Videos: Space habitat reports – Dec.1.2023 | Space-for-All at HobbySpace

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

** 25 Years of the International Space Station – NASA Johnson

Low-Earth Orbit has been home to the International Space Station for 25 years. Hear from the people helping make history daily with the laboratory and from some of those who made it possible from the start!

** ISS@25: Opportunities – NASA Johnson

Microgravity gives researchers the chance to learn how humans, machines, and materials react to months-long stays. It jumpstarts medical research, proves material strength, and generates new markets for items that can only be made in orbit.

** ISS@25: Unique Laboratory – NASA Johnson

It took a lot of creative energy and careful engineering to create a spacecraft that is now the brightest human-made object in the sky. Although they never met on Earth, the modules of the space station fit perfectly together when they met in space.

** Space Station Crew Talks with Fox Weather, WCBS Newsradio 880, New York – NASA Video

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli of NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andy Mogensen discussed life and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview Dec. 1 with Fox Weather and WCBS News Radio in New York. Moghbeli and Mogensen are in the midst of a long-duration mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth 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 Mars.

** Ax-3 Mission | Science on the Mission – Axiom Space

Axiom Space held a virtual press conference with leaders from the Italian Air Force, Italian Space Agency, TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBİTAK UZAY), Turkish Space Agency (TUA), European Space Agency (ESA), and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) to discuss the scientific experiments, microgravity research, and technology demonstrations that will be a part of Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3).

Unique to this mission, there is a strong focus on scientific portfolios led by European countries flying on the Ax-3 mission, to include Italy, Türkiye, and Sweden in partnership with ESA. The Ax-3 crewmembers will represent their nations in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and perform scientific experiments, microgravity research, and demonstrations that are of high national importance. Commercial and academic partnership activities also remain a strong focus for the Ax-3 mission, as Axiom Space leads in building a global research community and robust and sustainable economic ecosystem in LEO.

Participants include:
Dr. Lucie Low, Chief Scientist, Axiom Space
Jana Stoudemire, Director of In-Space Manufacturing, Axiom Space
Col. Domenico Antonacci, Space Policy and Operations Office, Italian Air Force
Dr. Barbara Negri, Head of Human Flight and Scientific Experimentation Unit, Italian Space Agency
Ömer ATAŞ, Project Manager/Chief Engineer, TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute
Hasan Ersel Gürel, Physicist, Turkish Space Agency (TUA)
Dr. Kristine Dannenberg, Head of Space Exploration and Access to Space, Swedish National Space Agency
Dr. Julia Weis, ISS Utilization Planning and Integration Team Lead, European Space Agency

** Video Records Relaxing, Enjoyable Life of Shenzhou-17 Crew in Space – CCTV Video News Agency

The three Chinese astronauts aboard the country’s space station Tiangong are having a relaxing and enjoyable life apart from routine work.

NASA EHDC6 Live views of the Earth from the International Space Station

** 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
