ISS: Installation of BEAM - 04/2016 - Bigelow Expandable Activity Module installation - 04/2016 - Installation of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) on the International Space Station (ISS) on 16 April 2016. This experimental habitable module is intended to test the technique of inflatable space habitat. The module, whose internal volume pressurized once deployed is 16 m3, will be tested for 2 years. The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) was installed to the International Space Station on April 16, 2016 at 5:36 a.m. EDT. Following extraction from Spacex's Dragon cargo craft using the Canadarm2 robotic arm, ground controllers installed the expandable module to the aft port of Tranquility. Astronauts will enter BEAM on an occasional basis to conduct tests to validate the module's overall performance and the capability of expandable habitats

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) is an uninhabited spacecraft of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by a scattering of clouds over part of Earth, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009

ATV Jules Verne - The Jules Verne ATV - View of the first European automatic cargo ship ATV christens Jules Verne, leaving the international space station on 5 September 2008. Designed to supply the station with various equipment, the ATV, with several tons of fuel on board, is used to bring the station back into its orbit. Jules Verne moored at the station April 3, 2008. 5 Sept. 2008 - Backdropped by a blanket of clouds, European Space Agency's (ESA) “” Jules Verne”” Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) continues its relative separation from the International Space Station. The ATV undocked from the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at 4:29 p.m. (CDT) on Sept. 5, 2008 and was placed in a parking orbit for three weeks, scheduled to be deorbited on Sept. 29 when lighting conditions are correct for an ESA imagery experiment of reentry

Module Destiny (ISS) 02/2001 - The Destiny laboratory (ISS) 02/2001 - Maintained by Atlantis Arm the Destiny laboratory, transported by shuttle, is removed from its storage place. ISS STS-98. 12/02/2001. In the grasp of the shuttle's remote manipulator system (RMS) robot arm, the Destiny laboratory is moved from its stowage position in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The photo was taken by astronaut Thomas D. Jones, who was participating in one of three STS - 98/5a space walks at the time. Astronaut Robert L. Curbeam (out of frame) also made the three space walks. Feb 12 2001

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) is an uninhabited spacecraft of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by a scattering of clouds over part of Earth, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009

Cananea Copper Mine - Mexico - Cananea Copper Mine - Sonora - Mexico: The Cananea Mine is an open pit copper and gold mine located in Mexico. Its production began in 1899. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on March 3, 2008. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world, the Cananea mine produced over 164,000 tonnes of copper in 2006. The mine is located approximately 40 km south of the border between the USA (Arizona) and Mexico (Sonora). Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. A porphyry - an igneous rock with large crystals in a fine-grained matrix - is formed as the magma cools and crystallizes. While crystallization is occurring, hot fluids can circulate through the magma and surrounding rocks via fractures. This hydrothermal alteration of the rocks typically forms copper-bearing and other minerals. The active, 2 km in dia

This inflatable habitat, much larger than any existing ISS module, is a combination of layers of flexible material capped by sturdy docking hardware at either end. The inflatable portion is collapsed and sandwiched between the docking hardware portions for launch from earth and then inflated and pressurized with a breathable atmosphere once in orbit. The habitat features a pair of 42 x 24 inch windows to the outside. The habitat is attached to a pressurized module of the ISS via a Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM) while the other end of the habitat features an International Docking System Standard (IDSS) system for docking with manned spacecraft.

NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, with assistance from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata, both Expedition 38 flight engineers, used the station's 57 - foot Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach Cygnus from the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node at 5:15 a.m. (EST) on Feb. 18, 2014. While Wakata monitored data and kept in contact with the team at Houston's Mission Control Center, Hopkins released Cygnus from the robotic arm at 6:41 a.m. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene

ISS: the Earth seen from Cupola - ISS: Earth from Cupola - First picture of Earth obtained from the new Cupola module of the International Space Station (ISS). One can see part of the Sahara through the seven windows of the module. 17 February 2010. This image is the first taken through a first of its kind “” bay window”” on the International Space Station, the seven - windowed Cupola. The image shows the Sahara Desert spread out through the array of windows. The Cupola will house controls for the station robotics and will be a location where crew members can operate the robotic arms and monitor other exterior activities. February 17, 2010

H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - 07/2012 - The H - II Transfer Vehicle (or HTV) while docking to the Harmony module of the International Space Station (ISS) by the robotic arm of the station. The HTV is an uninhabited spaceship of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on 27 July 2012. In the grasp of the International Space Station's Canadarm2, the unpiloted Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV - 3) is berthed to the Earth - facing port of the station's Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 10:34 a.m. (EDT) on July 27, 2012. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene. 27 July 2012

One of the STS - 88 astronauts aimed a 35 mm camera through Endeavour's aft flight deck windows to record this Dec. 5 image of the Unity connecting module as it was being unberthed in the cargo bay. The berthing and mating process constituted the first link in a long chain of events that led up to the eventual deployment in Earth orbit of the connected Unity and Zarya modules later in the 11 - day mission.

Houston Training Pool - NBL facilities (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) - The Houston Pool (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) is used for astronaut training. Measuring 60 metres long, 30 metres wide and 12 metres deep, this basin hosts models of the International Space Station modules allowing astronauts to train in a state close to weightlessness on their future outings into space. The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory pool at Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where astronauts, wearing a 65 - kg Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit, practice spacewalking and working outside the International Space Station during underwater simulated extravehicular activities (EVAs). This facility consists in a 60 - m - long, 30 - m - wide and 12 - m - deep water reservoir, with a capacity of 23,500 cubic meters. Two overhead bridge cranes are used to display mock space station modules for training. The spacesuit buoyancy provides a simulated weightlessness for astronaut trainees. Most ESA astro
