One of the most recognizable features of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is its large, segmented, gold-coated mirror, which delivers images twice as sharp as pre-launch estimates. Aperture masking interferometry is an observational technique that allows for high-angular resolution imaging of celestial objects. The basic principle involves placing a specially designed mask with several small […]
Spacewalk preparations and health research awaited the Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station at the beginning of August. The next crew to visit the orbital outpost, SpaceX Crew-13, introduced themselves today during a news conference from Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Expedition 75 is gearing up for a busy August with three spacewalks planned at the International Space Station. The orbital residents are also printing living cells and tissues and studying how to increase the effectiveness of exercising in space.
Futuristic workouts, eye exams, and virtual reality led the research schedule for the Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. Spacewalk training and lab maintenance filled the rest of the shift for the seven orbital residents.
The seven-member Expedition 75 crew worked throughout Tuesday on spacesuit checks, eye exams, and exercise research aboard the International Space Station. Earth imagery and lab inventory duties rounded out the day for the orbital residents.
Over the weekend, Katalyst’s LINK servicing spacecraft experienced issues with attitude control.
Technicians completed fueling NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, bringing it an important step closer to launch. On July 25, the team completed operations that carefully loaded 290 gallons of hydrazine fuel into the observatory at the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. After launch and separation from the rocket, […]
