Spotted ISS pass by last night at L-3. Soyuz gets there in 3 hours and 20 minutes. I wondered how it happens so fast - ISS does a reboost as well so their orbits are perfectly timed to sync up. There is also a slight attitude change of ISS. That reboost happen several days ago…


The Soyuz rolled to the pad this morning Baikonur style: carried horizontally on a railcar, gliding across the steppe at sunrise. At the pad, hydraulic arms lift it upright and the four counterweighted “tulip” petals close around the base. There are no hold-down bolts—at ignition…

“The night is dark and full of wonders”Thanks to Dr James Pavela for letting me take a few photos of him while we are in quarantine. The purpose of quarantine is to avoid infections in space. Nonetheless, there have been on the order of 10 cases of respiratory infections since…

Baikanur Kazakhstan is filled with treasures from the early space race. I’m definitely putting the many museums in my travel guide. You can see the relay that launched the first human to space, shown here. You put in a key, turned it, and then pressed the launch button.…

There are many traditions when launching from Baikanur Cosmodrome. Many of them date back to 1961 when Yuri Gagarin launched from site 1. We still do them today in preparation for @Astro_ChrisW launch in 11/27 - like tree planting. On the front left is Yuri’s tree. Chris and…

Early morning workout with @Astro_ChrisW … in 10 days all of his running will be on T2 which is the treadmill on space station. Without exercise he might lose 1-3% of his bone mass per month. The treadmill prevents that with foot strikes providing a linear force to stimulate…

Glad to have @annawmenon back on planet earth with the rest of the @polarisprogram crew. Even put on our lucky Compton shirts with @haleykesparza which was the same shirt we wore on Demo-2, Crew-1, Crew-2, and Crew-3. We pulled it out for Polaris after the slips and, for the…

Last call before @polarisprogram returns from space. @annawmenon called via FaceTime on @spacex Starlink. The whole family was poised to surprise her. She was shocked to see everyone dressed up in space costumes (minus princess Elsa who was just going to be a princess no…
