NASA astronaut Christina Koch, who has spent nearly 11 months in orbit on the longest spaceflight by a woman, landed safely in Kazakhstan on Thursday along with two of her International Space Station crewmates.
After nearly 11 months in orbit, the astronaut holding the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman can’t wait to dig into some salsa and chips, and swim and surf in the Gulf of Mexico.
Little over 2 years after its launch, Interstellar Lab has unveiled an experimental Bioregenerative station (EBIOS), a potential-Mars settlement village on trial basis. It will open for public in 2021. The station will also be used as a research center for astronauts training.
Based on impact simulations, the scientists said if the Yarrabubba-forming meteorite collided into a continental ice sheet -- like modern day Antarctica -- it may have released between 87 trillion and 5,000 trillion kilograms of water vapour into the atmosphere instantaneously.
The two-week training is a critical aspect of the Gaganyaan project that is aimed at sending three Indians to space by 2022.
