Supply Mission to Station on This Week @ NASA
The European Space Agency has successfully launched its third Automated Transfer Vehicle. The cargo ferry, named Edoardo Amaldi for the Italian physicist and spaceflight pioneer, was sent on its way to the International Space Station atop an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The ATV brings essential supplies and propellant to the ISS, as well as the ability to re-boost the station’s altitude. ATV Edoardo Amaldi follows the two highly successful supply missions carried out by ATV Jules Verne in March 2008 and ATV Johannes Kepler in February of last year. Also, members of the International Space Station’s Expedition 32 crew discuss their upcoming mission aboard the orbiting laboratory with the media, Engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center test fire a scaled down solid rocket booster for NASA’s Space Launch System, or SLS, the 100th anniversary of the birth of a space pioneer and more!
First hehe. NASA rules!!! 🙂
I saw angry bird toy on some shuttle launch video (in cockpit), but wasn't aware that there was so much collaboration with NASA and the company that made the game.
those pictures of los vegas were neat
Space elevator is needed.
Good to see Jesco. I really want to see more of him. His stories are always interesting. He's been there and seen it all and gives an honest opinion about everything. Go kick some butt Jesco, tell them to build a huge rocket in a decade.
