These are images taken by Astronauts on the International Space Station. These are amazing UFO photos as they are You can find the image files here. eol.jsc.nasa.gov This is probably my favorite photo eol.jsc.nasa.gov it shows a UFO floating above the earth. The end photo made me speechless and I just might do a video based on just that image. This is some real UFO #39;s and the photos are from a government website which is amazing! I was informed that these photos are of an object known as the black knight satellite. Other explanations include that its a probe from an alien ship. Some have said that it changed course to avoid a rocket and others say that it will land on Earth in 2016. What is this mysterious object?

Sunita Williams on the International Space Station OR4ISS - Video

This story was updated at 3:25 p.m. EDT.

NASA's first commercial cargo flight ended with a splash today (Oct. 28), when the SpaceX Dragon capsule landed after a landmark mission to the International Space Station.

The unmanned Dragon space capsule, built by the U.S. company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), splashed down into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California at 3:22 p.m. EDT (1922 GMT), ending a three-week visit to the orbiting laboratory.

Dragon began its descent with a de-orbit burn at 2:28 p.m. EDT (1828 GMT), after departing the station at 9:29 a.m. EDT (1329 GMT) as both spacecraft sailed 255 miles (410 kilometers) above Burma. The station's crew used the outpost's robotic arm to release the spacecraft.

"It was nice while she was on board. We tamed her [and] took her home," space station commander Sunita Williams of NASA radioed Mission Control in Houston as the Dragon capsule departed. "Literally and figuratively, there are pieces of us on that spacecraft going home to Earth."

The Dragon capsule is returning hundreds ofastronaut blood and urine samples from the space station amid the 1,673 pounds (758 kilograms) of experiments and gear loaded on board. Some of those samples have been waiting for more than a year. NASA's final space shuttle mission landed in July 2011, leaving the agency without a way to return big cargo deliveries to Earth until Dragon's flight. [Photos: Dragon's 1st Space Cargo Delivery]

The spacecraft is expected to be retrieved by a SpaceX recovery crew so the cargo can be delivered to NASA. The mission is the first of 12 commercial resupply flights by SpaceX under a $1.6 billion deal with NASA.

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX (short for Space Exploration Technologies) launched the Dragon capsule toward the space station on Oct. 7 using one of the company's own Falcon 9 rockets and a pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The capsule was packed with 882 pounds (400 kg) of supplies to for the station, including 260 pounds (117 kg) of crew gear, 390 pounds (176 kg) of scientific equipment, 225 pounds (102 kg) of hardware and several pounds of other cargo, NASA officials said.

The cargo returning home on Dragon are 163 pounds (74 kg) of crew supplies, 866 pounds (392 kg) of scientific research and 518 pounds (235 kg) of other hardware, they added.

SpaceX is the first robotic spacecraft ever to be capable of returning cargo to Earth.

Private SpaceX Capsule Lands After Historic Mission to Space Station

Galactic tourism may still be a daydream for most of us, but for anyone interested in a glimpse of the International Space Station sooner, NASA is ready to help.

The US space agency, celebrating the 12th anniversary of astronauts living and working on the orbiting lab, launched a new service Friday that alerts people when the space station is visible from their back yard.

Those who sign up will get an email or a text message with a few hours warning.

Then, when the moment is right, NASA said, you just go outside and look up -- no fancy equipment required.

"It's really remarkable to see the space station fly overhead and to realize humans built an orbital complex that can be spotted from Earth by almost anyone looking up at just the right moment," William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for human exploration and operations, said in a statement.

The space station is typically visible right at dawn or dusk, when the moon is the only brighter object visible in the night sky, NASA said.

It looks like a fast moving point of light, similar to Venus.

"Spot the Station" service is available worldwide, the agency said, adding the station's trajectory carries it over more than 90 percent of the Earth's population.

The International Space Station (ISS) officially opened for business twelve years ago today, marking a milestone in international efforts to expand life beyond Earth.

Bill Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev (Expedition 1) made history on November 2, 2000 when their Russian Soyuz capsule docked with the orbiting lab, making them the first crew to live and work on the space station.

From the moment the crew entered the space station, there have been people living and working in orbit ever since. The crew has been operational inside the laboratory now for 4,383 days, and counting.

The space station is a collaborative effort of five space agencies, representing 15 nations. Construction on the station first began in November, 1998, when the Zarya module was delivered.

Like satellites, the orbiting laboratory can be spotted in the night sky, without the use of any specialized equipment.

Over the past 12 years, the station has seen many records broken, including the record of being continuously occupied. Russias Mir space station held the previous record after it had been in operation for 10 years.

Sergei Krikalev holds the record for the most time spent in space, lasting a total of 803 days and 9 hours and 39 minutes. Commander Michael Fincke is the U.S. space endurance record holder, with a total of 382 days.

The space station has also hosted the first space tourists, which are people who pay their own way to get into space. So far, the ISS has hosted seven space tourists, reaching the station via Russias Soyuz crafts.

Astronauts preparing for a six-and-a-half hour space walk to perform maintenance on the International Space Station warmed up for the task by dancing to Madonna #39;s Vogue. The mission saw station commander Sunita Williams and flight engineer Akihiko Hoshide attempt to bypass a coolant leak. Engineers think the leak could have been caused by a piece of space debris no wider than a human hair punching a hole in one of the station #39;s radiators. The astronauts reconfigured ammonia coolant pipes and hooked up a spare radiator - but it will be weeks before it is known if the problem has been solved.From:TodayHeadlinesViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:44More inNews Politics

ISS crew 'Vogue' before spacewalk - Video

A private Dragon spacecraft is headed back to Earth from the International Space Station Sunday (Oct. 28) to wrap up a landmark mission to the orbiting lab: the first commercial cargo flight for NASA.

The unmanned Dragon space capsule, built by the U.S. company SpaceX, was set free from the station by at 9:29 a.m. EDT (1329 GMT) as both spacecraft sailed 255 miles (410 kilometers) above Burma. The station's crew used the outpost's robotic arm to release the spacecraft.

"It was nice while she was on board. We tamed her [and] took her home," space station commander Sunita Williams of NASA radioed Mission Control in Houston as the Dragon capsule departed. "Literally and figuratively, there are pieces of us on that spacecraft going home to Earth."

The Dragon capsule is returning hundreds ofastronaut blood and urine samplesfrom the space station amid the 1,673 pounds (758 kilograms) of experiments and gear loaded on board. Some of those samples have been waiting for more than a year. NASA's final space shuttle mission landed in July 2011, leaving the agency without a way to return big cargo deliveries to Earth until Dragon's flight. [Photos: Dragon's 1st Space Cargo Delivery]

"Over the next few hours, Dragon will complete a series of engine burns that place the spacecraft on a final trajectory to re-enter the Earths atmosphere," SpaceX officials said in a mission update.

The spacecraft is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Southern California, at 3:20 p.m. EDT (1920 GMT) and be retrieved by a SpaceX recovery crew so the cargo can be delivered to NASA. The mission is the first of 12 commercial resupply flights by SpaceX under a $1.6 billion deal with NASA.

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX (short for Space Exploration Technologies) launched the Dragon capsule toward the space station on Oct. 7 using one of the company's own Falcon 9 rockets and a pad at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Mission. The capsule was packed with 882 pounds (400 kg) of supplies to for the station, including 260 pounds (117 kg) of crew gear, 390 pounds (176 kg) of scientific equipment, 225 pounds (102 kg) of hardware and several pounds of other cargo, NASA officials said.

The cargo returning home on Dragon are 163 pounds (74 kg) of crew supplies, 866 pounds (392 kg) of scientific research and 518 pounds (235 kg) of vehicle hardware and other hardware, they added.

SpaceX is the first robotic spacecraft ever to be capable of returning cargo to Earth.

"It has been an historic mission," NASA spokesman Josh Byerly said during undocking commentary.

After a successful launch at 3:41 a.m. (local time) Wednesday morning from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Russias Progress 49 cargo vessel docked with the International Space Station (ISS) nearly six hours later, according to Mission Control.

Progress 49 docked automatically to the stations Zvezda service module at 9:33 a.m. on Halloween, carrying nearly 3 tons of supplies to Expedition 33 crew members. Supplies included water, food, fuel, technical equipment, as well as gifts for the astronauts. It was not clear if any of the gifts included candy to celebrate Halloween.

The P49 supply mission follows SpaceXs recent Dragon mission that successfully splashed down in the Pacific on October 28. The Dragon capsule delivered supplies to the ISS on its inaugural supply mission, the first of 12 contracted flights SpaceX has with NASA, reportedly worth $1.6 billion. SpaceXs next mission is scheduled for January 2013.

P49s docking utilized the abbreviated launch-to-rendezvous schedule, which was first used during Russias Progress 48 mission on August 1, 2012. The schedule is designed to reduce the typical two-day flight between launch and docking. Russian space officials are also evaluating this new approach for future manned Soyuz flights.

Flight engineers Oleg Novitskiy and Yuri Malenchenko monitored P49s rendezvous and docking procedure using the Russian telerobotically operated rendezvous system (TORU). Progress is designed to dock automatically via the Kurs automated rendezvous system, but the crew can use TORU to take over if technical issues arise.

The crew will conduct leak checks at the docking interface today (Nov. 1) and open the hatch to the supply vessel and begin the unloading procedure. Once the ship is emptied, it will be filled with trash and unneeded supplies and sent back to Earth in April 2013 for disposal.

In related Space Station news: Mission Control executed a debris avoidance maneuver Tuesday to ensure the ISS would not collide with a piece of space debris from the Iridium 33 satellite. The burn used Progress 48 thrusters to adjust the stations orbit to avoid the debris.

Russian Progress 49 Cargo Ship Docks With Space Station

This story was updated at 9:40 a.m. EDT.

A robotic Russian cargo spacecraft made a Halloween delivery today (Oct. 31) to the International Space Station.

The unmanned Progress 49 spacecraft blasted off from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome at 3:41 a.m. EDT (0741 GMT) today, carrying nearly 3 tons of supplies for the orbiting laboratory. It arrived roughly six hours later, docking at 9:33 a.m. EDT (1333 GMT), as the two vehicles were roughly 250 miles (400 km) above Bogota, Columbia.

Progress 49 is toting 2.9 tons of supplies, including 2,050 pounds (930 kilograms) of propellant, 926 pounds (420 kg) of water, 62 pounds (28 kg) of oxygen and 2,738 pounds (1,242 kg) of spare parts, NASA officials said. There's no word yet on whether any candy corn or miniature chocolate bars made it onboard to help the space station's six astronauts celebrate the season.

Life on orbit is always busy, but this week is particularly jam-packed for station crew.

For example, today's launch comes just three days after SpaceX's unmanned Dragon capsule left the station, wrapping up the first-ever commercial cargo mission to the $100 billion orbiting complex. Dragon splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the Baja California coast on Sunday afternoon (Oct. 28).

Dragon will make at least 11 more flights to the station under a $1.6 billion contract that California-based SpaceX signed with NASA. Its next launch is currently scheduled for January, agency officials have said.

Dragon is unique in its ability to ferry hardware, supplies and scientific experiments both to and from the space station. All other cargo craft currently operating including Russia's Progress ships carry supplies to the orbiting lab but burn up upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

Shortly after welcoming Progress 49 to the station, crewmembers will turn their attention to another task. NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, commander of the orbiting complex's current Expedition 33 mission, and Japanese colleague Akihiko Hoshide will perform a spacewalk Thursday morning (Nov. 1).

Beginning at 8:15 a.m. EDT (1215 GMT) Thursday, Williams and Hoshide will venture to the port side of the station's backbone-like truss to repair an ammonia leak in a radiator. The spacewalk should take about 6 1/2 hours, NASA officials said.
