El transbordador espacial ‘Discovery’ ha logrado aterrizar en el Centro Espacial Kennedy de la NASA en Cabo Cañaveral, Florida (Estados Unidos), en su cuarto intento de descenso, tras los dos abortos de aterrizaje de este lunes y el de este martes a las 13.33 horas (hora peninsular española).

Según lo previsto, el transbordador ‘pisó’ tierra a las 15.08 horas (hora española), tras trece días de misión en el espacio en la que fundamentalmente los siete tripulantes han colaborado en las tareas de suministro de la plataforma orbital.

Por primera vez y gracias a este viaje, cuatro mujeres han residido al mismo tiempo en la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS, por sus siglas en inglés). Tres de ellas viajaban a bordo del ‘Discovery’ y otra astronauta ya estaba en órbita.

El transbordador espacial ‘Discovery’ se desacopló este lunes a las 14.52 horas (hora peninsular española) de la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) y está previsto que aterrice en el Centro Espacial Kennedy de Cabo Cañaveral (Florida) el lunes a las 8.51 (14.51 hora peninsular española).

En el plan de vuelo está previsto que el piloto del ‘Discovery’, James P. Dutton Jr., efectúe un vuelo alrededor de la ISS para que la tripulación pueda realizar fotografías de la estación.

Ya el lunes, y si las condiciones meteorológicas lo permiten, el ‘Discovery’ activará sus motores de reentrada a las 13.43 del lunes y completará la maniobra de aterrizaje en menos de una hora desde ese momento.

Large prominence erupting from the Sun on April 13, 2010

A massive prominence erupted from the Sun on April 13, 2010. The best view of the eruption was from the STEREO Ahead spacecraft, as shown in this COR1 movie, combined with Helium II 304 Angstrom images of the solar disk from EUVI. This was one of the largest prominence eruptions seen during the STEREO mission so far.

Supplies Split Up on ISS

Relocating cargo from the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module to various positions aboard the International Space Station is among the highlights of the shuttle Discovery crew’s ninth day in space. Flight Day 9 also included installation of equipment outside the ISS on the third and final spacewalk of STS-131.

“Moving” Continues In and Out of Station

Numerous equipment installations by the spacewalking duo of Rick Mastracchio and Clay Anderson, as well as cargo transfers from the Leonardo module to the International Space Station by the Discovery crew, are captured in HD by STS-131 astronauts.

Discovery Back Flips for Safety

Space shuttle Discovery completed an eight minute-long Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver, a slow back flip that permitted International Space Station crew members Oleg Kotov and T.J. Creamer to snap high resolution photographs of the shuttles heat shield, or thermal protection system. The digital pictures will be transmitted to imagery experts and managers at Mission Control in Houston where theyll do a routine check for damage.
