Slowly an astronaut emerges, the blackness of space behind him. He gestures to the camera before edging his way out.
This is China's first spacewalk#on 27 september 2008, China became the third nation to independently carry out
It announced plans to take international astronauts aboard its larger space station, scheduled for completion at the end of the decade#a time
An astronaut hopped and bounced on the Moon, before placing a flag on its surface. But the flag didn't have the familiar stars-and-stripes pattern.
He would stage zero-gravity simulation training by sticking aspiring astronauts into a steel barrel
So if we do ever send astronauts to Mars they might be tucking into freshly printed pizza.
"This technology can potentially also help cancer patients from the side effects of radiation therapy and astronauts from chronic exposure to cosmic rays on their journey to Mars. s
To recruit in this environment is like being part wizard part astronaut, part diplomat, part guidance counselor.
When this weather heads in the direction of Earth it can damage satellites endanger astronauts on the International space station and cause power grid outages on the ground.
#Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot lets cows milk themselves If cow milking recalls a bucolic image of a farmer strolling out to the barn with a bucket and stool,
A case in point is the Astronaut 4 from Dutch agricultural firm Lely. With this robotic milker, the farmer needn't come any closer to the action than a readout on a smartphone,
The Astronaut 4 is one of a range of robotic farming systems made by Lely, including robotic cowshed cleaners and forage pushers.
The Astronaut 4 system is designed to be as easy as possible for the cow to use.
and the Astronaut 4 version is developed a more model. It looks formidable, but that because it designed to be stable
and pen of the Astronaut 4 are equipped also with sensors to detects signs of mastitis.
and it would have required over 100 astronauts working with thousands of crude robots to create it.
#World's first man-made photosynthetic'leaf'could produce oxygen for astronauts To say that an invention has the potential to change the world is often an overstatement,
by allowing our astronauts to travel longer distances in space and possibly even colonize new planets."
Aside from producing oxygen for astronauts, the Silk Leaf could also be used as building material to produce clean air for buildings.
#'Astroskin'smart shirt monitors astronauts'health in Antarctica Remember that pivotal scene in the movie"Apollo 13"in which crewmembers rip the biomedical sensors off their bodies?
Astroskin, a prototype device to monitor astronaut health, is a garment that fits over a person's upper body
From the ground, doctors can see an astronaut's vital signs, as well as how well the spacefarers are sleeping
Scientists with the European space agency and other institutions, for example, are working on a tight-fitting"skinsuit"that could help astronauts combat the back problems that are a common consequence of long-term spaceflight l
#Mini MRI to check bone health on space station Astronauts may soon have a portable MRI machine to keep an eye on their muscles and bones during a spell on the International space station.
Bone and muscle loss in microgravity is a major health issue in orbit astronauts are checked usually before and after missions.
Astronauts need only place their wrists inside to have checked their bones. Sarty presented the technology at the International Astronautical Congress in Toronto Canada on 3 october.
A cunning way to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in two distinct steps could be a boon to both astronauts
But Musk has wanted always Dragon to become a reusable ride for astronauts. The new vehicle has simple silvery walls seats for up to seven passengers and a set of flatscreen control panels.
which will allow astronauts to set the spacecraft down on solid ground. The current version of Dragon deploys a parachute as it descends
The engines will allow astronauts to better manoeuvre in space as well as control their trajectory for re-entry.
Spacex) NASA ASTRONAUTS are not set to ride in the Dragon V2 until 2017. However a colony of mice and rats will make the journey on the next Spacex cargo launch becoming the private company's first mammalian passengers.
#Mini robot space surgeon to climb inside astronauts It could one day answer the prayers of astronauts who need surgery in deep space.
The hope is that such robots will accompany future astronauts on long deep-space missions, when the chances are higher that someone will experience physical trauma."
Astronauts are screened carefully for health issues before leaving Earth, and the ISS has an escape capsule standing by in case of emergencies,
Virtual Incision hopes to avoid this problem by training astronauts to perform procedures on each other.
This article will appear in print under the headline"Surgery bot fits in astronaut's gut a
and human exploration says Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston Texas. Astronauts could drink moon water extracted from its rocks or use it as radiation shielding.
Virgin galactic's Spaceshiptwo is a six passenger two pilot suborbital craft designed to give wannabe astronauts a few minutes in space.
If you have an ill astronaut it would be nice to have a 3d image of them he says
Original article published 10 june 2013china will launch the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft on 11 june lofting three astronauts on a 15-day mission to learn how to rendezvous
The mission is the last of three scheduled experiments designed to help astronauts master the skills for building
The astronauts will rendezvous with the Tiangong 1 (Heavenly Palace 1) space module which has been orbiting Earth since September 2011.
Since the space shuttles retired in 2011 NASA has been contracting with private firms to deliver cargo and soon hopefully astronauts to the space station.
Astronauts drilled into rocks on the moon and Soviet landers drilled on the moon and on Venus. Curiosity's predecessors the rovers Spirit and Opportunity each had a tool that scraped away the top layers of rocks to see what was beneath
#Shrink-wrapping spacesuits For future astronauts the process of suiting up may go something like this:
Instead of climbing into a conventional bulky gas-pressurized suit an astronaut may don a lightweight stretchy garment lined with tiny musclelike coils.
not only support the astronaut but would give her much more freedom to move during planetary exploration.
In subsequent tests the group found that the pressure produced by the coils equaled that required to fully support an astronaut in space.
The first option would overheat an astronaut and require heavy battery packs a design that would significantly impede mobility
and is given likely infeasible the limited power resources available to astronauts in space. Holschuh and Newman are currently exploring the second option looking into potential mechanisms to lock
We re trying to keep our astronauts alive safe and mobile but these designs are not just for use in space.
and generate electricity for astronauts. Soon, they came across exoelectrogens; a 1999 study had revealed that exoelectrogens could,
Silver says. he challenge of supporting astronauts in space is very similar to sustainability On earth,
and you save space plus you give the astronauts a home-cooked meal. Also: it's fun to watch.
No one will fly astronauts/cosmonauts up to the ISS on an unmanned vehicle. Other than that good article.
Today NASA announced that two private companies will be tasked with taxiing NASA ASTRONAUTS to and from the International space station beginning in 2017.
The companies will sign contracts with NASA to further develop their spacecraft to deliver astronauts to and from the ISS.
Most importantly though is that the program will end bring an end to NASA's reliance on Russian spacecraft to ferry astronauts from Earth to the ISS.
Since the end of the Space shuttle program in 2011 NASA ASTRONAUTS have been hitching rides on Russian Soyuz rockets.
#Robonaut doctor to practice in space Astronauts all know how important it is to stay healthy in space.
Most astronauts complete medical training which equips them with the skills to perform procedures such as first aid and basic surgery.
After its training is complete the $2. 5 million Robonaut 2 designed to assist astronauts with their duties both inside
hina conducts about 18 launches a year and sent its first astronaut into orbit in 2003.
In its most recent manned space mission in June three astronauts spent 15 days in orbit and docked with a space laboratory.
Astronauts will use the station's 57-foot arm to reach out and capture Dragon at 7: 15 a m. on April 15.
The astronauts will photograph the materials every three weeks. When the material returns to Earth in July, it will be tested
The International space station is an international science laboratory in low Earth orbit where astronauts conduct scientific research in biology, human biology, astronomy, meteorology and other fields in a gravity-free environment.
It is staffed currently by two astronauts from NASA, three cosmonauts from Russia and an astronaut from the European space agency.
NASA scientists Mia Siochi explained in a video about the project. t was gratifying to see as we actually test this material on the field it actually works. his substance not only has lifesaving applications for astronauts,
#Humanoid robot to teach astronauts onboard ISS French researchers have developed"an autobiographical memory"for a robot, the only permanent member onboard the International space station (ISS),
which will help it pass on key information to astronauts who change every six months. In order for a robot to understand cooperative behaviour,
It was designed to assist the work of astronauts in complicated situations, especially during extra-vehicular outings s
#Space suit that'mimics'gravity tested An innovative'Skinsuit'designed to reduce the debili ating physical effects of space light has been trialled for the first time on the International space station by a European space agency (ESA) astronaut.
Denmark's first astronaut, Andreas Mogensen, spent 10 days in the International space station ISS) last month,
Skinsuit has been designed to mimic the impact of gravity on the body to reduce the debilitating physical effects space flights have on astronauts'bodies.
In the weightless conditions in space, astronauts can lose up to 2%bone mass per month.
Following flight, astronauts have four times the risk of herniated discs as the general population.""Given the impact of atrophy on astronauts in space,
I wondered if a suit like the one worn by Freeman could fool the body into thinking it was on the ground rather than in space,
this fantastic initiative uses multipurpose solar-powered suitcase 3d printers that can be used to manufacture all sorts of medical tools in the remote corners of the world and even in space by astronauts.
a series of tests have already proven that astronauts can also benefit from this portable kit, for
forcing the Russian space agency to postpone the return of three cosmonauts onboard the station. Russia initially planned to bring back the crew home on 14 may;
prior to transporting replacement astronauts, in order to ensure crew safety. Launched aboard a Soyuz rocket from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 28 april,
including Denmark's first astronaut, roared off on Wednesday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, beginning a two-day journey to the International space station (ISS).
The crew is commanded by veteran Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov, joined by rookie Andreas Mogensen from the European space agency (ESA) and Aidyn Aimbetov,
ESA dubbed Mogensen"Denmark's Gagarin,"a reference to the Soviet cosmonaut and first man in space, Yuri Gagarin.
They help astronauts battle the negative impact of weightlessness. Aimbetov, the third ethnic Kazakh in space, said he was taking dried mare's milk and traditional Kazakh cheese to orbit.
Volkov is the first son of a cosmonaut who has flown to the 15-nation space outpost."
whose father, Alexander Volkov, commanded a Soyuz spaceship that took the first-ever Kazakh cosmonaut, Tokhtar Aubakirov, into space in 1991.
Mogensen and Aimbetov are set to return to Earth on Sept. 12, together with veteran Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, 57,
Volkov will return to Earth in March together with NASA ASTRONAUT Scott Kelly and Russian Mikhail Kornienko
but this steady increase in pace should avoid subjecting astronauts to dangerously rapid forces of acceleration.)
Space elevator in a tower 12 miles high could one day give astronauts a leg-up into the cosmos
'Astronauts would ascent to 12 miles (20km) by electrical elevator.''From the top of the tower, space planes will launch in a single stage to orbit,

#Astronauts chow down on space harvest for the first time The International space station (ISS) was the scene of an historic lunch this week with the crew members of Expedition 44 dining on the first meal harvested in space.
which was eaten on Monday by US astronauts Scott Kelly, Kjell Lindgren, and Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui, was a very informal affair.
For preparation the lettuce was harvested and treated with a citric acid-based, food safe sanitizing wipe. Since the yield consisted of only a few leaves,
The main purpose of Veg-01 is to test technology that may one day allow astronauts to grow gardens aboard spaceships
Astronauts miss the taste of home so crafting a fruitier, stronger, more floral blend is a way they can keep the taste of home with them.
Water on Mars would be a crucial resource for astronauts visiting the planet or for long-term colonists.

52 year-old UK resident Adrian Lane, who recently had a brief but exhilarating conversation with the astronauts on board the International space station (ISS.
"Astronauts on board the ISS spend much of their time taking care of more important and scientific tasks,
For example, schoolchildren from the UK are scheduled to talk to Britain's first fully fledged astronaut Tim Peake, using the same ham radio technology later on this year.
Astronauts will use the station's 57-foot arm to reach out and capture Dragon at 7: 15 a m. on April 15.

#Europe's top court rejects'Safe harbor'ruling Europe's top court on Tuesday ruled that a 15-year-old agreement allowing American companies to handle Europeans'data was invalid,
it is also being adapted by Nasa to analyse brain pressure levels in astronauts to help tackle space-related visual problems and sickness.
And the innovations could soon benefit the military, astronauts and even everyday consumers. Scroll down for videos A glimpse into this world of extraordinary gloves,
Russian cosmonauts took a spacewalk in January outside the ISS to complete the camera work on the Earth-observing cameras.
primarily to perform imaging of the astronauts'eyes, bones, and internal organs. The successful outcome of this clinical trial mitigates the risk of renal stone formation,
and altered bone metabolism collectively increase the likelihood of an astronaut developing a kidney stone, "said Jeffrey P. Sutton, M d.,Ph d.,NSBRI's President, CEO and Institute Director.
Kidney stones have been observed in U s. astronauts before and after spaceflight and one Russian cosmonaut reported abdominal pain on orbit
