These NASA Photos of Space Station Crew Landing Are Simply Amazing

Posted: at 4:45 pm

NASA captured some amazing photos of three International Space Station crewmembers returning to Earth after a 167-day space mission.

In one of the photos, a half-moon hovers behind the Russian Soyuz capsule carrying NASA astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova. A second photo shows the sun backlighting both the Soyuz and the clouds as the spacecraft gently descends under a parachute towards its landing site in Kazakhstan.

Landing was challenging under these conditions, as fog made it difficult for the recovery crews to arrive at the spacecraft. Besides some communications fadeouts, however, the landing was successful and the crew arrived safely back on Earth at about 8:07 a.m. local time March 12, (10:07 p.m. March 11 EDT).

The shots were taken by NASA photographer Bill Ingalls, who regularly journeys to Kazakhstan to capture crew landings.

NASA currently relies on Russia's Soyuz spacecraft to ferry their astronauts to and from the space station, but that could change in the next two years. NASA officials hope to start buying seats aboard private spacecraft built by Boeing and SpaceX to fly astronauts to and from the station by 2017.

Meanwhile, the orbiting outpost is undergoing several upgrades to prepare it for the arrival of these commercial spacecraft. The preparation began in earnest this year with three spacewalks to install docking adapters for the commercial Boeing CST-100 and SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Wilmore participated in all three of the excursions outside the station.

Crews have been on board the space station continually since 2000, and construction began in 1998. The first one-year crew will blast off to the station later this month when cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, as well as cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, rocket to space from Kazakhstan on March 27.

Introducing NASA's bouncy-house habitat for the ISS

It might look like a moon-shaped bouncy house, but a large, shiny, silver inflatable sphere scheduled to be transported to the International Space Station (ISS) later this year is actually a new expandable habitat co-developed by NASA and Bigelow Aerospace.

BEAM us up, Scotty!

Known as the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), the habitat is scheduled to be carried to the orbiting laboratory on a SpaceX flight this September, according to a Washington Post report published on Friday. Upon its arrival, it will be attached to the ISS and will undergo extensive tests over the next two years to see if it can handle the rigors of space.

[STORY: Inflatable bouncer injuries on the rise]

BEAM recently passed the US space agencys rigorous certification requirements, the newspaper added, but only time will tell if the habitat can withstand the radiation of space, the movement of the ISS itself, and potential collisions with the countless fragments of debris in orbit.

On its official website, Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace noted that it had been awarded a $17.8 million contract for the development of expandable space habitat technology. The module will be berthed to the stations Tranquility node, and a pressurization system will be activated by the ISS crew in order to expand the structure to its full size.

During the trial period, astronauts will periodically enter the module to gather performance data and inspect the unit, and at the conclusion of the two-year test, the BEAM module is slated to be jettisoned from the space station, where it will fall back towards Earth and burn up in the atmosphere.

Jailbreaking yeast could amp up wine's health benefits, reduce morning-after headaches

Posted: at 4:44 pm

University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences

URBANA - University of Illinois scientists have engineered a "jailbreaking" yeast that could greatly increase the health benefits of wine while reducing the toxic byproducts that cause your morning-after headache.

"Fermented foods--such as beer, wine, and bread--are made with polyploid strains of yeast, which means they contain multiple copies of genes in the genome. Until now, it's been very difficult to do genetic engineering in polyploid strains because if you altered a gene in one copy of the genome, an unaltered copy would correct the one that had been changed," said Yong-Su Jin, a U of I associate professor of microbial genomics and principal investigator in the Energy Biosciences Institute.

Recently scientists have developed a "genome knife" that cuts across multiple copies of a target gene in the genome very precisely--until all copies are cut. Jin's group has now used this enzyme, RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease, to do precise metabolic engineering of polyploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that have been widely used in the wine, beer, and fermentation industries.

The possibilities for improved nutritive value in foods are staggering, he said. "Wine, for instance, contains the healthful component resveratrol. With engineered yeast, we could increase the amount of resveratrol in a variety of wine by 10 times or more. But we could also add metabolic pathways to introduce bioactive compounds from other foods, such as ginseng, into the wine yeast. Or we could put resveratrol-producing pathways into yeast strains used for beer, kefir, cheese, kimchee, or pickles--any food that uses yeast fermentation in its production."

Another benefit is that winemakers can clone the enzyme to enhance malolactic fermentation, a secondary fermentation process that makes wine smooth. Improper malolactic fermentation generates the toxic byproducts that may cause hangover symptoms, he said.

Jin stressed the genome knife's importance as a tool that allows genetic engineers to make these extremely precise mutations.

"Scientists need to create designed mutations to determine the function of specific genes," he explained. "Say we have a yeast that produces a wine with great flavor and we want to know why. We delete one gene, then another, until the distinctive flavor is gone, and we know we've isolated the gene responsible for that characteristic."

The new technology also makes genetically modified organisms less objectionable, he said. "In the past, scientists have had to use antibiotic markers to indicate the spot of genetic alteration in an organism, and many persons objected to their use in foods because of the danger of developing antibiotic resistance. With the genome knife, we can cut the genome very precisely and efficiently so we don't have to use antibiotic markers to confirm a genetic event."
