Spaţială Internaţională

''Trapa dintre Crew Dragon şi staţia spaţială se va deschide după egalizarea presiunii între cele două vehicule'', a precizat Agenţia spaţială americană NASA într-un comunicat. Capsula a andocat luni, la ora 11:01 PM (04:01 GMT, marţi), la doar 24 de ore de la lansarea de la Centrului Spaţial Kennedy în Florida. NASA speră ca lansarea să marcheze începutul unei serii de zboruri regulate către staţia spaţială de la baze de lansare din Statele Unite. Este al doilea zbor cu echipaj uman asigurat de SpaceX după lansarea istorică a astronauţilor Bob Behnken şi Doug Hurley în luna mai la bordul unei nave spaţiale Crew Dragon, aminteşte DPA. Misiunea Crew-1 a devenit prima care a utilizat modulul certificat Crew Dragon şi racheta Falcon 9 operate de SpaceX.

Capsula Crew Dragon a companiei SpaceX a andocat la Staţia Spaţială Internaţională (ISS), punând astfel capăt perioadei de nouă ani în care transportul astronauţilor în spaţiu a depins de rachetele ruseşti. Este al doilea zbor cu echipaj uman asigurat de SpaceX după lansarea istorică a astronauţilor Bob Behnken şi Doug Hurley în luna mai la bordul unei nave spaţiale Crew Dragon, aminteşte DPA. Misiunea lor Demo-2 a reprezentat prima lansare din Statele Unite în aproape un deceniu şi prima dată când o firmă privată, mai degrabă decât o agenţie spaţială guvernamentală, a trimis oameni pe orbită. Misiunea Crew-1 a devenit prima care a utilizat modulul certificat Crew Dragon şi racheta Falcon 9 operate de SpaceX. La bordul capsulei Crew Dragon s-au aflat astronauţii NASA Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover şi Shannon Walker, alături de Soichi Noguchi, de la agenţia spaţială japoneză JAXA, care îşi încep misiunea de şase luni la bordul ISS.

Israel va trimite un astronaut în spaţiu anul viitor, pentru a doua oară în istoria ţării, au anunţat luni autorităţile israeliene, relatează Xinhua, citat de agerpres.ro. Stibbe va petrece aproximativ 200 de ore în spaţiu pentru a efectua o serie de experimente ştiinţifice şi medicale proiectate de cercetători israelieni. Cu aproximativ trei luni înainte de zbor, el va începe o serie de antrenamente intensive în Statele Unite, Germania şi Rusia. Primul astronaut al Israelului, Ilan Ramon, şi-a pierdut viaţa într-un accident survenit la reintrarea navetei spaţiale Columbia în atmosfera terestră, în 2003. O rachetă a SpaceX a decolat duminică de la centrul spaţial Kennedy din Florida cu patru astronauţi la bord, spre Staţia Spaţială Internaţională (ISS).
