Hey @FrontierCorp - I'm loving your service - HOWEVER, not loving that my scheduled upgrade for tomorrow was "deactivated" without any notification, and the customer service rep could not tell me why.

Hey @HDCares can you please check out thehuskytool.com/? They claim to be THE official web site for @HomeDepot's HUSKY TOOLS brand - but I have seen posts online reporting the site as a scam. Please help YOUR customers who are being scammed by this web site. Thanks!

It was very cool to capture this. I wonder if any folks on #CRONUS console @NASA_Johnson may have seen anything on their feeds (it was not visible in the EHDC6 Nadir view due to the "Pump Module" blocking the view at the time of this event).

.@Sen's SpaceTV-1 4K external camera payload is being installed TODAY. It will be installed by #ROBOTEAM Canadarm2 by undocking the #Nanoracks Bishop Airlock - moving that over to the Columbus module - extracting @AirbusSpace's ArgUS plate and installing on Bartolomeo.
Unfortunately, both NASA's public ISS Live video feeds are OFF-AIR (since Friday!) so we cannot see any of this happening. Can anyone on #CRONUS or other flight controllers who have access to the 9-Pack view in MCC confirm if that's happening? Thanks!

The view from EHDC6 seems to be a little underexposed for the past couple of days. Would someone on #CRONUS be able to check the exposure settings? Thanks!

Good morning Southern California! This @Space_Station pass starts over the Pacific coastline just north of @LACity & @LongBeachCity and finishes over @CityofSanDiego & Tijuana Mexico.

So very proud of the @sen ops team for the planning and execution of this perfectly brilliant capture of the shadow of the moon from our ETV-A1 satellite just before landfall over Mexico.
Today's solar eclipse filmed in 4K video by our satellite. We are downlinking some more and longer videos within the next hour or so #Eclipse2024
At @NASAKennedy OSB-II today - to view the launch of our SpaceTV-1 4K camera payload to the @Space_Station on @SpaceX CRS30
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
Join me for a rather spectacular @ISS_CASIS Webinar where I will share about @Sen's 4K Earth Viewing camera system (called SpaceTV-1) heading to the @Space_Station on SpX-30 in a few weeks.
3...2...1...the countdown is on for SpaceTV-1. 🚀
Join our SpaceTV Director @liamkennedy on tomorrow's @ISS_CASIS webinar to learn more about our next mission as we launch a 4K video camera system to the International Space Station. Details are below - don't miss it!
I am simply in awe at how bright this iceberg is in the @Space_Station live video feed from EHDC6.
#D28 "Molar Berg" - calved off from the Avery Ice Sheld in Oct 2019 and drifted over 4000km to reach its present position.
This gigantic iceberg, approximately 35x21 miles in size, was spotted to the Northeast of the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean

Just sayin. I am a lot happier about bing here than you may get from my face. #myhappyplace @NASA_Johnson

Wow - Incredible video. That is some significant rotation there (of the entire station??) - which doesn't quite show in the telemetry data I have access to (*).
(*) Public telemetry for Yaw/Pitch/Roll updates every 10-20 seconds or so - but still.
@Uncle_Rocket_98 @spaceguy87
TELEMETRY: The @Space_Station recently did a quick attitude change to spin around by 180° in YAW. I believe this was for a deboost, positioning the station so the thrusters on the Russian segment can slow down the station a tad. Adjusting timing for docking of Progress MS-24/85p?
The @space_station spun around 180° - did a quick deboost (for debris avoidance - PDAM) - and then spun back around 180° to the regular attitude.
Keep calm... and carry on... orbiting.
@Uncle_Rocket_98 @spaceguy87 #ADCO
Just in case anyone is interested - the @Space_Station is currently doing a little pirouette maneuver to spin itself around (guessing it's a 180° OPM). ISS is in orbital eclipse - so not sure if we'll see anything on the live feeds. telemetry.space/
The beginning part of the maneuver was captured on this rear-facing camera as the @Space_Station was over northern California.
xitter.cf/ISSAboveYou/status/168…
In other news - did you know the @Space_Station did a leisurely little 180° pirouette a few hours ago?
This video (x15 timelapse) captures the first 16 minutes of that maneuver (the camera is NOT moving... the ISS is doing a funky attitude change in pitch/roll and yaw). The complete maneuver takes about 60 minutes or so.
Why do this? Glad you asked!
It's in preparation for a special reboost that will be conducted tomorrow using the Cygnus "S.S. Laurel Clark" (NG-19) spacecraft (14:40 UTC Aug 11). Prior to that - the ISS will likely do a pitch down/up of 90° so the "rockety bit" will be pointing in the correct direction.
There be dinosaurs on the @Space_Station! When you are at #ISSRDC you have to send a photo of your newest grandson up to the ISS. This is my grandson Connor. 7 months old - in his dinosaur suit.
Thank you #HOSCFaceInSpace

This is one truly amazing capture of the @Space_Station. This view was captured from ANOTHER satellite. My mind boggles at the kind of planning and pointing accuracy involved. I would love to hear more of the story behind this capture.
The @Space_Station got an update!
An astronaut on a spacewalk released a roll-out solar array to increase the power available for science, communication systems, propulsion systems to dodge space debris, and life support on the ISS.

For the past several days the EHDC6 camera feed from the @Space_Station has been going "out of focus" several times a day (sometimes for hours at a time). Wonder if this is due to the extra high zoom level it's been switched to?

Sharing especially for any friends who work @NASA_Johnson. If you ever drive on/off the base through Gate 2 and you notice the canopy is all lit up like this... your @Space_Station is passing by at the same time.
This photo shows Gate 2 at @NASA_Johnson at 7:46pm last night. That blue/purple color on/under the canopy comes from a big set of LEDs that are lighting up because the @Space_Station was passing by.
All of that is controlled by a special @ISSAboveYou in the guardhouse that switches on those LEDs every time the ISS is passing by.
Thanks to my anonymous friend who shared the photo (shared here with permission).
More info on this project: issabove.com/blog/iss-overhe…
ALT The photo shows the Gate 2 entrance to Johnson Space Center. This is known as the "high volume entrance/exit" and is directly off NASA Parkway. The canopy across the entrance has a large set of LED's controlled by a relay which is switched on by a custom ISS-Above device installed in 2019. The system went through some recent upgrades.
Can anyone (#ADCO) tell me why the @Space_Station was spun around 180° earlier today? (I've rotated the live video feed here). I know this can happen due to Hi Beta conditions and certain docking/undocking events. Just not sure why now.
@Uncle_Rocket_98 @spaceguy87
Kia ora Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿: Another lovely pass over Te Waipounamu / South Island.
The @Space_Station was spun around 180° earlier today(*) so I have rotated the video to make it "easier" to follow the view.
Mar 30, 2023 09:57am NZDT @MetService
(*) This most often happens due to an upcoming spacecraft arrival/departure but can happen for "other reasons". Soyuz MS-23 will be undocked and re-docked on Apr 6 - which is quite a ways off really.
The proper (most reliable) way to connect the LED wire to my @pimoroni #PlasmaStick is to add on some solid wire attachments (soldered + heat shrink). This will be much more robust when I take this to maker/STEM events. e.g @cityofstem this weekend.
