NASA's SpaceX CRS-31 commercial resupply mission is scheduled to launch on tonight from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station (ISS). The Dragon cargo spacecraft will carry a blood pressure monitoring kit used by Canadian experiments CARDIOBREATH, Vascular Aging, and Vascular Calcium. The latter two are part of the Vascular series, which studies the effects of weightlessness on astronauts' blood vessels and hearts during their space mission. CARDIOBREATH looks at how astronauts' cardiovascular and respiratory systems control their blood pressure.
Discover the International Space Station through five facts about this marvel of international collaboration, engineering, science and exploration.
CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen tells us about a humbling visit to the Turtle Lodge Centre of Excellence in Indigenous Education and Wellness and the teachings that guide him on his journey to the Moon. During the visit, he was honoured with Anishinaabe artist Henry Guimond who designed his personal mission patch for the Artemis II mission. The Turtle Lodge is a place for reconnecting to the Earth and sharing Indigenous ancestral knowledge, founded on the Seven Sacred Laws also known as the Seven Grandfather Teachings.
