NASA ISS On-Orbit Status 1 June 2011
STS-134/Endeavour (ISS-ULF6) returned to Earth safely early this morning on the first opportunity, landing at KSC at 2:35am EDT after a flight duration of 15d 17h 36m, 248 orbits, and over 6 million stat.mi. covered distance. It was Endeavour’s last flight after an illustrious career and the 36th Shuttle flight to the ISS. Welcome back, Mark, Box, Spanky, Roberto, Drew and Taz! [During its docked period, Endeavour delivered the AMS-2 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 2) and the ELC-3 (EXPRESS Logistics Carrier 3) loaded with spare parts. The crew performed the 4 last scheduled spacewalks by Shuttle crew members, bringing the final number of Shuttle EVAs to 164. During 159 spacewalks for assembly & maintenance of the ISS, astronauts & cosmonauts have spent a total of 1,002h 37m outside. Mike Fincke set a new record for the time a U.S. astronaut has spent in space when he reached his 377th day on 5/27, surpassing previous record holder Peggy Whitson. With today's landing, Spanky's record now is at 382d in space. STS-134, the 134th Space Shuttle flight in history, was the last mission for the youngest of our Space Shuttle fleet. Since 1992, Endeavour has flown 25 missions, spent 299d in space, orbited Earth 4,671 times and traveled 122,883,151 miles. Its touchdown today was the 77th landing at the Cape.] At wake-up, Garan conducted another session with the Reaction Self Test (Psychomotor Vigilance Self Test on the ISS) protocol, his 17th. [The RST is performed twice daily (after wakeup & before bedtime) for 3 days prior to the sleep shift, the day(s) of the sleep shift and 5 days following a sleep shift. The experiment consists of a 5-minute reaction time task that allows crewmembers to monitor the daily effects of fatigue on performance while on ISS. The experiment provides objective feedback on neurobehavioral changes in attention, psychomotor speed, state stability, and impulsivity while on ISS missions, particularly as they relate to changes in circadian rhythms, sleep restrictions, and extended work shifts.] As part of the crew’s regular morning inspection tour, FE-1 Samokutyayev performed the routine checkup of circuit breakers & fuses in the DC1 (Docking Compartment). [The monthly checkup in DC1, MRM1 & MRM2 looks at AZS circuit breakers on the BVP Amp Switch Panel (they should all be On) and the LEDs (light-emitting diodes) of 14 fuses in fuse panels BPP-30 & BPP-36. MRM2 & MRM1 were derived from the DC1 concept and are very similar to it.Lava Flows Of Kilauea Photographs - News

“Recent activity at the lava lake deep within the Halema`uma`u vent cavity. Spattering can be seen in the northwest corner (upper left) and a steady stream of lava, coming from an unseen source towards the southeast, is in the lower right. For scale, the lava lake is about 150 meters (164 yards) wide.” Quoted from the USGS video release.
