Projet de station spatiale sur Mars
Pictures must credit: Thomas Herzig / Pneumocell.com An engineer who has worked on how to set up and feed a colony in Mars has now come up with the best way to put humans on the surface. And he reckons its done by hitching a ride on a passing asteroid. An astronaut’s body will have to endure extreme hardships on a month-long journey to and and then from the Red Planet. They will be exposed to a high dose of cosmic radiation and microgravity where muscles and Bones gradually weaken. When crew members leave their safe habitat to explore the Mars surface another problem is the negative impact on physical performance due microgravity in the spacecraft that took them there. Astronauts returning from the International Space Station already face problems after much shorter stays such as muscle atrophy reduced bone mass ,heart shrinkage and vision issues. Some have too weak to stand on their feet when they initially set foot back on Earth although they recover within a few weeks under careful medical supervision. A new type of space station has been proposed for orbiting Mars using a rotating habitat to simulate gravity as seen in the classic Sixties science fiction film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It should not spin faster than three revolutions per minute to avoid causing dizziness and motion sickness and so would need a radius of 100 Austrian Thomas Herzig’s idea is for a space station to be assembled on an asteroid called Itokawa which passes close to both Mars and Earth during its journey around the Sun.

Russian Node Module arrives
On Friday 26 November, astronauts on board the International Space Station welcomed the final Russian module, Prichal, This Node Module provides additional docking ports for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov oversaw it's docking to the Russian segment.
ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, who's currently aboard the International Space Station during his Cosmic Kiss mission, took this picture of the module and shared it on his social media channels.

Cosmic pearl
It can be hard to appreciate that a human-made, football-pitch-sized spacecraft is orbiting 400 km above our heads, but there it is.
The jewel of human cooperation and ingenuity that is the International Space Station shines brightly in this image captured by ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour.
Crew-2 got these amazing views during a flyaround of the orbiting lab after undocking from the Harmony module on 8 November, before their return to Earth.
Since this image was taken, there has even been a new addition in the form of the Russian Node Module, known as Prichal. The final Russian module planned for the Station, it is a spherical node attached to the Russian segment with six docking ports for future Progress and Soyuz arrivals.
A collaboration between five space agencies, the Station has become a symbol of peaceful international cooperation for 23 years now. It represents the best of our space engineering capabilities as well as humankind’s pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration.
By any standards, it is an incredible piece of spacecraft engineering. Weighing 420 tonnes, it travels in low-Earth orbit at more than 27 000 km/hour, circling Earth approximately 16 times every day.
Crew members conduct scientific research in microgravity at facilities such as ESA’s Columbus module. Some of these experiments and tests are preparing the way for human exploration of the Moon and beyond. But the Station also provides a unique view of Earth, while its science benefits life on our planet.
Current ESA astronaut in residence is Matthias Maurer, a first-time flier spending around six-months in orbit for his Cosmic Kiss mission. Matthias will continue to support a wide range of European and international science experiments and technological research on the Station before handing off to the next ESA astronaut to fly, Samantha Cristoforetti.

Dinner for ten
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and the rest of the International Space Station crew having dinner.
Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "Dinner with everybody. Our new crewmembers Klim and Yulia work all day to shoot scenes for their movie, and our cosmonaut friends help them out a lot. I canÕt wait to see the final product! The tradition of our very special ship is to dine all together at least once a week, and itÕs fun to see new faces and hear new stories after five months in our small family. Kind of a warm-up round for resuming social life on Earth in a few weeks!"
