Videos: “Space to Ground” & other space habitat reports – June.10.2022

Here is the latest episode in NASA’s Space to Ground weekly report on activities related to the International Space Station:

** Astronaut Discusses Life Aboard Space Station During Investing in Space ConferenceNASA Video

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 67 Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency) discussed living and working in space during an in-flight interview for the Financial Times of London “Investing in Space” conference June 9. Cristoforetti launched in April on the SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom for a long duration science mission to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions.

** Adapt | Down to Earth – S2:E4 NASA Johnson

This week on Down to Earth: Conversations, former NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and astronaut Warren “Woody” Hoburg explore what it’s like to adapt to life on station.

** Going Outside: Exploring the Future NASA Johnson

What will it take to get humanity further into the cosmos… the suits they wear, of course! From the surface of the Moon to the Space Station, American astronauts have been suiting up to explore for over fifty years. With Mars on the horizon, the next generation of spacesuits will propel us to a new future of learning, exploration, and discovery. https://www.nasa.gov/suitup

** China’s Shenzhou-14 crew launches to Tiangong space stationVideoFromSpace

A Chinese Long March 2F rocket launched astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe to the Tiangong space station On June 4, 2022. Full Story: https://www.space.com/china-shenzhou-…

Chinese astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe entered the Tiangong space station on June 5, 2022 shortly after docking.

** ISS Live video stream – IBM/ISS HD Earth Viewing Experiment

Currently, live views from the ISS are streaming from an external camera mounted on the ISS module called Node 2. Node 2 is located on the forward part of the ISS. The camera is looking forward at an angle so that the International Docking Adapter 2 (IDA2) is visible. If the Node 2 camera is not available due to operational considerations for a longer period of time, a continuous loop of recorded HDEV imagery will be displayed. The loop will have “Previously Recorded” on the image to distinguish it from the live stream from the Node 2 camera. After HDEV stopped sending any data on July 18, 2019, it was declared, on August 22, 2019, to have reached its end of life. Thank You to all who shared in experiencing and using the HDEV views of Earth from the ISS to make HDEV so much more than a Technology Demonstration Payload!

Night sky highlights for June 2022

** What’s Up: June 2022 Skywatching Tips from NASA – NASA JPL

What are some skywatching highlights in June 2022? The morning quartet of Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars continues to shine, though they will spread farther apart over the next couple of months. Globular cluster M13, aka the Hercules Cluster, is best observed with a telescope, but binoculars will reveal it as a fuzzy spot. And the constellation Lyra is easily located thanks to its brightest star, Vega.

0:00 Intro
0:11 Morning planets spread out
0:44 Globular Cluster M13
2:20 Find the Constellation Lyra
3:42 June Moon phases

Additional information about topics covered in this episode of What’s Up, along with still images from the video, and the video transcript, are available at https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatch….

** Tonight’s Sky: June Space Telescope Science InstituteTonight’s Sky

Though the nights are shorter in June, they are filled with fine sights. Look for the Hercules constellation, which will lead you to a globular star cluster with hundreds of thousands of densely packed stars. You can also spot Draco the dragon, which will point you to the Cat’s Eye Nebula. Keep watching for space-based views of globular star clusters and the nebula.

About this Series: “Tonight’s Sky” is a monthly video of constellations you can observe in the night sky. The series is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, in partnership with NASA’s Universe of Learning. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes—and other astronomy videos—at TONIGHT’S SKY
