On Wednesday, (Oct. 25), two Russian Cosmonauts conducted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station to get an up-close view of a coolant leakage that was first spotted flowing from an external radiator earlier this month. While conducting the spacewalk, Cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko moved extremely close to the growing “droplet” or “blob” as scientists described the
A new study just revealed that the International Space Station (ISS) is polluted with massive amounts of harmful chemicals. Scientists finalized this study by analyzing the dust samples returned to Earth from the ISS’s air filtering system. Further analysis showed that the concentration of the chemical substance on the space station surpasses the dust that
ISS water recycling is one of the most essential requirements astronauts need to survive aboard the orbiting laboratory. NASA through its astronauts aboard the International Space Station succeeded in recycling 98 percent of all crew pee and sweat on the International Space Station. The American space agency and its partners have been trying to improve
The International Space Station which has been operating in low Earth orbit since 1998 is getting closer to retirement as some of its parts are becoming weak to operate in space.
