** Northrop Grumman 11 Cygnus Release August 06, 2019

An unpiloted Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo spacecraft departed the International Space Station August 6, bound for several months of free-flying scientific investigation support before it is deorbited later this year. Expedition 60 Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch of NASA used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to release Cygnus after it was unberthed from the Earth-facing port of the Unity module by robotic flight controllers following more than three months attached to the orbital outpost. Cygnus is being used as a platform to deploy a number of small nanosatellites during its extended stay in orbit. The vehicle is scheduled to be deorbited in December to burn up harmlessly in Earth’s atmosphere.

** Spacecast Weekly – August 9, 2019

SpaceCast Weekly is a NASA Television broadcast from the Johnson Space Center in Houston featuring stories about NASA’s work in human spaceflight, including the International Space Station and its crews and scientific research activities, and the development of Orion and the Space Launch System, the next generation American spacecraft being built to take humans farther into space than they’ve ever gone before.

** Space Grown Crystals Offer Clarity on Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease affects more than 5 million people on Earth. Research on the International Space Station could provide insight into this chronic neurodegenerative disease and help scientists find ways to treat and prevent it. In this video, NASA astronaut Serena Auñon-Chancellor narrates as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Alexander Gerst uses a microscope to examine and photograph the LRRK2 crystals.

** Expedition 60 crewmembers talks with The Weather Channel

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Nick Hague of NASA and newly arrived crew member Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency discussed life in space aboard the orbital outpost and their view of meteorological phenomena from 254 miles above Earth during an in-flight interview July 31 with the Weather Channel. The two crewmembers are in various stages of long-duration missions on the complex.

** Progress 73 Arrives to the ISS

Traveling about 259 miles over China, the unpiloted Russian Progress 73 cargo ship docked at 11:29 a.m. EDT to the Pirs docking compartment on the Russian segment of the International Space Station.
