More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Just how do we have these stunning images to share? Here's how -- Inside the Cupola on the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, an Expedition 36 flight engineer, uses a 400mm lens on a digital still camera to photograph a target of opportunity on Earth some 250 miles below him and the space station.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy (pictured) and Tom Marshburn (out of frame) completed the 5-hour, 30-minute spacewalk on May 11, 2013 to inspect and replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss leaking ammonia coolant. A leak of ammonia coolant from the area near or at the location of a Pump and Flow Control Subassembly was detected on May 9, 2013, prompting engineers and flight controllers to begin plans to support the spacewalk. The device contains the mechanical systems that drive the cooling functions for the port truss.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: With his feet secured on a restraint on the space station remote manipulator system's robotic arm or Canadarm2, NASA astronaut Mike Fossum (center) holds the Robotics Refueling Mission payload, which was the focus of one of the primary chores accomplished on a six and a half hour spacewalk on July 12. The failed pump module is with DEXTRE on left side of the photo. NASA astronauts Fossum and Ron Garan performed the six-hour, 31-minute spacewalk, which represents the final scheduled extravehicular activity during shuttle missions in July 2011. Among Atlantis’s final contributions to the ISS is the Robotic Refueling Mission, developed at Goddard Space Flight Center. Atlantis brought this module to the International Space Station, where it will provide key support in maintaining future spacecrafts for years to come. STS-135 astronauts traveled to Goddard to complete special training for these robotics, a major component of the final shuttle mission.

Smith retrieves a power tool while standing on the mobile foot restraint at the end of the remote manipulator system. Many of the tools required to service the Hubble Space Telescope are stored on the handrail attached to the remote manipulator system visible in the photograph from 1999.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Astronaut Sunita L. Williams, Expedition 14 flight engineer, used a pistol grip tool as she worked on the International Space Station during a 7-hour 55-minute spacewalk that took place on Jan. 31, 2007. Williams and station commander Michael E. Lopez-Alegria (out of frame) reconfigured one of two cooling loops for the Destiny laboratory module, rearranged electrical connections and secured the starboard radiator of the P6 truss after retraction.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: The Hubble Space Telescope is seen in a picture snapped by a Servicing Mission 4 crewmember just after the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured Hubble with its robotic arm on May 13, 2009, beginning the mission to upgrade and repair the telescope. Hubble is a national asset and an invaluable international scientific resource that has revolutionized modern astronomy. To achieve its full potential, the telescope will continue to conduct extensive, integrated scientific observations, including follow-up work on its many discoveries. Although the telescope has numerous redundant parts and safemode systems, such a complex spacecraft could not be designed with sufficient backups to handle every contingency during a mission lasting more than 24 years. Orbital servicing was the key to keeping Hubble in operating condition to this very day. Image credit: NASA #nasa #space #iss #spacepix #gravity #oscars2014 #oscars #realgravity #oscarceremony; -
More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, is seen further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut has ever been on Feb. 12, 1984. This space first was made possible by the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU, a nitrogen jet propelled backpack. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Space Shuttle Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This stunning orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: This unique photographic angle, features the International Space Station's Cupola and crew activity inside it, other hardware belonging to the station, city lights on Earth and airglow. It was captured by one of the Expedition 28 crew members. The major urban area on the coast is Brisbane, Australia. The station was passing over an area southwest of Canberra.

A major winter storm is poised to wallop the Mid-Atlantic and bring large amounts of snow to cities including Baltimore, Md., Washington, D.C. area on March 2 and 3, according to NOAA's National Weather Service. NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured this image of the clouds associated with the winter storm as it continued moving east toward those cities. The clouds are associated with a cold from that stretches from eastern Maine through Maryland and west into the Tennessee Valley. The low pressure center associated with the front was located over Arkansas. At NASA/NOAA's GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. the cloud data from NOAA's GOES-East satellite were overlaid on a true-color image of land and ocean created by data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites. Together, those data created the entire picture of the position of this major winter storm. IMAGE CREDIT: NASA/NOAA #science #noaa #nasa #space #satellite #storm #rain #weather; -
A mock-up of NASA’s Orion spacecraft recently took an east coast journey from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., in preparation for future testing at Langley’s Landing and Impact Research Facility. Testing will give engineers insight into how the capsule performs under a variety of ocean and landing conditions. This fall, the Orion spacecraft will fly on its first uncrewed mission, known as Exploration Flight Test-1, where it will travel 3,600 miles above Earth before reentering the atmosphere at a speed of approximately 20,000 mph (32,187 kph) and temperatures of close to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,204 degrees Celsius) for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

Hubble Catches Cosmic Cloak of Red - This stunning new Hubble image shows a small part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest galaxies to our own. This collection of small baby stars, most weighing less than the sun, form a young stellar cluster known as LH63. This cluster is still half-embedded in the cloud from which it was born, in a bright star-forming region known as the emission nebula LHA 120-N 51, or N51. This is just one of the hundreds of star-forming regions filled with young stars spread throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud. The burning red intensity of the nebulae at the bottom of the picture illuminates wisps of gas and dark dust, each spanning many light-years. Moving up and across, bright stars become visible as sparse specks of light, giving the impression of pin-pricks in a cosmic cloak. Looking for and at low-mass stars can help us to understand how stars behave when they are in the early stages of formation, and can give us an idea of how the Sun might have looked billions of years ago.
