SpaceX is targeting Saturday, August 3 for Falcon 9’s launch of Northrop Grumman’s 21st Cygnus mission (NG-21) to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 11:29 a.m. ET, with a backup launch opportunity available on Sunday, August 4 at 11:02 a.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 20 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.This is the tenth flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES ASTRA 1P, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.Aboard the Cygnus spacecraft are tests of water recovery technology, a process to produce stem cells in microgravity, studies of the effects of spaceflight on microorganism DNA, liver tissue growth, and live science demonstrations for students.

The project was concluded in 2023 prior to a flight demonstration with valuable lessons learned and project data maintained for use in future projects.
SPARCS will be ready for launch by the end 2024 and launched as a ride-share to a Sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit in early 2025.
The next stage of training for a Pole for a mission to the ISSAugust 2, 2024On August 5, Polish project astronaut of the European Space Agency (ESA), Dr. Sławosz Uznański, begins the practical part of the training in preparation for the Polish mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is planned for 2025.In the first stage, the training will take place at Axiom Space, NASA and SpaceX centers located in the United States. In addition to the Pole, the AX-4 mission crew will include representatives of Hungary and India.AX-4 mission composition:Peggy Whitson (USA) – mission commanderSławosz Uznański (Poland/ESA) – mission specialistShubhanshu Shukla (India) – mission pilotTibor Kapu (Hungary) – mission specialistThe crew members must still receive approval from the international committee responsible for the International Space Station – the Multilateral Crew Operations Panel (MCOP), which includes representatives of all five international ISS partners: NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, JAXA and the Canadian Space Agency.The mission is scheduled to launch next year from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flight to the ISS will be carried out by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which will carry the Dragon crew capsule into orbit. As part of the mission, the astronauts will spend about 14 days on the International Space Station.AX-4 will be the next commercial crew mission of Axiom Space. The participation of the Pole in this mission is the result of an agreement signed between the Ministry of Development and Technology and ESA to prepare and conduct a Polish technological mission to the ISS. On the Polish side, the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) is also involved in preparing the mission, as the executive agency of the Ministry of Development and Technology.

September 2024 Handover to JAXA Launch by Dragon Deployment from ISS
The experimental satellite, called LignoSat, was developed by researchers at Kyoto University and the Japanese logging company Sumitomo Forestry. It is set to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) in September, after which it will be deployed into orbit, according to the Japan Times.

Posted on July 29, 2024 by Andy TomaswickTaking a High-Resolution Ultraviolet Image of the Sun’s Corona Will Require VISORSSometimes, brainstorming does work. In 2019, America’s National Science Foundation (NSF) held the CubeSat Ideas Lab, a shindig that brought together some of the world’s best CubeSat designers. One outcome of that shindig is the Virtual Super-Resolution Optics with Reconfigurable Swarms, or VISORS, mission. Expected to launch in October, this mission will be a proof of concept for many swarming technologies in CubeSats. Hopefully, It will also capture a pretty impressive picture of the Sun’s corona.
VISORS is due for launch in October 2024 on SpaceX Transporter-12.

Ryan Tintner, vice president of civil space systems at Northrop Grumman, hedged on the call when asked if the new Antares will be ready to handle Cygnus missions after the Falcon 9 launch of the NG-22 mission, currently projected for the spring of 2025. “I don’t think I can give specific timelines” about the readiness of Antares, he said. “That is progressing as planned here and we’re on track.”
