International Space Station Columbus Module Launched.
2008-02-08 18:31:00 The much maligned International Space Station keeps moving forward oblivious to its critics. Yesterday the Shuttle Atlantis blasted off with the Columbus Module aboard. The Columbus module is another science module with the ability to hold 10 racks of scientific experiments. It is growing and finally becoming a significant platform in space. I understand the critics that deride its lack of strategic space location. Its in-between-ness that doesn't help us much to get anywhere else in the solar system. I understand the critics that bring up the ROI on a manned space station and compare it to one of our probe missions like the Mars Rovers. I understand all that. But I believe it provides other benefits: It teaches us how to construct complicated things in space. What we are learning from the ISS will be crucial for ANY construction we do in space and if you think there won't be much call for that...well I disagree with you. This has been don...

International Space Station and Atlantis Visible June 19th & 20th
2007-06-21 16:38:00 Stargazers across the globe caught glimpses of the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Atlantis racing through the sky early this week. Atlantis (Mission STS-117) undocked from the ISS on Tuesday evening, and still remains close to the station. Space agencies reported that viewers should be able to see the two spacecraft traveling through the sky near eachother. The Maryland Weather Blog reports that the shuttle should be flying “just ahead of the ISS…[which] should be brighter, and perhaps a bit amber compared with Atlantis“. Viewing conditions for this flyover are favorable due to new reflective equipment recently installed on the station, which will (along with Atlantis) be visible to the naked eye. The flyover was visible both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, however cloudy, unfavorable conditions blocked many viewers from seeing the celestial spectacle. Weather conditions throughout the country have cleared up for tonight’s flyover, which i...
