International Space Station - Newcastle NSW - 25 J
The last 30 seconds of an ISS pass on a perfectly clear hot summer night. The time was just after dusk with a near full moon rising to it #39;s side . Really quite beautiful 🙂 Location: Newcastle NSW A

Triangle UFO Seen from Space Station. NASA Cover Up
Please SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, and THUMBS UP ... THANK YOU! The Triangle UFO is not new to those in the know however, this is the first time it has ever been caught so clearly on images from space. NASA was ready with the "space junk" story but a picture is worth a 1000 words. If there is space junk up there that shape and size that it would not only be dangerous but a real shame. Think NASA will ever come clean with what it really is and why they are covering it up? Is this the beginning of the Space Warfare scenario we #39;ve learned so much about?

Let's Play Space Station Silicon Valley - Part 12 - Video

An International Space Station experiment testing the ability of robots to repair and refuel orbiting satellites has resumed, after being stalled for a week by a software glitch.

NASA's Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) resumed operations Tuesday after engineers finished analyzing loads and software limits for the space station's Dextre robot, agency officials announced in a Tuesday mission update.

RRM calls for Dextre, which sits at the end of the orbiting lab's huge Canadarm2 robotic arm, to perform simulated refueling and repair tasks on a washing-machine-size platform affixed to the station's exterior.

Space news from NBCNews.com

Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: When dung beetles roll their tiny balls of poop across the sands of South Africa on a moonless night, they look to the glow of our Milky Way galaxy as a navigational aid, researchers report.

The latest round of RRM experiments started Jan. 14 and was expected to last about 10 days, but a software glitch halted activities after just a day.

The RRM module, which consists of activity boards and tools necessary to demonstrate on-orbit refueling, launched to the station in July 2011 aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, which was making the last flight in the shuttle program's 30-year history.

The experiment's goal is to demonstrate technology that could someday fix and refuel orbiting satellites robotically, thereby extending their lives and potentially saving satellite operators billions of dollars over the long haul.

Such work can be challenging, since current satellites were generally not designed to be serviced.

The first RRM experiments began last year, when controllers on the ground used the two-armed Dextre to snip some wires with minimal clearance.

5) Inflatable Space Station

Were this close to having a bouncy castle in space. NASA just ordered an inflatable module that will attach to the International Space Station.

Start up company Bigelow Aerospace won an 18 million dollar contract from NASA to build the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM. The module is just 4 meters long and 3.2 meters in diameter. Thats a little bit larger than your average car, but its designed to provide more living space for the ISS.

BEAM will travel to the space station in 2015, where it will be installed and inflated. For two years, the module will be monitored and tested to see how it holds up.

Then, BEAM will detach, fall towards Earth, and burn up. Because the walls of the inflatable module are about four times lighter than those currently used on the ISS, theyre much cheaper to lift into orbit. Their light weight could make blow-up modules the space technology of the future, whether used as free-floating space stations or for moon bases.

4) Monkey Launch

Last week, the Iranian space agency said it wants to launch a monkey into spaceagain. The first attempt, in the summer of 2011, failed. Officials gave no details about what went wrong.

According to the Iranians, within the next month a live Rhesus monkey will be launched into space aboard a Safir rocket. The monkey will reach a sub-orbit altitude and assuming everything goes to plan, return to Earth safely.

The Iranian government has said it wants send an astronaut into space by 2020 and to the moon by 2025. So, sending a monkey would be a significant first step. In the 1950s and 60s the US, French, and Russian governments tested the safety of their spacecraft by sending dogs, monkeys, and even chimps into space.

Such work can be challenging, since current satellites were generally not designed to be serviced.

The first RRM experiments began last year, when controllers on the ground used the two-armed Dextre to snip some wires with minimal clearance. The latest round of activities will be more complex and involved, as Dextre will snip more wires, unscrew caps and pump simulated fuel, NASA officials have said.

let #39;s play Kerbal Space Program : EP 4 : space station part 2, some docking maneuvers
Hello everyone, and welcome to my little let #39;s play side project: Kerbal Space Program. This game is about sending little green guys into space with custom build rockets or spaceplanes. The game has a very interesting gameplay and realistic physics, which means you have to work with orbits. The game is a independent production by Squad. It is still under heavy development and currently in alpha, Version 0.18.2 For more information please visit http://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com

Cellular Space Station - Minecraft Bio Project
Analogy for the cell- Space Station It needed to be in "commercial form" to try to advertise this as a place of interest. Also, I made it on Minecraft :3, the first project I have ever been able to do this with. The map will be downloadable once I get it 100% finished and maybe working better, due to the fact that I was on a time constraint and could only do so much. The texture pack I used was put together really quick (made by me) and was a little bugged and off, and I might make a better one in the future.
