Scienza e hardware della NASA in rotta verso la Stazione Spaziale
Dalla NASA2 agosto 2023
Il razzo Antares di Northrop Grumman ha lanciato la navicella spaziale SS Laurel Clark Cygnus il 1° agosto da Wallops Island, in Virginia, per la consegna del carico all'equipaggio a bordo della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale. Credito: Northrop Grumman
The Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft, carrying over 8,200 pounds of science investigations and cargo, is en route to the International Space StationThe International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft in orbit around the Earth that serves as a research laboratory and spaceport for international collaboration in space exploration. It was launched in 1998 and has been continuously occupied by rotating crews of astronauts and cosmonauts from around the world since 2000. The ISS is a joint project of five space agencies: NASA (USA), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). It orbits the Earth at an altitude of approximately 400 kilometers (250 miles), and provides a unique platform for scientific research, technological development, and human space exploration." data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">International Space Station (ISS) after launching from NASAEstablished in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government that succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). It is responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Its vision is "To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity." Its core values are "safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion." NASA conducts research, develops technology and launches missions to explore and study Earth, the solar system, and the universe beyond. It also works to advance the state of knowledge in a wide range of scientific fields, including Earth and space science, planetary science, astrophysics, and heliophysics, and it collaborates with private companies and international partners to achieve its goals." data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">La struttura di volo Wallops della NASA in Virginia.
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station with more than 8,200 pounds of science investigations and cargo after launching at 8:31 p.m. EDTEDT is an abbreviation for Eastern Daylight Time, the time zone for the eastern coast of the United States and Canada when observing daylight saving time (spring/summer). It is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, and the Kennedy Space Center are in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)." data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">EDT (17:31 PDT) martedì 1 agosto, dalla Wallops Flight Facility della NASA in Virginia.
La NASA Television, l'app della NASA e il sito web dell'agenzia forniranno una copertura in diretta dell'incontro della navicella spaziale con la stazione spaziale a partire dalle 4:30 di venerdì 4 agosto.
Una navicella spaziale di rifornimento Northrop Grumman Cygnus è in viaggio verso la Stazione Spaziale Internazionale con oltre 8.200 libbre di indagini scientifiche e carichi della NASA dopo il lancio alle 20:31 EDT di martedì dalla Wallops Flight Facility dell'agenzia in Virginia. Credito: NASA
È prevista la cattura di Cygnus da parte del braccio robotico Canadarm2 alle 5:55, che sarà gestito dall'astronauta della NASA Woody Hoburg con l'assistenza dell'astronauta della NASA Frank Rubio.
La copertura dell'installazione riprenderà alle 7:30. Guarda tutti gli eventi su: https://www.nasa.gov/live
Il diciannovesimo volo cargo di Northrop Grumman verso la stazione spaziale è l'ottavo nell'ambito del contratto Commercial Resupply Services 2 con la NASA. La navicella spaziale Cygnus è stata lanciata sul razzo Antares 230+ della compagnia dal Pad-0A dello spazioporto regionale del Medio Atlantico sull'isola di Wallops.
These are just a sample of the hundreds of investigations conducted aboard the orbiting laboratory in the areas of biology and biotechnology, physical sciences, and Earth and space science. Such research benefits humanity and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to MarsMars is the second smallest planet in our solar system and the fourth planet from the sun. It is a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. Iron oxide is prevalent in Mars' surface resulting in its reddish color and its nickname "The Red Planet." Mars' name comes from the Roman god of war." data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]"Mars./p>
