Chacun des hublots est fait de plusieurs lamelles de verre de qualité optique qui permettent de résister aux impacts des micrométéorites et qui peuvent être remplacées. Chaque hublot est équipé d’un volet de protection qui peut être fermé manuellement (Source).
Et c’est aussi un lieu de prédilection pour le repos et la méditation que les membres d’équipage se partagent.
Durant les dernières semaines on y a beaucoup vu l’astronaute Scott Kelly, frère jumeau de Mark Kelly futur commandant de la mission STS-134 et conjoint de Gabrielle Giffords la représentante au congrès américain qui a reçu une balle dans la tête il y a quelque temps à Tucson.

Et le spectacle qui s’offre sous les hublots de Cupola est saisissant. La station faisant presque deux fois complètement le tour de notre planète en une heure, les phases de jour et de nuit se succèdent rapidement offrant une vue magnifique la nuit des zones densément peuplées.
L’éclairage que l’on pourrait presque qualifier de pollution lumineuse dans certains cas donne un éclat éblouissant depuis l’espace à nos grandes métropoles que les astronautes s’empressent de saisir avec les appareils photo numériques à leur disposition.

Je vous propose 13 vues différentes de notre planète dans la galerie ci-dessous qui représentent soit des pays, soit des villes densément peuplés donc très visibles depuis l’espace.

Chinese astronauts

Astronauts tell students about Shenzhou IX feat

Updated: 2012-08-13

Space technology fever heated up on Sunday as the Shenzhou IX astronauts disclosed moredetails of June's manned space docking to a group of university students. Some 500 students from different colleges in the city filled an auditorium at the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon for a face-to-face meeting with the threeastronauts, Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and Liu Yang. 

The astronauts answered questions about complicated rendezvous, docking technologies andspace life. In a surprise twist, students were also tested by the astronauts.

Veteran astronaut Jing Haipeng suddenly asked: "How did we bring fruit to space?" 

A young man tried to answer but failed. Then Jing explained that all the fruit that is brought issliced into pieces and dried using a special technique. Zhou Jianping, chief designer of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, also told thestudents about the three phases of China's manned space program. He said that one morespace laboratory, a manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft will be launched. 

By 2020,China's first near-earth manned space station will be established and become operational. Responding to a question raised by a student from the Hong Kong University of Science andTechnology about when China will send astronauts to the moon and maybe even Mars, Zhouanswered that he believes it "won't take too long" to realize the Chinese people's old dream offlying to the moon. He pointed out that reaching Mars still requires a series of technologicalbreakthroughs. 

Earlier, the three astronauts started the third day of their Hong Kong trip at the Peak in themorning to overlook the city's iconic harbor view. Subsequently, they attended the openingceremony of an exhibition on China's first manned space docking mission at the Hong KongScience Museum. 

The 15day exhibition presents a number of items to give visitors a better picture of themanned rendezvous and docking mission between Tiangong-1 space station and Shenzhou IXspacecraft that was successfully completed in June. The exhibits include the re-entry capsule of Shenzhou IX, which was used by the threeastronauts to return to earth. 

At the exhibition, visitors can get a real look at how the three astronauts lived. A four-minutevideo recorded the trio eating and drinking, conducting medical experiments, as well asexercising with a riding cycle ergometer and pulley machine. A total of 100 photos will also be exhibited as well as the traditional Chinese knot made by LiuYang and her spacesuit. 

The trio arrived in Hong Kong on Friday for a four-day goodwill tour. On Saturday, they talkedabout their years of hard astronaut training experiences with 1,400 local primary andsecondary students. The astronauts also revealed their versatility at a welcome gala show heldby the Hong Kong government on Saturday afternoon.

News Will Never Report about It...

This Is Humanity’s Greatest Achievement, But Mainstream News Will Never Report It

Some day it’s entirely possible that the human race will be wiped out. Maybe we’ll do it ourselves, maybe we’ll be taken out by a rogue asteroid, or maybe we’ll survive until the sun turns into a red giant and burns away the Earth’s crust. Maybe we’ll make it out of the solar system in time to colonize other planets before that happens, but even if we don’t, somewhere out there in the universe at least something will survive as a signpost to say “hey we were here”.

Voyager 1, the space probe originally launched by NASA back in 1977, has escaped the solar system. It’s the first man made object ever to leave our solar system, the first tangible evidence, to any creature which might be out there in the universe, that we are here and we exist. I can’t think of anything bigger or more important.

It’s taken 35-years but The Atlantic says that over the last few weeks Voyager 1 has been leaving our solar system’s heliosphere, that’s the last part of what is officially considered our solar system, before it enters uncharted and unknown deep space. The heliosphere is a bubble of charged particles surrounding our solar system and, since the Voyager was built to last, it’s been reporting back on what it finds there via radio. It’s detecting the heliosphere’s energy particles around it and beginning to detect increased heat, as it boldly goes where humanity has never been before.

Voyager 1 is now 11,100,000,000 miles away from the little blue dot called Earth, the only place in the universe where you can find an intelligent race called “humanity”.

Walking on the moon, splitting the atom, both great achievements, but ultimately fleeting. If the Earth is destroyed tomorrow, there will be no sign that any of it ever happened. But Voyager 1 will keep going. No matter what happens to us now, in Voyager 1, we know that at least some piece of us will continue on. That’s huge.

Think about it for a second. We’ve sent something out of the solar system. This is humanity screaming as loudly as it can out into the cosmos. To the cosmos and anything listening out in it, our voice is only the tiniest, almost undetectable whisper; yet for the first time in the billions of years this universe has existed, there’s something out there delivering the most important message humanity will ever send…

“We are here. We are here. We are here.”

It’s the only message that matters. This is the most important thing humanity has ever done. Tune in to your local news tomorrow night. They won’t be talking about it. They won’t be talking about it because we no longer care, but maybe we should. To the universe, we’re just a tiny little speck. But this speck has a voice. Maybe it’s time we shouted louder.

NASA reports that Voyager 1 has enough battery life to keep reporting back until the year 2020. After that it goes silent, it will become a dead relic drifting endlessly through the stars. Maybe someday, someone or something will find it and wonder who made it. Maybe they won’t. But even if we never do shout any louder, Voyager will be out there, sailing through the cosmos. Somewhere out there is tangible evidence of an intelligent race of people which once lived on a tiny blue speck and reached out into the stars to shout: We are here! We are here!

Chat with astronauts

SIX SCHOOLS CHOSEN NATIONWIDE

Wickliffe students will chat with NASA astronauts

By Pamela Willis

ThisWeek Community NewsSaturday August 11, 2012 1:11 PM

If space is "the final frontier," then Wickliffe Progressive School students are space explorers this month as they prepare to chat live with astronauts on the International Space Station.

Wickliffe was selected by NASA as one of six schools in the nation to participate in a live downlink to the International Space Station on Aug. 28.

Outgoing Parent Teacher Organization president Margaret Kennedy said the school applied for the downlink nearly a year ago through NASA's Teaching From Space program.

"We heard that we had been selected in late May, so we wanted to plan a couple of school events that would help students prepare for the downlink," she said.

One of those events was a trip to Perkins Observatory in Delaware County on Saturday, Aug. 4.

Kennedy said about 60 students and their parents went to the observatory at a late hour for most school events -- 9 p.m.

"The weather was not cooperative in terms of looking at planets and stars, because storms were rolling in," she said. "But Tom Burns from the observatory directed the program and the children got to see the telescope and what they would normally see in a nighttime sky through a computer program."

She said the school will try another stargazing night at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, at Wickliffe, for an outdoor movie night that begins with the launch of water rockets.

"Our teachers wanted us to prepare some type of continuing education experience over the summer so that all grades of students would have a chance to learn more about space before the downlink," Kennedy said.

Kennedy said the movie, Fly Me to the Moon, will be shown on an outdoor screen as soon as it gets dark enough that night, then parents and students will stick around for a chance to see the International Space Station fly over at 10:20 p.m.

She said the live chat on Aug. 28 will not be open to parents and community members, because of the school's space limitations, just staff and students -- and possibly a few dignitaries-- school officials are hoping will show up, including President Barack Obama.

"We invited him, along with former astronaut John Glenn and some local dignitaries, but we don't have any confirmation yet on who will actually be there," Kennedy said.

The live chat with astronauts will happen sometime during the morning of Aug. 28; an exact time has not been announced yet.

"The kids were asked to submit questions for the astronauts at the end of last school year. I think we were allowed 20 questions," Kennedy said.

She said the school's float for the July 4 parade in Upper Arlington was space-themed, depicting a model of the International Space Station.

Kennedy said parents are probably more excited than the students are, even though most parents won't be allowed to attend the live chat.

"One thing that parents have been talking about is whether our kids know how special an honor this is," she said. "We are amazed by this whole process. We wonder how many schools applied and how we got to be one of the six chosen.

"We wonder if the kids will just think of that day as another day at school," she said. "But we think that someday, they will be amazed at the experience and think it was really cool."

Союз в Гвиане * Soyuz in Guiana

Soyuz in Guiana * Союз в Гвиане

This is the mythical rocket par excellence, the one that launched Sputnik, the first satellite and Gagarin, the first man in space. The CSG, Guiana Space Centre, is now one of its launch bases: a historic achievement. 

Gallery

Legacy of the Franco-Russian co-operation agreement
There is no doubt that the arrival of the Soyuz in French Guiana did not come about in the twinkling of an eye. As Yannick d’Escatha, President of the CNES, highlighted in the above video, although the project is being carried out under the banner of the ESA, European Space Agency, it is also “le fruit de 45 ans de coopération spatiale entre la France et la Russie” (the fruit of 45 years of space co-operation agreements between France and Russia). Indeed, the two countries set up a productive scientific collaboration agreement in the space field, even during the time of the Soviet Union. We would reiterate that the first Frenchman in space, Jean-Loup Chrétien, blasted off in 1982 to the Soviet station Saliout 7 aboard a Soyuz spaceship... atop a Soyuz rocket (the spaceship and the rocket have the same name, the rocket was previously dubbed R-7 or Semiorka).
After the fall of the Soviet Union and its economic system, the Russian space industry found itself with a blatant lack of finance whilst possessing an obvious know-how. A new form of co-operation agreement, no longer just scientific, but also commercial, came into being in order to sell satellite launch services using the Soyuz rocket. Arianespace (main shareholders: the CNES and manufacturers EADS and Safran), the company tasked with commercialising the European Ariane family rockets, was then to include the legendary Russian rocket in its “catalogue”. The Russo-European company Starsem was founded in 1996 for this purpose. It unites EADS, Arianespace, the Russian Space Agency and TsSKB-Progress (or Samara Space Centre). The latter, situated 860 km south-east of Moscow, manufactures the Soyuz rocket, masterpiece of its head designer, engineer Sergei Korolev (1907-1966). And when we talk about masterpiece: just think that this rocket sent the first satellite into orbit (Sputnik in 1957), the first living being into orbit (Laïka the dog that same year), the first man (Yuri Gagarin in 1961) and the first woman (Valentina Tereshkova in 1963) into space, etc.

The Cupola Module * It's an observation...

The Cupola * (english / italian) 

The Cupola was built in Italy by Thales Alenia Space, for NASA and financed by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of an exchange agreement between ESA and NASA for the transportation of 5 European external payloads. 
The Cupola is an observation and control module built in Europe under Italian supervision as part of an exchange with NASA. 
As the name itself suggests, the module has a dome design employing 6 radial windows of trapezoidal shape and a circular window at the top measuring approximately 80 cm in diameter. 
Each porthole was developed using advanced technology to protect the silicium made panels from years of exposure to solar radiation, and impact from lose objects. 
Other than housing the control center and its equipment, the Cupola will offer astronauts in orbit a observation point of so to carry out robotic operations outside the Space Station. Including monitoring duties, coupling operations for approaching vehicles, and space walks. 
Due to the clear visual of earth and surrounding celestial bodies the Cupola (cupola) can be used for a wide variety of scientific applications, such as Earth, atmospheric and the universe observation, while at the same time Cupola offering important psychological benefits to the crew.

NASA Challenges Students to Train Like Astronauts

Good Is / Projects 

http://www.good.is/projects

Everybody knows that if you want to be an astronaut, you need to have top-notch math and science skills. But astronauts also need the strength and muscle coordination to navigate a zero-gravity environment, so even the best students can't cut it at NASA unless their bodies are in top shape, too. To help the next generation of students become physically and mentally prepared to be astronauts, NASA is taking a page out of First Lady Michelle Obama's fitness playbook and launching the Train Like an Astronaut project.

The program, which is developed by the same NASA scientists and fitness professionals that work with current astronauts, provides "structured, hands-on science activities" and connects "physical Earth-based needs to the requirements of exploring space." Each mission—"Do a Spacewalk," for example—contains a student-friendly "mission briefing, mission assignment, and mission purpose, plus vocabulary and related NASA facts," as well as information about proper nutrition. The missions and corresponding teachers' guides are downloadable in both English and Spanish, and are aligned with health and physical fitness education standards.

Charles Lloyd, NASA's human research program education and outreach manager, says one of NASA's goals is "to inspire our youth to stay in school and master professions in the sciences and engineering fields" so they can carry on the important work of space exploration. Let's hope Train Like an Astronaut catches on in schools so we can ensure there's a next generation of fit explorers.

GOOD is a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits pushing the world forward. Since 2006 we've been making a magazine, videos, and events for people who give a damn.

What Is GOOD?

In a world where things too often don’t work, GOOD seeks a path that does. Left, right. In, out. Greed, altruism. Us, them. These are the defaults and they are broken. We are the alternative model. We are the reasonable people who give a damn. No dogma. No party lines. No borders. We care about what works--what is sustainable, prosperous, productive, creative, and just--for all of us and each of us. This isn’t easy, but we are not afraid to fail. We’ll figure it out as we go.

Call it a new party, call it a 21st century collaboration, call it an army, call it your new home. Or just call it GOOD.

We are people, businesses, moms, kids, artists, organizations, policymakers, students, teachers, and engineers. All united in one simple idea, each elevated by being connected. Let’s do what works and never default to what doesn’t. Join us, and together we’ll power what works.
