The space shuttle Columbia disaster, in which the Israeli astronaut, Col. Ilan Ramon, died, among other things, led to the reduction of staff at the International Space Station, which has been orbiting the Earth for three years. Now there are two astronauts who are performing in it
Scientific missions, according to instructions received from Earth.
The station is made up of a set of units, which make it possible to carry out biology and materials engineering experiments in a gravity-free environment. Since it was launched into space, it has been in continuous growth stages. A few months ago, two units were brought to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida
More will be sent to her in the future, to increase her capabilities.
One of them, a bus-sized unit called "kibo", will be a laboratory for the study of human biology and for observations from space on Earth.
The station has been photographed many times from the supply spacecraft (in the large picture). The photos revealed its impressive size and other details, such as its "wings" - solar cell panels, which provide it with electricity. Smaller panels are also visible, which allow to emit
Discharge the heat generated in it.
You can watch the space station as it passes in the sky of Israel. It is the shining point of light moving among the stars. Owners of telescopes for tracking moving targets also sometimes photograph it. In the small picture, for example, you can see the station as it was taken against the background of the moon. The photographer was preparing to capture the recent lunar eclipse, but just then the space station passed between him and the moon.
