Want to see the International Space Station in the middle of the day? You can if you know when and where to look... Wednesday afternoon the ISS passed right in front of the Sun from our vantage point here in Tenants Harbor, Maine. We safely projected it on a board and took a video. It went by fast so I also slowed it down a little at the end of the clip :) (Not the best capture, but I had a small amount of time to setup and it was very windy out.)
This space station simulator is complete with livestock and green garden produce, kitchen, laboratory, control center and recreational rooms.

Astronaut James F. Reilly outside the International Space Station with the Destiny laboratory module in the background and the Earth 2000 naut. mi. below.
In what may be the best single representation of the visual feast of images we have enjoyed from Expedition 28 flight engineer Ron Garan during his 5 1/2 month stay aboard the ISS, this amazing image shows him inside the Station's cupola as he took his last images of Earth before departing.
I must say, if anything embodies the blurring of science fiction and science reality that's become a daily part of our lives, this is it.
Thanks to Ron for sharing this on his Twitter feed! Follow him @Astro_Ron, and be sure to check out his website, FragileOasis.org and become a member there.

Mizuna Mustard mustard greens, part of the Veg-04A experiment, are shown growing in a Veggie plant growth chamber aboard the International Space Station on July 9, 2019. The Veg-04A experiment tested the greens, grown in blue-rich lighting and red-rich lighting, to determine the effects of different light ratios on plants grown in space on the station. The plants arrived aboard the SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-16 mission. Astronaut Christina Koch initiated the on-orbit experiment on June 4, 2019, in the stationâs two Veggie plant growth chambers, with six plant pillows per chamber. On June 11, 2019, Koch thinned the Mizuna plants to one plant per pillow. The on-orbit harvest took place July 9, 2019, with astronaut Nick Hague harvesting the plants grown under blue-rich light and Koch harvesting the plants grown under red-rich lights.

It may not take fifty years before we build a space station with docking and refueling facilities such as this one. Large mirror is used to convert solar energy to electrical power for the station which is seen here in fixed position 22,000 miles above the Earth.

Jess Bunchek, an associate scientist at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, observes plant cultivars inside the Veggie growth chamber in the Space Station Processing Facility prior to harvesting them on Sept. 30, 2019, for a science verification test (SVT). This SVT will study the potential of three plants – amara mustard, ‘outredgeous’ red romaine lettuce and shungiku, an Asian green comparable to an edible chrysanthemum – to grow in space. All three lettuce plants were grown from seed film, making this the first SVT with this new plant growth material. Earlier this year, the amara mustard and shungiku plants were grown for the first time using seed bags – referred to as pillows – during the Sustained Veggie project, a study funded by the Human Research Program.

Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Skylab 1/2 On-board photo - Astronaut Paul J. Weitz, Skylab 2 pilot, gets a physical examination by a fellow crewman during the 28-day Skylab mission. Scientist-astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, Skylab 2 science pilot and a doctor of medicine, uses a stethoscope to check the heartbeat of Weitz. They are in the Orbital Workshop crew quarters of the Skylab 1/2 space station in Earth orbit. This photograph was taken by Astronaut Charles Conrad, Jr., commander of the Skylab 2 mission.

S72-44715 (July 1972) --- This is the emblem and crew patch of the Skylab Medical Experiment Altitude Test (SMEAT) which began at the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) on July 26, 1972. The emblem portrays the United Features Syndicate copyrighted cartoon character, Snoopy. The three SMEAT crew members are astronaut Robert L. Crippen, commander; Karol J. Bobko, pilot; and scientist-astronaut William E. Thornton, science pilot. The three crew members will spend up to 56 days in the Crews Systems Division's 20-foot altitude test chamber to obtain medical data and evaluate medical experiment equipment for Skylab.

The ISS traverses the sun in just 2.3 seconds. The trajectory looks a bit wobbly due to the wind on Congleton Road, sorry.

This is a little Spacestation i built quite a while ago and finally got around to photograph. Its a long hexagonal tube with small extensions on the inner circle. It has a working airlock and a small cockpit. There are little boosters throughout the entire ship for steering in space. The energy for the station is generated by the 3 rotatable solarpanel-arms.

A closer crop of the Tiangong 1 Chinese Space Station (now unmanned) passing over the Western Coast of Florida this evening.
Really pleased I was able to capture this incredibly faint pass so soon after the sun had set. Magnitude was 3.9 (the ISS is normally around -3)
Tiangong 1 is now unmanned out of control. Its in a rapidly decaying orbit, and expected to either reenter or burn up sometime between Oct 17 and Apr 18.
The bright moon and fogging optics didn't help much, nor did the unforgiving bugs that have bitten my legs!
Timeline of the International Space Station. 12 years and $150 billion in the making, the ISS is finally complete and ready to reach its research potential

SL2-04-018 (June 1973) --- A vertical view of the Arizona-Utah border area showing the Colorado River and Grand Canyon photographed from the Skylab 1/2 space station in Earth orbit. This picture was taken by one of the six lenses of the Itek-furnished S190-A Multispectral Photographic Facility Experiment in the Multiple Docking Adapter of the space station. Type S0-356 film was used. The row of white clouds extend north-south over the dark colored Kaibab Plateau. The junction of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers is in the southwest corner of the picture. The body of water is Lake Powell on the Colorado River upstream from the Grand Canyon. The lone peak at the eastern edge of the photograph south of Colorado River is the 10,416-foot Navajo Mountain. The S190-A experiment is part of the Skylab Earth Resources Experiments Package(EREP).

MSP-01 Assault Shuttle
Designed by NASA in co-operation with certain Departments of Defense from countries around the world, this shuttles main mission is to "get rid of" enemy sattelites and space stations built for spying purposes. Equipped with four rocket powered hydrogen bombs the MSP-01 can destroy two large sized or four medium sized targets on one mission.
The MSP-01 is designed to look like a non hostile shuttle, this to bypass any ships that might be defending the target. If necessary, the MSP-01 has two heavy-duty cannons that can be used to eliminate the threat of hostile ships. These cannons can shoot different types of rocket powered ammunition all with their own purpose which can be selected by the gunner.
Specifications:
- 4 liquid-fuel rocket engines with seperate resevoir tanks
- Top speed of 19550mph with all engines at full power
- Crew consists of a pilot and a gunner
- 2 cannons with up to 3 different types of ammo each (explosives, electric circuit killers, armour penetrating nerve gas capsules)
- 4 small rocket powered hydrogen bombs
- Can go from flight/stealth mode to assault mode within 15 seconds ; hydrogen bombs ready to fire within 20 seconds. Cannons can be fired at any time

My entry for the Real World Starfighter Contest. I had a lot of fun building this micro scale MOC and I think it turned out pretty good! The shuttle's hatch can open and close (as seen on the smaller pictures below the main picture).

SL2-102-900 (22 June 1973) --- The Great Himalayan Mountain Range, India/Tibet (30.5N, 81.5E) is literally the top of the world where mountains soar to over 20,000 ft. effectively isolating Tibet from the rest of the world. The two lakes seen in the center of the image are the Laga Co and the Kunggyu Co located just inside the Tibet border. Although clouds and rainfall are rare in this region, snow is always present on the mountain peaks. Photo credit: NASA
Scrapheap station is a crudely repaired and modifed MKI Human station and is the third waypoint on a hidden smugglers route through uncharted space. These hidden smuggling posts allow the Pirates to make hit, grab, and run attacks on the main shipping lanes. These outposts provide a safe haven for the pirates and smugglers to trade and sell their stollen loot on the black market as well as refuel and repair their ships.
I tried to give this one a ragged look, as if it had been destroyed and repaired numerous times with different materials, and as if parts were still missing or under repair.
