Has the OGS repair been scheduled, or even performed?
A Europe-wide education event will link the International Space Station with hundreds of schoolchildren in several European cities. In a live link-up with the ISS, scheduled for 21 September, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne will perform a simple experiment in space to demonstrate the effects of freefall.Read more at:http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMCHM0P0WF_index_0.html
On the Expedition 20/21 mission Frank de Winne is flying for the ESA. His mission is called OasISS.Has ESA released what his OasIss Mission patch will be or a deicated ESA mission Press Kit yet?Can anyone get these for us?

Let me know if you wish to receive one!
Tonight between 5:36pm-7:27pm EDT, TsUP-Moscow is scheduled to conduct a single-burn test reboost of the ISS with Progress 33P.
Didn't they have a problem with the last reboost?
Bob Thirsk unstowed the IRED (Interim Resistive Exercise Device) and installed it in Node-2 and adjusted (tensioned) its canister spiral pulleys in order to increase canister loading. IRED now serves as contingency exercise device as long as the ARED (Advanced RED) is out of commission. [It was discovered yesterday that one of the dashpots (a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction) within the ARED VIS (Vibration Isolation System) is cracked and no longer attached. Ground controllers reviewed the images and gave a No Go for ARED exercise until specialists could review and analyze the anomaly. Instead, the IRED was put back in use.]
With the IRED (Interim Resistive Exercise Device) having been replaced by the ARED (Advanced RED), Bob Thirsk detensioned the device’s cable by removing the preload on it and stretching the Flexpacks in preparation for long-term stowage.
Dang it Houston, I just took that thing apart.
