NASA TV Previews and Broadcasts Space Station U.S. Spacewalks

The mirror like visor of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman reflects NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore during their Oct. 15, 2014 spacewalk outside the International Space Station. Both Flight Engineers are in the process of making repairs which include removing and replacing a power regulator known as a sequential shunt unit, which failed back in mid-May. The two spacewalkers also moved TV and camera equipment in preparation for the relocation of the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module to accommodate the installation of new docking adapters for future commercial crew vehicles.

Two NASA astronauts from the International Space Station’s Expedition 42 crew will venture outside the orbital complex on Friday, Feb. 20; Tuesday, Feb. 24; and Sunday, March 1. They will prepare cables and communications gear for new docking ports that will allow future crews launched from Florida on U.S. commercial spacecraft to dock to the space station.

The preview briefing will be broadcast at 2 p.m. EST from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Media may take part in person or by telephone. Reporters who want to ask questions by phone must call Johnson’s newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 1:45 p.m. Wednesday. Cell phones are discouraged.
The panelists for the briefing are:
• Kenneth Todd, International Space Station Operations and Integration manager
• Tomas Gonzalez-Torres, Expedition 42 lead flight director
• Karina Eversley, Extravehicular Activity (EVA) # 29 officer
• Sarah Korona, EVA # 30 officer
• Arthur Thomason, EVA # 31 officer
Expedition 42 Commander Barry Wilmore and Flight Engineer Terry Virts will exit the station from the Quest airlock for each of the three spacewalks around 7:10 a.m. NASA TV coverage of the approximately six-and-a-half hour spacewalks will begin at 6 a.m.
Built by Boeing under contract to NASA, the International Docking Adapters are a critical component of the station's reconfiguration to ensure long-term docking ports for future commercial crew and other visiting spacecraft. They will permit the standard station crew size to grow from six to seven, potentially doubling the amount of time devoted to research aboard the orbiting laboratory.
The two new docking adapters will be launched to the station on a pair of SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft this year. Astronauts will install the first of two adapters on Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 on the forward end of the station’s Harmony module during a future spacewalk. The second adapter will be installed on Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 after it is relocated robotically to the space-facing port of Harmony later this year.
The spacewalks will be the 185th, 186th and 187th in support of space station assembly and maintenance. Wilmore has conducted one spacewalk in his career last October. The spacewalks will be the first of Virts' career.

Sent to me by a good buddy, if you have a chance, I think you will enjoy the wonder it presents: Dark side of the moon video/scale of the universe and the definitions of a googol and a googolplex (links)
Here are 3 links (specifically defined in the subject line above). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdkMHkF7BaA#t=85<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdkMHkF7BaA> What I saw on FOX News today was the second half of the video where the earth looks so small. They explain in the video why this view looks the way it does. Here’s another link with more info on this video: http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/12597/20150209/dark-side-of-the-moon-comes-into-light.htm
http://htwins.net/scale2/ (I would click on the “note” in the upper right hand corner of the box to get rid of the cloying music…tho as I listen to it…I am absolutely overcome with WONDER and AWE.) When going to the small stuff (moving the cursor to the left) you very quickly get into simple things like “yoctometres” (A yoctometre is equivalent to 1/100,000 the diameter of a proton<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton> or neutron<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron>.) On the whole, I’d say that was pretty small. Eventually you get down to “strings”, Planck foam and Planck lengths. Going to the right where things get bigger is more interesting. Don’t forget to click on anything you might see on the screen. The program gives you a little definition of that particular subject.

NASA, Space Station Partners Announce Future Mission Crew Members
NASA and its International Space Station partners have announced the crew members, including NASA astronauts Kate Rubins, Shane Kimbrough and Peggy Whitson, for three upcoming missions to the space station.
Rubins will be the first of the three with her mission beginning in May 2016, when she will join the station’s Expedition 48 crew already in orbit. Selected to become an astronaut in 2009, this will be her first trip into space. Rubins was born in Farmington, Connecticut, and grew up in Napa, California. She holds a doctorate in cancer biology from Stanford.
Kimbrough, born in Killeen, Texas, and raised in Atlanta, is a retired U.S. Army colonel. He previously flew aboard space shuttle Endeavour during its STS-126 mission in 2008. Kimbrough has spent almost 16 days in space and accumulated 12 hours and 52 minutes on spacewalks.
Whitson, an Iowa native born in Mt. Ayr and raised in Beaconsfield, holds a doctorate in biochemistry from Rice University. She completed two six-month tours of duty aboard the space station, the second as its first female commander. She has spent 377 days in space between the two missions. Whitson also has performed six spacewalks, totaling 39 hours and 46 minutes.
The crew comprising Expedition 48 will be:
• Jeff Williams, NASA
• Alexey Ovchinin, Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos)
• Oleg Skripochka, Roscosmos
