SpaceX Crew-3 Mission

[Raja Chari @Astro_Raja]

Busy week on @Space_Station prepping for Kayla Barron and @AstroMarshburn's spacewalk but got a chance to speak with students from Colegio Pumahue in Chile. They built a HAM radio setup and talked with @NASA_Astronauts as we flew overhead.

.@AstroMarshburn and Kayla Barron are getting ready for Thursday’s spacewalk to replace a station antenna system. https://t.co/StFZ0Rf7cQ

Microgravity impacts our muscles. This @DLR_en-Myotones experiment measures changes in resting human muscle, while monitoring and evaluating how regular exercise before, during and after our stay on the @Space_Station counteracts muscle and bone loss 💪 @ISS_Research #CosmicKiss

The Earth surprised us with this jewel: an atoll in the Arabian Sea surrounded by glint from the mid-day sun.

Congratulations to my Russian colleagues on the arrival of the Node Module last week! It's the final @roscosmos module planned for the @Space_Station, adding new docking ports to the Russian segment. We enjoyed the tranquility & acoustics during our first look inside. #CosmicKiss

NASA received a debris notification for the space station. Due to the lack of opportunity to properly assess the risk it could pose to the astronauts, teams have decided to delay the Nov. 30 spacewalk until more information is available. https://t.co/HJCXFWBd3Y

Unpack your EVA suit 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 Tomorrow Kayla Barron and @AstroMarshburn will exit the @Space_Station to replace a faulty antenna system. For this spacewalk I’ll manipulate the @csa_asc Canadarm2 as onboard operator M1, supported by @Astro_Raja as M2 🦾 #CosmicKiss

[International Space Station @Space_Station]

Today at 2pm ET, station managers talk about Tuesday's spacewalk with astronauts @AstroMarshburn and Kayla Barron live on @NASA TV. https://t.co/yuOTrZ4Jut

Alles in einem: Das @ESA_de Columbus-Labor ist nicht nur Wissenschafts- & Technologiehub, es beherbergt auch das CASA-Quartier (Crew Alternate Sleep Accommodation), in dem ich während meiner #CosmicKiss-Mission schlafen, entspannen & mit meiner Familie in Kontakt bleiben kann 😊

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

In orbit, we make the most of space 💪 @esa's science lab Columbus is a hub of science & technology, but also the location of my crew quarters, CASA. Short for Crew Alternate Sleep Accommodation, it's a place for me to sleep, relax & keep in touch with family during #CosmicKiss

One of the best things about international collaboration? Sharing international celebrations and culture 🥳 I'm thankful for all my crew mates up here on the @Space_Station and everyone supporting our mission from #Earth 🌍 #HappyThanksgiving #ThanksgivingDinner #CosmicKiss

My first #EarthObservation pics! Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. These images remind me of time spent hiking in Torres del Paine, sleeping in a tent on the mountainside and visiting huge glaciers that cracked and rumbled as if they were alive. #RoundTheWorld

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

Meine ersten Fotos von der Erde! Diese Bilder von Patagonien in Chile & Argentinien erinnern mich an die Zeit, in der ich im Torres del Paine gewandert bin, im Zelt am Berghang geschlafen habe & riesige Gletscher bestaunen konnte. #EarthObservation #RoundTheWorld

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

Masse ≠ Gewicht ⚖️ Ich bin im Weltraum zwar derzeit schwerelos, aber meine Körpermasse ist definitiv nicht 0. Um hier die Masse messen zu können, brauchen wir Techniken wie diese russische Hardware, die die Änderung der Resonanzfrequenz nutzt, um meine Masse zu berechnen.

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

Ein gutes Frühstück ist im Weltraum genauso wichtig wie auf der Erde. Es darf nur nicht wegfliegen 😉 / A good breakfast is as important in space as it is on #Earth. Just don’t let it float away 😉 #CosmicKiss Today = blueberry cobbler, rehydrated 😋

Said goodbye to our Cygnus vehicle over the weekend. We used the @csa_asc robotic arm on @Space_Station to release it. @NASA_Astronauts recycle a lot on-orbit but we rely on the teams at @NASA_Johnson to get us additional supplies when we need them.

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

Nach dem Entladen der Vorräte & wissenschaftlichen Ausrüstung, habe ich Samstag beim bodengesteuerten Abdocken von Cygnus am Roboterarbeitsplatz 🦾 des @csa_asc Canadarm2 geholfen & den Abflug gesteuert. Cygnus wird am 15.12. beim Wiedereintritt in die Erdatmosphäre verglühen.

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

With its supplies & science unloaded, we said goodbye to Cygnus on Saturday 👋 I assisted with its ground-commanded release using the robotic workstation for @csa_asc's Canadarm2 🦾 then commanded its departure. It will deorbit on 15 December & burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

[Matthias Maurer @astro_matthias]

Who wore it better? 😆 This technology demonstration, called Metabolic Space, aims to validate new wireless measurement devices for measuring performance and metabolism – simultaneously monitoring oxygen uptake, CO2-output, heart rate & more🩺 #CosmicKiss

[Raja Chari @Astro_Raja]

Getting settled in on @Space_Station with @Astro_Sabot and my #Crew3 buddies! More @NASA_Astronauts onboard = more toilet containers. Luckily, I found a way to move a bunch at a time while protecting my head since I still bump into things floating around in zero gravity.
