Hiina valmistub teiseks kosmoselennuks

Hiina RV teine kosmosemissioon peaks startima 13. oktoobril, mil kosmoselaevas Shenzou läkitatakse orbiidile kaks astronauti.

Oktoobris 2003 sai Hiinast kolmas riik maailmas, kes oma jõududega inimese kosmosesse on saatnud. Esimeseks Hiina astronaudiks oli Yang Liwei.

Hiinal on käsil laiaulatuslik kosmoseprogramm, mille käigus kavatsetakse 2010 aastaks saata Kuule mehitamata sond ning hiljem ehitada kosmosejaam.

Cryosat stardib 8. oktoobril

Euroopa Kosmoseagentuuri uurimistehiskaaslane Cryosat, mille missiooniks on kolme aasta jooksul uurida Maa pooluseid ning aidata ennustada nende sulamisega kaasnevaid kliimamuutusi, ootab praegu Plessetski kosmodroomil Põhja-Venemaal starti, mis peaks kõigi eelduste kohaselt toimuma 8. oktoobril.

Uus satelliit on senistest parema tehnikaga ja võimaldab tunduvalt suuremat täpsust.

Expedition-12 meeskond stardib 1. oktoobril

Rahvusvahelise Kosmosejaama 12. meeskond Expedition-12 stardib Baikonuri kosmodroomilt kosmoselaeval Sojuz TMA-7 1. oktoobri hommikul kell 6:54 Ida-Euroopa aja järgi.
Meeskonda kuulub kaks inimest, kosmonaut Valeri Tokarev ja astronaut William MacArthur, kellega liitub ajaloo kolmanda kosmoseturistina Princetoni ülikooli teadlane Gregory Olsen, kes väidetavalt maksis reisi eest 20 miljonit dollarit.
Olsen saabub Maale tagasi koos Expedition-11 meeskonnaga 11. oktoobril.

Starti kannab otse üle telekanal EuroNews.

Kosmosesüstik Atlantis startis edukalt

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/5330850.stm

Süstik startis kell 11:15 kohaliku aja järgi ning jõudis orbiidile 9 minutit hiljem. Starti oli enne mitu korda ilmastikust tingit asjaoludel edasi lükatud. Missiooni STS-115 eesmärgiks on jätkata Rahvusvahelise Kosmosejaama (ISS) ehitust.

Cassini on olnud edukas laev. Tema Saturni flyby pilt Io'st on üks mu lemmik kosmosepiltidest.

Eelmisel nädalal jõudis ka NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter oma orbiidile. Tema 'science phase' algab Novembris. MRO peaks olema kõige kaasaegsem kosmosesond, tõeline emalaev kelle ülesandeks jääb Marsi kaardistamine ja Marsi roverite juhtimine. Tema peamine pildikaamera HiRISE resolutsioon on 30cm/pixel (võrdluseks NASA MGS'il on 150cm/pixel ja ESA ME'l on 200cm/pixel), ootan huviga sellega tehtud pilte.

Rover Opportunity jõuab varsti Victoria kraatri juurde. Ootan huviga tulevat pildimaterjali. Opportunity ligi 3 aasta pikkune teekond:

Pilt Victoria kraatrist (kraatri diameeter ~800m).


Originaalpilt on http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/images/TRA/TRA_000873_1780/Victoria-color-annot.jpg (reso 4045x5085 pix, 16.4 MB). Pildi täpsus on 27cm/pixel.

Isegi Opportunity sõidutee on näha:

Tõesti ilusad pildid. 27 cm piksli kohta on üsna kõva saavutus.

Aga Opportunity sõiduteed ma küll ei näe.


EDIT: Nüüd märkasin

Ootan huviga, millal Opportunity kraatri servale jõuab ja paar pilti teeb. Peaks tulema head pildid.

Täna kell 16:23 (Eesti aja järgi) väljus Baikonuri kosmodroomilt Euroopa kosmoseagentuuri teleskoop Soyuz 2-1b raketi pardal, mille ülesandeks on otsida kiviseid planeete teiste tähtede ümber. Teleskoobi nimeks on Corot.

Pikemalt:
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/sfn_061227_corot_launch.html

Igatahes minu jaoks on tegu suure uudisega, juba ammu sai oodatud seda, kuid pidevalt lükati teleskoobi starti edasi.
See on suur samm edasi, sest juhul kui Corotil õnnestub leida Maa sarnane planeet, jääb üle vaid tulevikus selle planeedi atmosfääri analüüsida, mida teeb juba TPF.
