A record-setting astronaut returns safely to Earth, practicing for the first launch of Artemis, and honoring a member of a legendary group of aviators … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!
This video is available for download from NASA’s Image and Video Library: https://images.nasa.gov/details-NHQ_2020_0207_A%20Safe%20Return%20to%20Earth%20for%20a%20Record-Setting%20Astronaut%20on%20This%20Week%20@NASA%20%E2%80%93%20February%207,%202020
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Drew Morgan take you on a unique tour of the International Space Station shot in one take with two cameras strapped together. Luca and Drew take it in turns to guide you through the modules and spacecraft docked to the orbital outpost.
Starting from the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft that bought Drew to the Space Station, the duo show each module and spacecraft docked with the International Space Station at the time it was recorded around the New Year 2020. Passing colleagues include NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and Christina Koch exercising and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Skripochka.
This is the first tour of the International Space Station with two astronauts presenting and the first done in a single take.
At the time of recording three supply vehicles were docked, the Russian Progress MS-13, Space-X’s Dragon-19 and Northrup Grumman’s Cygnus-12, as well as two astronaut vehicles the Soyuz MS-15 and Soyuz MS-13.
The map overlay graphic erroneously shows the future Nauka module instead of Pirs. The Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module Nauka is planned for launch in the future and will replace Pirs, but we put it on the map already.

On Oct 18, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch performed the first all-woman spacewalk. Koch & Meir replaced a faulty battery charge/discharge unit that failed to activate after a previous spacewalk. This was the fourth spacewalk for Christina Koch and the first for Jessica Meir.
On Friday, Oct. 18, NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir completed NASA’s first all-woman spacewalk. During the 7-hour, 17-minute spacewalk, the pair replaced a failed power controller and completed several other tasks in preparation for future spacewalks.

This timelapse video from the International Space Station shows ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano helping NASA astronauts Andrew Morgan and Christina Koch prepare for a spacewalk on 6 October 2019.
Andrew and Christina worked outside in the vacuum of space for seven hours and one minute to begin the latest round of upgrading the station’s large nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries.
This spacewalk is one of many scheduled for October and November. The first all-female spacewalk is expected to take place during the week of 14 October and Luca is expected to complete his first spacewalk of the Beyond mission later in November.
During his November spacewalks, Luca will work to repair and enhance the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer – a particle physics experiment module that was never designed to be maintained in orbit.

On Friday, Oct. 11, NASA astronauts Andrew Morgan and Christina Koch ventured outside the International Space Station for a 6 hour, 45-minute spacewalk. This was the second in a series of five planned spacewalks to complete battery installation. The duo exited the station’s Quest airlock in their U.S. spacesuits and continued installation of new lithium-ion batteries on the station’s Port-6 truss structure.
Our alien friend Paxi went to visit American astronaut Christina Koch on board the International Space Station. Christina talks about the importance of teachers and shares a story about her favourite teacher at school.
