NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are targeting 8:22 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, June 10, for launch of the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 4.
We welcomed the Ax-4 crew to #NASAMarshall in March to participate in training at our Payload Operations Integration Center. This visit allowed the crew to get familiar with the team on the ground who will be supporting their science operations during their mission, and to learn how that process is conducted.

After he has been saved by a group of surviving Jedis and taken to their spaceship which is secretly orbiting near a planet under imperial controll, he decides to join them in their seemingly endless fight against the Galactic Empire. In order to weaken the Empire they first need to get rid of the dark side force users who are hunting them and are a constant threat to all the survivors of Order 66.

“This overhead view of the Skylab Space Station was taken from the Departing Skylab Command/Service Module during the Skylab 2's final fly-around inspection. The single solar panel is quite evident as well as the parasol solar shield, rigged to replace the missing micrometeoroid shield. Both the second solar panel and the micrometeoroid shield were torn away during a mishap in the original Skylab 1 liftoff and orbital insertion.”

“AN AEROSPACE COP TO HELP POLICE THE BEAT
As vehicles of all kinds are spewed into space, the problem of policing the traffic will arise. Some of the objects will be harmless derelicts whose only crime is that they are blocking the road. Others, like the cluster of casings shown drifting past earth (upper right) may turn out to be military platforms orbited by an enemy to release bombs on command. The U.S. must be prepared to look them all over from maneuverable interceptors like this one, equipped with sensing devices to detect dangerous weapons and armed with rockets to destroy the offenders.”
Above is per the associated caption with the image, from the April 21, 1961 issue of “LIFE” magazine, as part of a pictorial article entitled “WILD BUT SANE IDEAS FOR SPACE FLIGHT”. Robert McCall created this & two other stunning works exclusively for this issue of the magazine.
The primary body of the article:
“Despite the triumph of Russia’s Major Yuri Gagarin, the race for space is not over. There are still plenty of events to run off which would probe deeper into space and explore its uses as a laboratory for the scientist or a battlefield for the future soldier. And there are still plenty of ideas waiting to be tested. The best hope for the U.S. is that Soviet competition will spur an attempt to convert these ideas into reality.
On these pages LIFE presents some imaginative new concepts which could be useful to both scientist and soldier. They were selected by Astronautical Engineer Tom Turner and rendered by Artist Robert McCall. Some of them may seem at first glance to be far out. Actually, each idea in this portfolio is already on the drawing boards of U.S. industry or government designers and could become a reality, with proper encouragement, in 10 to 20 years—or earlier. Some of the ships, like the solar sail above, are intended primarily for scientific research or for sheer adventure. Others, like the interceptor and the “Schmoo” shown on the following pages, could have a more deadly use. All the ideas are feasible. And all would be valuable—to whoever gets them first.”

Sort of - about to be - prophetic? And the primary adversary was not even on the radar at the time. Fascinating & still just as concerning…to some…but not enough, which is disconcerting. Can you spell PRC???

Northrop Grumman’s 18th contracted cargo resupply mission with NASA to the International Space Station will deliver more than 8,000 pounds of science and research, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbital laboratory and its crew. The Cygnus spacecraft is named after the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, and is scheduled to launch at 5:50 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, EST. Photo Credit: (NASA/Brian Bonsteel)
This week in 2007, the Oxygen Generation System, aboard the International Space Station became operational. Part of the Environmental Control and Life Support System, the OGS produces breathable air for the station’s crew as well as replaces oxygen lost as a result of experiment use, module leakage, carbon dioxide venting and airlock depressurization. Here, the three-module ECLSS is pictured at the Internal Thermal Control System Test Facility at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Marshall is responsible for the design, construction and testing of regenerative life support hardware for the space station and Marshall's Payload Operations Integration Center serves as "science central" for the station, working 24/7, 365 days a year in support of the orbiting laboratory's scientific experiments. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space. For more pictures like this one and to connect to NASA's history, visit the Marshall History Program's webpage. (NASA)

A very nice passage of the International Space Station overhead The Netherlands tonight. I captured this image with my small 102mm telescope. Its amazing how big this spacestation is, you can see many (crew)modules in the station. The very large solar arrays are clearly visible.
Een fraaie passage van het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS over Nederland vanavond. Met een kleine telescoop en camera erachter kun je al veel details zien van dit grote ruimtestation. Diverse modules in het station en vooral de grote zonnepanelen zijn goed zichtbaar.
“Artist Concept – Canada SS.”
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in April 1985 by the Canadian government, to participate in the U.S space station program, was probably a catalyst for this absolutely beautiful Canada-centric artist’s concept. In conjunction with the MoU, subsequent negotiations ensued, in which the U.S. agreed to Canada providing the Mobile Servicing Center (MSC)/Mobile Servicing System (MSS), which may or may not be depicted here, within and as part of what I’m certain is depicted, that being the Integrated Servicing and Test Facility (ISTF). The ISTF components, also to be provided by Canada, are duly labeled as such in the image.
Some of the above is paraphrased from the following excellent article, at:
spaceq.ca/1985-and-1986-the-two-years-everything-changed-...
The article also features this diagram of the MSC/MSS. Although I still don’t know if it’s in the image, as there’s a lot going on in/around the smaller “Canada”-labeled component:
media2.spaceq.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/23170718/Cana...
Both above credit: SpaceQ Media Inc. website
Additionally, at the always informative Astronautix website:
www.astronautix.com/i/issspacestapulatorsystem.html
Specifically, this view – I’m sure by the same talented artist – of a possible precursor ISTF, ca. 1984/85, with ‘open air’ servicing…of the Solar Maximum Mission Satellite (SMMS) at that:
www.astronautix.com/graphics/m/msc84sm.jpg
Also with a nice diagram of the ISTF…’open air’ servicing none other than the Hubble Space Telescope (HST):
www.astronautix.com/graphics/m/msc84.gif
I’m sure not coincidentally, it’s once again the HST that’s being serviced in the artist’s concept, within an enclosed servicing ‘bay’, much more befitting the legendary observatory.
Finally, note the two Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles (OMV) immediately to the left of the smaller Canada labeled component. The nearer OMV appears to be ‘vertically’ berthed in its clamshell-like protective cradle/container. Behind it is one that may be being prepared for either deployment or berthing.
This really is immensely aesthetically appealing. Unfortunately, I see no signature. And I don't even feel comfortable taking a stab at whether it's contractor originated...which it likely is...let alone which contractor it might be. It really has a Pat Rawlings look & feel to it. The clouds alone are awesome, let alone the rest of it. Possibly by a Canadian artist? That would’ve been outstanding…other than not knowing his/her identity.

In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is a health care module. I've also built a habitat example module. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.

“Skylab EREP ground coverage- an artist’s concept of a Skylab cluster in earth orbit showing the area covered by the various components of the Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP) which will be flown on the Skylab A mission in the 1972- ’73 time period.”
The image, featured in the ‘centerfold’ of NASA FACTS, NF-43/1-72 to me, looks like a Charles O. Bennett rendition of Skylab - that was cut out of another concept & superimposed over this earth view. Seems like it would’ve been too much busy work, so its probably wrong, but there’s something odd about the station’s border.
The “73PC” in one of the photo IDs & it being on “THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK” photographic paper suggests it to be a reissue.
The accompanying NF-43/1-72 caption being:
"Ground Coverage. Remote sensing equipment is pointed Earthward from Skylab's Multiple Docking Adapter, where the control and display panel and other equipment for the Earth resources experiments are located."

…contained within “NASA Spinoff 1982”, under the “Space Construction” section, on page 15, the following description pertaining to the image:
“The mobile work station is one example of a number of study and technology development projects aimed at exploiting the Space Transportation System’s capability for construction work. In one approach, structural components would be pre-assembled on Earth, collapsed into compact packages for Shuttle delivery, then expanded to original form in orbit. For erection of habitable structures, a technique being studied involves Shuttle delivery of fully-equipped modules which would be docked together to form a space station. A third approach involves in-space fabrication and joining of lightweight beams. The artist’s conception below depicts a space facility assembled by these techniques.”

The photograph looks to have possibly been framed at one time. The covering on the verso has the look & feel of the peelable backing of vintage decals. I didn't check to see if it could be peeled off though.
Unfortunately, no signature is visible. The unfinished/brushstroke periphery look was sometimes used by Jack Olson. Although the clouds look like maybe Ted Brown, Henry Lozano, even M. Alvarez or Donald Bester? Whoever it is, it’s beautifully rendered.
