@codetaur Nice! FYI, you’ll want to rotate the ISS 90 deg counterclockwise so that it’s flying at the correct attitude, Node 1 facing in the direction of the velocity vector. 😎

Jim Lovell was a veteran of the Gemini VII, Gemini XII, and Apollo 8 missions before becoming the Mission Commander for the Apollo 13 mission to the Moon.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

@sturmf1 Not just a shorter rendezvous time, but the SHORTEST time of any Dragon mission! Crew-11 was speedy and docked in under 15 hours. 🏎️
English
@astrosean_ Good thing to have a shorter time on orbit should the Dragon toilet act up again.😉

Launching in Florida brings its challenges, but we will try again tomorrow. Good news is this next launch attempt has the same docking date/time, thanks orbital mechanics!
NASA@NASA
Today’s launch attempt has been scrubbed due to weather. Our next Crew-11 launch attempt will be at 11:43am ET (1543 UTC) Friday, Aug. 1. Our coverage will begin at 7:35am ET (1135 UTC).

Welcome aboard, Crew-11 — It was a pleasure helping get you guys docked to Station this morning!
NASA@NASA
Welcome to the @Space_Station, Crew-11! Dragon's hatch opened at 3:46am ET (0746 UTC) as the new arrivals joined the crew aboard the orbital laboratory.

See you soon, Crew-11! 🚀
Tune in tomorrow at 2:00 AM Central Time to watch the docking!
NASA@NASA
…And off they go! Crew-11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 11:43am ET (1543 UTC), headed towards the @Space_Station.

Happy to give you a boost 😉

Due to atmospheric drag, the @Space_Station decelerates over time, which causes a loss in altitude. We have to execute a reboost in order to get back to speed and altitude. When the thrusters are firing, you can feel and see the acceleration inside the station! Ha, we had fun being human accelerometers. 😊

Instructor informal went well today so now all that’s left is my final next month!
Excited to earn cert #3 😎

56 years ago, the world witnessed one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Today we are (finally) going back to the Moon, and this time to stay. The Moon is the first step to Mars and beyond — humanity will become a multi-planet, space-fairing species! 🚀 💫

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon—and with them, the world took a giant leap. That moment sparked a legacy of exploration that continues today as @NASA and its partners advance toward Artemis II and prepare for the next great frontier: Mars.

Passed my MCG instructor knowledge board today, all that is left now is to pass my final 😎

@Robotbeat I’d read it! In general I love any sci fi that explores what relations between human colonies would be like given it would likely experience a revolutionary period where colonies declare independence from earth
English
Science fiction story where there is a spacefaring civilization on Mars and the moon, but earth has largely gone backwards and has made it illegal to launch to space. So the space faring folks have technology like sky hooks and rotating tethers that can carry people up from earth in spite of earth laws, if they are able to get past the Karman line.

The busy week continues — I’ll be working console for the next week! Dayshifts rest of this week to finish up my Complex Ops cert requirements (I get to support the upcoming Progress launch!) then back to overnight shifts after that. 🚀

@mr_aspartame Honestly I typically shoot 50mm+ and sometimes 35 so that’s why the IIIx appealed to me. Looking forward to the pics!
Just wish the 2nd hand market for cameras wasn’t so bad lol
English
@astrosean_ I'll get a bunch of the pictures I took on mine posted online soon, I'll send it over and it'll probably convince you to pull the trigger haha. It's so good. I'd probably recommend the III over the IIIx for most people though since there were times I wish I had a wider angle lens

Ektar 100 is incredible film, all my pictures with it are fantastic.

@EvilJim9 Here’s some highlights while I organize the rest
