full news here:
I can’t go a few days without making a run
to the grocery store. Imagine being cooped
up 250 miles above the Earth with no new
supplies since April 17. That’s what crew
members aboard the International Space
Station (ISS) were dealing with after two
failed supply launches.
Russia’s Progress M-28M launched without
a hitch on July 3. Yesterday, the supply ship
successfully docked with the ISS. More than
three tons of much-needed supplies were
delivered to the space station.
1,940 pounds of propellant, 106 pounds of
oxygen, 926 pounds of water and 3,133
pounds of assorted supplies, spare parts
and experiment hardware.
Among the goodies? Some fresh fruit.
A few failures doesn’t mean the end of
space flight. Future missions are expected
to go as planned.
The next space flight will be manned and
will boost the ISS crew to its full
complement of six. Russia’s Oleg
Kononenko, Japan’s Kimiya Yui and U.S.’ Kjell
N. Lindgren will blast towards the ISS via a
Soyuz spacecraft.
The next unmanned supply flight is
scheduled for August 16, 2015. The
Kounotori 5 will launch from the
Tanegashima Space Center in Japan. It will
mark the fifth flight of the H-II Transfer
Vehicle, designed by the Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency (JAXA).
