Crew moved Russian Soyuz spacecraft to different port.

The Soyuz rocket successfully docked the MS-13 spacecraft with three expedition 60 members, for the space station's Poisk module.Transfer to MS-13 spacecraft was done at 11:59 pm, successful transfer! At 11:59 pm ET, the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft docked the Poisk module from Space_Station, and a second docking effort was carried out on Monday night.

The crew of Alexander Skovartsov of Roscosmos, Luca Permitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA's Andrew Morgan from the aft port of the station's Zvezda module are then unloaded at 11:35 pm.

Skvortsov flew on the spacecraft from a distance of about 124 feet (38 m) from the space dock. The move freed the port for an undisclosed Soyuz MS-14, which is currently on a secure documentary above and behind the space station, a second docking attempt was made on Monday night to execute on the Zvezda port , And the so-called KURS automated approximation system has been tested. And the correct work is in order.

NASA TV coverage of docking began at 10:30 pm Monday night, with a docking schedule at 11:12 pm.The Baikonur Cosmodrome was launched from Kazakhstan on August 21, Wednesday, and the Sonaise was launched with a modified Soyuz booster rocket.

This Expedition will deliver 1,450 pounds of cargo to the 60's crew. z The last transfer of the Soyuz The Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft was flown in August 2015, it was the last transfer of the Soyuz, and the same operation by Roskosmos and Mikhail Kourinko and NASA's Scott Kelly.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
