NASA Astronaut Releases Video on Helmet Leak
Several weeks after NASA aborted a spacewalk outside the International Space Station following a report of a water leak inside Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano’s helmet, Parmitano’s spacewalk partner has released a two-part video explaining the origin of the leak. The July 16 spacewalk was aborted approximately an hour-and-a-half into what was to be a six-hour spacewalk to … [Read more...]
Researchers Test Cooling System in Zero-Gravity
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers have completed high- and zero-gravity testing of an evaporative cooling system developed for sophisticated microelectronic systems onboard an astronaut training aircraft following three years of preparation supported by NASA. Managed by CNES subsidiary Novespace since 1997, the Airbus A300—nicknamed the Zero-G—is a short- to … [Read more...]
