#Crew 10

[gemini-enthusiast]

Currently having an incredible time at the @nasa Social experience for Crew 10! We've had the opportunity to speak to some truly awesome people who support launches, facilities, and public affairs, and everyone has such a passion for what they do here. I can't wait to tell you all more!

Watching the Crew-10 launch on Nasa+ and they are talking about Apollo-Soyuz and they just said - but some people call it Soyuz-Apollo.

Rescue Mission Crew X...

It seems like a movie for Crew 10 to finally get the Starliner Astronauts from the ISS after 9-months "lost in space(X)".

It was a beautiful evening for a launch and especially of this magnitude. Sonic Boom and all!

Go Falcon 9! Go Dragon!

NASA and SpaceX launch crew-10 to return astronauts from ISS

NASA and SpaceX launched a new crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) to bring home two NASA astronauts stranded in space for nine months. Originally expected to stay for just over a week, astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore faced delays due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. Their return is now set through SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission, which launched successfully from Florida.

Successful launch of crew-10 mission

NASA and SpaceX have launched a new crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This marks a critical step in bringing back two astronauts who have been in space since last June.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 7:03 pm Eastern Time on Friday, carrying the Crew-10 mission. Two and a half minutes after launch, SpaceX confirmed the first stage separation. The booster landed successfully at Landing Zone 1 near the launch pad. The spacecraft is en route to the ISS and will dock at 11:30 pm Eastern Time on Saturday. The journey will take 28.5 hours.

The Crew-10 mission includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. They will replace the current ISS crew: NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. The outgoing crew is set to return to Earth.

Extended stay due to technical issues

Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams launched aboard Boeing’s new Starliner capsule on 5 June, expecting a short mission. However, helium leaks and thruster malfunctions extended their stay. NASA and Boeing deemed the Starliner unsafe for return. They arranged for the astronauts to return on a SpaceX flight, initially scheduled for February. To speed up their return, SpaceX used a different capsule, moving their homecoming to mid-March.

Astronauts who travelled to the ISS last September on a SpaceX rescue mission will accompany them home. Two seats on the return leg are reserved for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams. NASA scheduled an overlap between the two crews to ensure a smooth transition. The departing astronauts will brief their replacements before undocking, expected next week. They will then splash down off the Florida coast, weather permitting.

Challenges and crew contributions

During their extended mission, Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams played a key role in station maintenance. They repaired a broken toilet, watered plants, conducted experiments, and completed a spacewalk. Ms Williams set a record for the most time spent spacewalking by a female astronaut, with nine spacewalks in her career.

The Crew-10 mission faced initial delays due to ground-based technical issues, including battery repairs on the new capsule. A last-minute hydraulic issue on Wednesday raised concerns over a clamp arm on the Falcon rocket’s support structure. SpaceX resolved the problem by flushing the hydraulic system to remove trapped air.

Earlier in the week, another SpaceX rocket exploded mid-air, scattering debris across the sky. Onlookers worldwide captured the incident on camera.

Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams remained positive about their prolonged stay and supported NASA’s decisions. However, they acknowledged the challenges for their families. Mr Wilmore looks forward to reuniting with his wife and two daughters. Ms Williams is eager to see her husband, mother, and take her two Labrador retrievers for a walk.

“We appreciate all the love and support from everyone,” Ms Williams said in a recent interview. “This mission has gained attention—there are positives and negatives to that—but the best part is that more people are becoming interested in what we do.”

Crew 10 Scrubbed Because Of Pad Hydraulic Issue

Some days you’re the bug, other days you’re the windshield. The scheduled Wednesday launch of the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station was scrubbed last night with a little more than forty six minutes left on the countdown clock. The delay stemmed from a malfunction in the hydraulic system of a ground support clamp arm attached to the Falcon 9 rocket, located at SpaceX’s Launch…

Soul King Merch 💀⚡️

[yuwuta]

olympics coming up…… athlete aus on the mind….. satoru as a swimmer….. unreasonably large wingspan…. huge hands..... thinks “official” competitions and tournaments are boring because he can’t use the goofy purple googly eyes goggles he likes to practice in…… practices at ungodly hours solely because he likes when the pool is empty because that means you’ll dip your feet in at the edge and be there to greet him with a kiss when he’s finished his laps….. they bring up the stats board and it’s just his name ten times before the next fastest person and he could still lap them, and even tho he’ll always put so much pressure on himself to be the best, it’s worth it to have you hold his face and tell him you’re proud of him... he’s gotten so much merch from events and sponsorships and he used to think they just created clutter but that all changes when you start to wear his clothes (esp the ones with his name on it… he’s not proud to admit that does Something to him)…. always looks up to the stands when he finishes a race and if he knows you’re not there, he looks right at the camera, draws an infinity sign with his fingers, and blows a kiss (which, some commentators routinely call “unsportsmanlike conduct” but he doesn’t care, and always, publicly says he’ll pay the fees if it means blowing a kiss to his girl at home)

Crew-10 launches to space station

[gemini-enthusiast]

Got to spend some unique moments today as part of the @nasa social event with the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon Endurance that will be ferrying Crew 10 to the International Space Station. Named for the resilience of the NASA team and in honor of the ship at the heart of Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, Endurance will carry US astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Russian Cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.

The first image shows the Falcon 9 on its side, before being lifted by the transporter erector, which will support the vehicle until launch.

Congratulations, Jod Na Nawood. You just may be the first Star Wars character to deny the call of Adoptive Fatherhood to Sassy Kid(s).
