#international-space-station — Public Fediverse posts

🎉🎉🎉On this day in 2017, #UPsat 🛰️ was deployed from the #InternationalSpaceStation.
Its deployment marked a monumental milestone: it was the first-ever #opensource satellite to be launched!
With all its subsystems designed from scratch and manufactured by the Libre Space Foundation, the #UPSat mission kick-started a new era in space engineering and #space technologies.

A Lyrid meteor captured from orbit

The Expedition 74 crew on the International Space Station turned into meteor chasers as Earth passed through a cloud of dust and small debris left behind by comet Thatcher in 1861.

ISS astronauts pose with fresh fruit in microgravity

I'm very thankful to the astronauts on the International Space Station for taking a series of photos of Chennai, India for me.

They used the lens I requested, but the longest exposure time they used was ~0.07 s, when I really need them to take a much longer exposure time (like 1s second).

I can totally imagine what's happening when the astronaut sees my request... "One second? That doesn't make sense, the image would overexposed and blurry. That can't be what they meant, but I'll take some good images for them with shorter exposure times." 🙃

Rinse and repeat... Anyway, it's always helpful to get images like this, and 0.07 s is the longest they've taken for me yet, so we'll see if we can do something with it!

[Edit: Solved! Thanks @ai6yr, @headfirstonly, and @pmisson! I had thought the ISS was too far inland for it to be the coast.]

Dear Hive Mind: This photo shows two cities in India, but I don't know which they are. I would like to know out which they are so that I can figure out what all the bright dots in the image are. The original image (with much higher resolution) is here: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS074&roll=E&frame=88443

I am not sure which way is North, the image may be rotated. Are any of you familiar enough with Indian cities to work it out?

The #InternationalSpaceStation was over 18.9° N, 76.9° E when the photo was taken, but it is probably not taken directly downward.

WOW! An astronaut on the #InternationalSpaceStation captured a photo of the last rays of sun hitting a tall mountain in the #Himalayas

NASA and Voyager Technologies have signed an order for the seventh private astronaut mission to the #InternationalSpaceStation, targeted to launch no earlier than 2028 from Florida: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-selects-voyager-for-seventh-private-mission-to-space-station/ and https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260415327488/en

13 years ago, an astronaut sang live from space with singers on Earth. It’s a must-watch.

‘Space worms’ are en route to the International Space Station

Wow! It's so hard to believe, but 4 years ago today, yours truly became a ham'!
It's insain to think about the number of incredible people I've met along this journey, including some, who have sadly become silent keys. Ham radio is the world's greatest hobby for good reason. It allows licensees to communicate with one another, whether they're in your own backyard or across the globe, in another country. I've also heard of people using the service in emergencies as well as to talk to people aboard the #InternationalSpaceStation, which is certainly on my bucket list. As I type this reflective message, I'm in the process of studying for my #GeneralLicense.
Thanks & 73.
I hope to hear you on-air soon!

PS: Quick tip: CW will get through when nothing else, including voice will, so it's on my bucket list to learn that too.#HamRadio, #EmmergencyCommunications, #GlobalCommunication, #CW

I can remember looking up at the sky with wonder to see #Sputnik one pass overhead when I was a child in New Zealand. I was just totally amazed at this moving star.

Now I am old and one of my hobbies is #AstroPhotography. I hate bloody #satellites now, they’re everywhere. You can’t get away from them and what’s more a window on the #InternationalSpaceStation was chipped recently by what they think is probably a fleck of paint from some dirty great bit of rocket that has has been floating around up there for years and years.

Sod all the satellites that #ElonMusk in particular has been jamming up there🤮🛸😾

always nice to get back #home after travel!

(also, Jordan's coming to visit tomorrow, and I'm gonna see about us setting aside some time for editing -- we've got a good collection of recorded #podcast episodes, so hopefully we can return from the woods to resume releases soon!)
