It was the first taste of gravity for Vande Hei and Dubrov since their Soyuz launch on April 9 last year. Shkaplerov joined them at the orbiting lab in October, escorting a Russian film crew up for a brief stay. To accommodate that visit, Vande Hei and Dubrov doubled the length of their stay.

The Apollo 7 mission launched in 1968 and lasted roughly 11 days, sending the crew on a journey into orbit that amounted to a test flight that could demonstrate the Apollo capsule's ability to rendezvous with another spacecraft in orbit and pave the way for future exploration deeper into space. It was also notable for featuring in the first live TV broadcast of Americans from space, according to NASA.
Since the camera can be rotated in any direction without affecting the directionfrom the spacecraft nadir point to the center of the photograph, and since photographscan be viewed at any rotation, this field does not suggest that the top of the photographis in the direction specified. This field is most useful for oblique photographs where itis possible to see the direction from the camera, visible as the edge of the photographthat appears to be the closest, to the center of the photograph, and thus determine thecompass direction associated with that vector.onc, jncText fields.Specifies the ONC and JNC map identifications for navigational charts produced by the Defense Mapping Agency. These fields were no longer recorded beginning with STS093 (July 1999). nlatSigned floating point number. Valid values range in [-90.0,90.0] although thephotographs will be virtually all between -60 and 60.This is the latitude of the nadir point (suborbital point) of the space craft at the timethe photograph was taken. Negative values indicate South of the equator.nlonSigned floating point number. Valid values range in [-180.0,180.0].This is the longitude of the nadir point (suborbital point) of the space craft at the timethe photograph was taken.

Negative values indicate that the sunis below the horizon.altPositive integer.Specifies the altitude above the Earth's surface of the space craft innautical miles.cameraThis is a two character code.

Valid values are quoted positive integers otherthan 1 e.g. "2" and "123".This identifies how many different images of a given type (see the type field) thereare for the photograph. If there is only one version, then this field is NULL.filenameText field of the form mission-roll-frame_version.type where_version only exists if the version is not NULL.

"Y" means Yes there is an adjacent photograph of the same area. "N" means No there is not. Generally, both members of a pair must have the same exposure (EXPO) value. Usually the STEO field is "Y" only in cases where both have normal exposure. Some variable exposures might work for stereo viewing. To find stereo views, look for values of "Y" in the STEO field in adjacent frames of the same mission and roll. This field is not being cataloged beginning with STS093 (July 1999).
The IMBP was established in 1963 and is the Institute responsible for all aspects of medical and biological support for humans in space, from selection of cosmonauts to in flight support and rehabilitation. You will receive all the same tests given to IMBP's "normal clients" - Russia's top test pilots and scientists hoping to be accepted into Russia's Space Program.
A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space. Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
Vande Hei, 55, a retired Army colonel, moved into the space station last April, launching on a Soyuz from Kazakhstan with Pyotr Dubrov and another Russian. He and Dubrov stayed twice as long as usual to accommodate a Russian film crew that visited in October.
"I find flights tend to be an environment for making stronger emotional connections to characters in films, and you can't help but be moved by the various events throughout the three movies," Laurence Norah, travel blogger at Finding the Universe, told Insider.
"Not only did it completely rivet me, making hours of the flight pass in the blink of an eye, it kept me pleasantly on the edge of my seat. I find the distraction of an emotionally-engaging film matches well with the excitement and adrenaline I feel on a flight," she told Insider.
NASA official: The astronaut training program will last probably two years. During this time our urgent goal is to subject these gentlemen to every stress, each unusual environment they will experience in that flight. Before the first flight, we will have developed our Mercury spaceship to the point where it will be as reliable as man can devise.
Walter Cronkite: In these final days before the launch of this Gemini flight, now scheduled for next Tuesday, dozens of contractors in dozens of buildings all over Cape Kennedy are going through the final tests of their pieces of equipment that will be in this complex booster and spacecraft when they blast off from pad nineteen. 2ff7e9595c
