WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- The International Space Station is now home to a 3-D printer, after NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore spent most of Monday unpacking and installing the machine. He and his colleagues will soon begin experimenting with additive manufacturing in microgravity.
The printer was engineered by the California-based company Made In Space and delivered to the space station in late September, but its installation had to be put off while astronauts wrapped up a few time-sensitive experiments.
If the new printer works properly in space, it could help ISS astronauts become more self-sufficient -- allowing them to design and print their own tools and gadgets right on board instead of waiting for another resupply cargo ship to be launched from Earth.
To ensure the printer is unaffected by microgravity, astronauts will begin by printing a pair of "engineering coupons." The coupons will be sent back to mission control where they'll be compared to coupons that were printed before the machine was packaged and shipped into outer space.
"This is a very exciting day for me and the rest of the team. We had to conquer many technical challenges to get the 3D printer to this stage," Made In Space lead engineer Mike Snyder said in a company press release. "This experiment has been an advantageous first stepping stone to the future ability to manufacture a large portion of materials and equipment in space that has been traditionally launched from Earth surface, which will completely change our methods of exploration."
Snyder and his colleagues are confident in their work and expect the machine to perform as advertised.
"We have really high expectations for it printing," Jason Dunn, the company's chief technology officer, said in an interview earlier this year. "We've done all the zero gravity research we could on the airplane. (But) there's always the things we can't test that you can only do once you're up there."

Astronauts aboard the ISS will soon be experimenting with additive manufacturing in microgravity, with the installation of the very first 3D printer in space.
Commander Barry Wilmore unpacked and installed the printer, built by Made in Space and about the size of a small microwave oven, in the Microgravity Science Glovebox on board the space station's Destiny module, over the course of Monday, November 17.
This is the next step towards self-sufficiency for the ISS: a 3D printer capable of operating in microgravity would be able to help the astronauts manufacture their own components and tools, right there on the station.
The 3D printer installed in the MSG isn't quite that printer yet -- the astronauts will be using it to test how well 3D printing works in microgravity, and whether the objects printed will be as accurate as those printed on Earth. The printer will use a relatively low-temperature plastic feedstock, while the MSG will keep the astronauts safe from any potential malfunctions.
The first phase of printing will include a series of engineering test coupons. These will be sent back to Earth to be compared with control samples made by the same printer while it was at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, before being sent up to the ISS.
"This is a very exciting day for me and the rest of the team. We had to conquer many technical challenges to get the 3D printer to this stage," said Made in Space lead engineer Mike Snyder. "This experiment has been an advantageous first stepping stone to the future ability to manufacture a large portion of materials and equipment in space that has been traditionally launched from Earth surface, which will completely change our methods of exploration."
Commander Wilmore also performed the first critical system checks on the printer to make sure that it is operating as it should. Hardware and software are both in full operating condition.

Barely two months after being launched to the International Space Station (ISS), NASAs first science payload aimed at conducting Earth science from the stations exterior has started its ocean wind monitoring operations two months ahead of schedule.
Data from the ISS Rapid Scatterometer, or ISS-RapidScat, payload is now available to the worlds weather and marine forecasting agencies following the successful completion of check out and calibration activities by the mission team.
Indeed it was already producing high quality, usable data following its power-on and activation at the station in late September and has monitored recent tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans prior to the end of the current hurricane season.
RapidScat is designed to monitor ocean winds for climate research, weather predictions, and hurricane monitoring for a minimum mission duration of two years.
RapidScat is a short mission by NASA standards, said RapidScat Project Scientist Ernesto Rodriguez of JPL.
Its data will be ready to help support U.S. weather forecasting needs during the tail end of the 2014 hurricane season. The dissemination of these data to the international operational weather and marine forecasting communities ensures that RapidScats benefits will be felt throughout the world.

The 1280 pound (580kilogram) experimental instrument was developed by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Its a cost-effective replacement to NASAs former QuikScat satellite.
The $26 million remote sensing instrument uses radar pulses reflected from the oceans surface at different angles to calculate the speed and direction of winds over the ocean for the improvement of weather and marine forecasting and hurricane monitoring.

Russia will deploy its own orbital space station in 2017, using parts of modules originally destined for the International Space Station (ISS), according to Kommersant, a Russian daily newspaper.
The latest development follows an announcement by the countrys deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin earlier this year that Russia would not use the ISS after 2020, Sputnik reported, citing the Kommersant report, which cited a source close to the Central Research Institute of Machine Building, which is administrated by the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos).
The new station will be located in a geometrically favorable location with the possibility of an extended field of view of the Earth's surface, the source told Kommersant. As much as 90 percent of Russia's territory and the Arctic offshore area will be visible from the new space station, while the ISS field of view covers not more than 5 percent of the region.
According to the Kommersant report, one of the principal tasks of the space station will be to test spacecraft bound for the moon. The spacecraft would be first delivered to the space station, before an attempt to reach the moon.
The newspaper said that the project's costs are as yet uncertain, but added, citing sources, that modules and devices developed for the Russian segment of the ISS would initially be used for the project, helping Moscow avoid additional costs.
In May, Rogozin announced that Russia would deny use of the ISS' Russian segment to the U.S. after 2020, and ban the use of Russian-made rocket engines for launching U.S. military satellites, in an apparent response to American sanctions imposed on Russia over the crisis in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian segment can exist independently from the American one. The U.S. one cannot, Rogozin said at the time. After 2020, we would like to divert these funds [used for ISS] to more promising space projects.

Russia is said to be planning to set up its own orbital space station in 2017 which would allow Moscow to have an edge over the International Space Station (ISS).
Moscow earlier announced that it would not be using the ISS after 2020.
The Russian daily Kommersant quoted a space engineering source as saying: "The new station will be located geometrically more advantageous, allowing an extended field of view of the earth's surface. As much as 90 percent of Russia's territory and the Arctic offshore are will be visible from the station."
The source added that only 5% of the region is presently visible from the ISS.
As part of the mission, a manned spacecraft would be dispatched to the lunar infrastructure which would first reach the station and eventually the moon.
"In fact, we are talking about the creation of a bridgehead first vehicles will be delivered to the station, and then to the moon," said the source.
The initial deployment for the new space station would involve the modules and devices stationed by the Russian side in the ISS as Moscow withdraws its resources.
The cost of the mission has not been estimated as yet, but Russian officials have hinted at an early exit from the ISS.
Amidst the West-Russia political tensions, Russia had announced in May 2014 that it would not allow the US to use the Russian segment of the ISS after 2020 and placed a ban on Russia-made rocket engines for American military satellites.

Russia to Set up Own Orbital Space Station to Gain Edge Over ISS
November 17, 2014 - 10:27 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia will start deploying its own orbital space station in 2017, using part of the modules constructed for the International Space Station (ISS), Kommersant newspaper reported Monday, Nov 17, citing a space engineering source.
"The new station will be located geometrically more advantageous, allowing an extended field of view of the Earth's surface. As much as 90 percent of Russia's territory and the Arctic offshore area will be visible from the station," the source said, noting that the ISS' field of view covers no more than 5 percent of the region.
Testing of piloted spacecraft for the lunar infrastructure will be one of the projected station's principal tasks, the source said. Spacecraft will first be delivered to the station, and then continue to the Moon, according to Sputnik.
The newspaper's source added that the project's costs have not been estimated yet. At the initial stage, it will use modules and spacecraft developed for the Russian Orbital Segment of the ISS. However, early winding up of works at the ISS is not planned, according to the source.
In May, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin announced that Moscow was not planning to use the International Space Station after 2020 and would instead re-focus its funding on more promising new space projects.
