  • Grand tour of the International Space Station with Drew and Luca | Single take

    Grand tour of the International Space Station with Drew and Luca | Single take

    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.

    ESAHangout: Preparing for Rosetta’s grand finale

    ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft is set to complete its incredible mission in a controlled descent to the surface of Comet 67P/C-G on 30 September. Mission experts joined an ESA Hangout on 19 September to discuss Rosetta’s final days and hours of operation, including expectations for the images and other scientific data that will be collected as the spacecraft gets closer and closer to the surface. They also discuss the exciting discovery of Philae that was made earlier this month. 

    Hangout guests:
    Andrea Accomazzo, Flight operations director 
    Sylvain Lodiot, Rosetta spacecraft operations manager
    Claire Vallat or Richard Moissl (TBC), Rosetta science ground segment liaison scientist 
    Laurence O’Rourke, Rosetta downlink science operations manager (lander search coordinator) 

    Moderated by Emily Baldwin, Space Science Editor.
