| Atlantis Lands Safely February 20, 2008 9:46am in science |
Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down safely at 9:07am EST this morning at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis' landing marks the successful completion of STS-122 which saw the first new laboratory added to the station in 7 years. Columbus, Europe's contribution to the International Space Station was attached during the mission's 3 spacewalks. What's interesting to note is the Destiny laboratory, and until this mission, the ISS' only laboratory, was launched February 7, 2001 aboard Atlantis, 7 years to the day before Columbus launched also aboard Atlantis.

| NASA Tracking Air Leak in International Space Station November 29, 2007 7:45am in science |
SPACE.COM reports that NASA is investigating a minor air leak on board the International Space Station. This leak appears to be minor and is little risk to the crew or the upcoming STS-122 mission to be launched early December. NASA is having astronauts inspecting the seals beteern the Destiny Lab and the Harmony Modules as well as the seal between the Harmony Module and the Shuttle Docking Port. The good news is that the tests checking the internal pressure of the ISS are showing no signs of decay. NASA hopes to have this issue resolved although no one on the ground or on the ISS seems to be overly concerned showing seemingly that this possible leak really does show no signs of being a major risk.
