Videos: Space habitat reports – Nov.24.2023

This week’s selection of videos about space stations and living in space including NASA’s latest two Space to Ground reports for the International Space Station:

** Thanksgiving Message from the International Space Station – NASA Johnson

Aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara along with ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa shared their thoughts about spending Thanksgiving in space and some of the foods they plan to enjoy while in orbit.

** ISS@25: Accomplishments – NASA Johnson

“Spaceflight is a team sport,” astronaut Josh Cassada says as he joins Space Station Researcher Gioia Massa and Space Station Deputy Program Manager Dana Weigel in highlighting some of the ways the orbiting laboratory helps NASA advance technology and improve life on Earth.

** ISS@25: History Every Day – NASA Johnson

Years of accomplishments, one day at a time. From medicinal testing to climate study and systems maintenance, every day of advancement adds up to years of groundbreaking achievements.

** Expedition 70 Astronaut Talks with Students, Celebrates Danish Comics Character – Nov. 22, 2023 – NASA Video

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Andy Mogensen of ESA (European Space Agency) discussed living and working in space as part of a celebration honoring comic book character Rasmus Klump during an in-flight interview Nov. 22. Mogensen is in the midst of a long-duration mission on the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions.

** See China’s Shenzhou 17 crew eat, work and look at Earth from the Tiangong space station – VideoFromSpace

The Shenzhou 17 crew, Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin, have been keeping busy with experiments, Earth photography and more. Catch a glimpse of their activities aboard the Tiangong space station.

** Mission Overview: Haven-1 and Vast-1 – VAST

Haven-1 is scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station. Launching no earlier than August 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, Haven-1 will be capable of sustained microgravity and testing limited duration, artificial gravity operations. Haven-1 will provide unprecedented access to low-Earth orbit (LEO) for both crew and payloads.

** Live Video from the International Space Station (Official NASA Stream) – NASA

Watch live video from the International Space Station, including inside views when the crew aboard the space station is on duty. Views of Earth are also streamed from an external camera located outside of the space station. During periods of signal loss due to handover between communications satellites, a blue screen is displayed.

The space station orbits Earth about 250 miles (425 kilometers) above the surface. An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the station, and it has been continuously occupied since November 2000. It’s a microgravity laboratory where science, research, and human innovation make way for new technologies and research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3CkVtC8

Did you know you can spot the station without a telescope? It looks like a fast-moving star, but you have to know when to look up. Sign up for text messages or email alerts to let you know when (and where) to spot the station and wave to the crew: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov
