Science and technology, explained simply
A leak occurred in the Russian module attached to the International Space Station, which led to the release of liquid into space. This coolant leak is the third major leak from the Russian spacecraft to occur on the ISS in the last 12 months. In December, NASA had to postpone a spacewalk after a coolant […]

As previously reported, SpaceX is authorized to launch 12,000 satellites and has applied for permission to launch another 30,000 Starlink satellites. This is a huge number. SpaceX launches satellites into space in batches of 56 and 22 satellites at a time, depending on the version of the satellite. Starlink v1.5 is much smaller than Starlink […]
NASA has selected companies to participate in the Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities-2 (CCSC) program, which aims to develop new commercial space stations and technologies in low Earth orbit (LEO). The first iteration of the CCSC was launched in December 2014, when the agency signed contracts with ATK, Final Frontier Design, SpaceX and United Launch […]
Last week, the second crew of private space tourists from Axiom Space (Ax-2) on the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station for an eight-day vacation. This morning, the crew returned to Earth. But staying in microgravity was not very pleasant for some space tourists. NASA hinted that the crew had difficulties […]
So far, the company has shown the design of only one module of the space station, but it is very interesting. In 2030, the International Space Station will end its operation. That is why NASA is actively working with private contractors to create its successors to the ISS. Currently, the main players in this market […]
On the night of December 15, another incident occurred in the Russian part of the International Space Station (ISS) – as a result of an unknown event, a ‘significant leak of an unknown substance’ occurred from the aft part of the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which is currently docked with the ‘Dawn’ module.
