So if you're in California, the reentry of Crew 11's dragon spacecraft should be visible just after 12:30am tonight, look west and it'll appear as a bright, slow moving meteor.
If you're in SoCal you might even hear the sonic boom.

The long term plan is a million people on Mars, of which over 10,000 would die each year even if Mars were no more dangerous than Denmark.

Q&A Section / Re: Why no Starlink on ISS?

« Last post by mn on Today at 10:32 pm »

When I made my comment/question, I was only thinking of it as running a CAT-5 from the Dragon to a switch on the ISS.  Nothing more complicated.  And if the docking adapter has a network connection already, then all the easier.

ISS uses a MIL-STD-1553 serial bus and not ethernet

Pretty sure that at least part of the ISS uses Ethernet (https://www.cablinginstall.com/design-install/article/16479610/astronauts-install-ethernet-cables-on-international-space-station)

The flight critical buses are 1553 and probably will remain so for the life of the program.

The station has had Ethernet since the beginning and has gradually been expanding its use cases but it's still non-critical.

Since the discussion here is specifically about communication, so out of curiosity, do the flight critical buses communicate to earth via TDRS directly? (or perhaps any data is somehow brought over to the ethernet side and that is what is connected to TDRS?)
