NG-16 is looking pretty good .Scheduled for July ‘21, our #Slingshot Deployer will be going up on NG-16 for an ABOVE station deployment!
NASA's Stich: If Crew-1 launches on Nov. 14, it's an 8 1/2 hour transit time to the ISS, if we go Nov. 15 it's "back to the normal" 28 hour trip to the space station.

Launchspace Technologies Corp. announced a contract Oct. 28 with Airbus to test its Orbital Debris Collection and Spacecraft Shielding payload for 12 months on the International Space Station Bartolomeo platform.
For the test scheduled to begin in 2022, Launchspace plans to gather data from the Bartolomeo platform with Debris Impact Pads equipped with sensors to record the impact, force and orbital location of debris on the ISS.
Launchspace also is hiring Airbus to return the Debris Collection payload in the ArgUS Multi-Payload Carrier at the conclusion of the mission for post-flight inspection. The ArgUS Carrier is designed to accommodate multiple small payloads at one Bartolomeo site.
With the aim of the initial formation of ballistic conditions before the launch and docking of the Soyuz MS-18 manned transport spacecraft, which are scheduled for the spring of 2021, the next correction of the orbit of the International Space Station is planned for November 12, 2020 22:35 Moscow time.
According to preliminary data from the ballistic and navigation support service of the Flight Control Center of TsNIIMash (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation), after a corrective maneuver lasting 363.5 seconds, the average altitude of the station's orbit will increase by about 1.1 km and will be about 419.43 km above surface of the Earth.
#EIRSAT-1 #CubeSat, built by students at University College Dublin, is expected to launch on Vega in Q1 2021. The #IARU coordinated downlink frequency is 437.100 MHz https://eirsat1.ie/press
#Tausat 3U #CubeSat is expected to be deployed from the #ISS in February 2021. It carries an FM transponder PDF at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByJzUp9kSx_ZUWk2N0U3MnB1Z0EIARU http://amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/formal_detail.php?serialnum=773
CUAVA-1 will be delivered in Q4-2020 to Space-BD in Japan, and is now under development at the University of Sydney and UNSW.
The expected deployment in space for the first Mauritian CubeSat is around February 2021. This will be done by JAXA via the KIBO arm of the International Space Station.

Deputy Director of the Department of Manned Programs of Roscosmos Vladimir Daneev announced the timing of the launch of Russian modules to the ISS:- Multipurpose laboratory "Science" (MLM-U Nauka) - end of April 2021;- Junction "Berth" (UM Prichal)- September 2021;- Scientific and energy (NEM) - 2024.
The Interdepartmental Commission for the Selection of Cosmonauts has approved the main and backup crews of the 65th long-term expedition to the International Space Station. The launch of the Soyuz MS-18 manned transport spacecraft with the crew of this expedition is planned for April 2021 from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
By the decision of the commission, the ISS-65 prime crew included:Oleg Novitsky - ISS-65 commander, Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft commander (Roscosmos);Petr Dubrov - ISS-65 flight engineer, Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft flight engineer (Roscosmos);Sergey Korsakov - ISS-65 flight engineer, Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft flight engineer-2 (Roscosmos).
The backup crew included:Anton Shkaplerov - ISS-65 flight engineer, Soyuz MS spacecraft commander (Roscosmos);Andrey Babkin - ISS-65 flight engineer, Soyuz MS spacecraft flight engineer (Roscosmos);Dmitry Petelin - ISS-65 flight engineer, Soyuz MS spacecraft flight engineer-2 (Roscosmos).
Planning a launch from Kourou in mid 2021 into a 70 degree orbit at approx 5860 km altitude
Nov. 15, Sunday4:20 a.m. – Docking of the SpaceX “Resilience” Crew Dragon and the Crew-1 crew to the International Space Station – Hawthorne, Calif./Johnson Space Center (All Channels)
Oleg Novitsky and Petr Dubrov are working out the cyclogram of extravehicular activity (EVA) on Earth. In the hydro laboratory (GL) of the CTC, where preliminary tests of the complex are underway, taking into account the real program of spacewalks, O. Novitsky and P. Dubrov performed under water operations of the upcoming EVA-51 and EVA-52 on the model of the new ISS module "Science"
EVA-51 and EVA-52 are planned for the duration of the crew of the 65th long-term expedition to the ISS.

MOSCOW, November 5. / TASS /. The crew of the next expedition, which will leave for the International Space Station (ISS) in April 2021, will perform two spacewalks to work with the European manipulator ERA of the Nauka module, said Valery, control instructor of the Russian Cosmonaut Training Center (CTC) for extreme training. Nesmeyanov."The actions of the cosmonauts on the outer surface of the International Space Station will be associated with the integration of the Nauka module into the Russian segment of the station. Both exits are directly aimed at working with the European manipulator ERA [European Robotic Arm], which will need to be transferred from the transport position to the working position." his words are quoted in a message posted on the CPC website on Thursday.
