I have tried and failed to find a higher resolution version of this photo for my monitor background in the Aerospace Engineering class I teach. NASA.gov was a bust. Any suggestions to look elsewhere?Thanks, and have a good one,Mike
This looks like a video frame grab from a 1080p video source, so there really isn't much more resolution to get. (Maybe a few % more for the full 1920x1080 grab, as this screenshot only has 997 lines, but it won't be much better)Higher resolution stills taken by the astronauts (from a similar angle) might be uploaded later. The external video cameras on ISS do not capture video in 4k resolution, AFAIK.
This STA adds 2 command and recovery landing locations for return of the Crew Dragon2 capsule from the International Space Station.
Crew-2 is expected to arrive at the station to overlap with the astronauts that flew on @NASA's @SpaceX Crew-1 mission.The Crew-1 astronauts are scheduled to return in late April or early May. The Crew-2 astronauts will return in fall 2021: go.nasa.gov/2NRezZz
Today #Crew1 sets the record for longest US space capsule mission ever, beating Skylab 4's 84-day record. And we're only halfway through our mission to @Space_Station. We've got more @ISS_Research to do! And more spacewalks too.Today we celebrate...Resilience!
On our 84th day in space Crew-1 extends the record for most days in space for a U.S. human space capsule. Originally set in 1973-74 by the Skylab 4 crew of Gerald Carr, Edward Gibson and William Pogue. Today we had the honor of speaking with Ed.
An astronaut, peering through the window of SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule Resilience, photographs the Russian Progress 77 cargo spacecraft approaching the ISS:
The @SpaceX Crew Dragon has officially been in space for more than 💯 days!The Crew-1 mission launched on Nov. 15, 2020 & arrived at the @Space_Station on Nov. 16, carrying Shannon Walker, @AstroVicGlover, @Astro_illini & @Astro_Soichi. They will return in late April/early May.
SpaceX’s Benji Reed says the Crew-1 vehicle relocation from one docking port to another as soon as the end of this month [March].
Sometimes on a day off, you just have to stare at the clouds. Beautiful views from Crew Dragon Resilience.
Dragon Resilience keeping the ISS crew on their toes. Annunciated false emergency messages for Fire and Rapid Depress as well as other erroneous messages yesterday.ISS crew ran responses for Fire and Rapid depress but stood down once stable readings were confirmed.
ISS: The issue was likely a Single Event Upset (SEU) on avionics box Power Unit 2B (Dragon’s primary 1553 gateway to ISS). The SEU radiation hit caused a processor to reset and output data which the ISS interpreted as a collection of emergencies and off-nominal indications.
ISS Daily Summary Report – 3/24/2021Crew-1 Dragon Status: Overnight Dragon experienced an unexpected wakeup triggered by false ISS emergency alarms caused by erroneous data from the Dragon 1553 driver in one of the power units. The erroneous data was resolved by swapping to the separate power unit string, rebooting, and swapping back to initial configuration to confirm healthy. On console operators completed vehicle reconfiguration, and Dragon is back in fully nominal, quiescent operation. It is believed that the issue was caused by a radiation upset with low likelihood of reoccurrence.
April 5 for the relocation of Crew Dragon Resilience to prepare for the arrival of new crew members in late April and the upcoming delivery of new solar arrays.Resilience will be moved from the Harmony fwd port (to free it for Crew Dragon Endeavour) to the space-facing port.
NASA, SpaceX continue Crew-2 mission reviews while preparing for Crew-1 return Following the latest in a series of reviews for the second crew rotation mission with astronauts on an American rocket and spacecraft from the United States, NASA and SpaceX managers and engineers continue to prepare for launch of the Crew-2 mission to the International Space Station no earlier than 6:11 a.m. EDT Thursday, April 22. Mission teams also are targeting the return of the Crew-1 astronauts on Wednesday, April 28, with undocking about 5 a.m. and splashdown approximately 12:35 p.m. off the coast of Florida.The most recent review on Monday hosted by the International Space Station Program is one of several reviews that include SpaceX and the Commercial Crew Program culminating with the Flight Readiness Review (FRR) April 15. That FRR formally sets the official launch time and date.With Crew-2 mission preparations continuing, Crew-1 astronauts also are preparing to relocate the Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft from one space station docking port to another on April 5 to clear the desired location for Crew-2’s arrival. This is the start of a process that allows Crew-2 to dock to the Harmony Node 2 forward port, freeing up the Node 2 Zenith port – following Crew-1 departure – for extraction of the new solar arrays from the SpaceX CRS-22 cargo mission’s trunk when it arrives.Crew-2 will be the first mission to fly two international partner crew members as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur will serve as spacecraft commander and pilot, respectively. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet will join as mission specialists.Following a short handover, Crew-1 NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, along with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, plan to return home off the coast of Florida about five days after the Crew-2 arrival to the space station as long as mission priorities and weather cooperate.
