Astronaut Kimiya Yui (JAXA) snimio je spektakularnu auru iz svemira dok je boravio na ISS‑u; video prikazuje ružičaste, teal i ljubičaste svetlosne pruge iznad Zemlje. Snimak je objavljen nekoliko dana pre nego što će misija Crew‑11 biti prekinuta ranijim povratkom zbog zdravstvenog problema jednog člana posade. NASA nije otkrila identitet ili detalje, ali je potvrdila da je pogođeni član stabilan. Crew‑11 uključuje i astronaute Zenu Cardman, Mikea Finckea i Olega Platonova.
Astronaut Kimiya Yui Snimio Spektakularnu Auru Sa ISS‑a — Crew‑11 Napušta Stanicu Ranije
Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander captures its shadow on the moon's surface after completing a successful landing March 2 near a volcanic feature on the moon called Mons Latreille. The vehicle became the first of two landers manufactured by a U.S. company to reach the moon is 2025 in crucial missions to lay the groundwork for NASA to return humans to the lunar surface in the years ahead.
Astronaut Kimiya Yui iz Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) snimio je zadivljujući prikaz aurore dok se nalazio na Međunarodnoj svemirskoj stanici (ISS). Kratak video pokazuje talase ružičaste, teal i ljubičaste svetlosti koje plešu iznad Zemlje, stvarajući gotovo nadrealan prizor.
Snimek je objavljen nekoliko dana pre nego što je posada misije Crew‑11 najavljena za raniji povratak na Zemlju. "Bilo mi je drago što sam ga zabeležio, ali pre svega, zamišljajući sve kako se smeju i raduju videu, nasmejao sam se sam sa sobom", napisao je Yui u objavi na mreži X (prevod sa japanskog).
Zašto Crew‑11 napušta ISS? NASA je saopštila da će članovi posade Crew‑11 napustiti stanicu pre planiranog termina zbog toga što je jedan od astronauta doživeo zdravstveni problem. Agencija nije navela ko je pogođen iz razloga privatnosti, ali je javnosti saopšteno da je pogođeni član stabilan. Povratak je planiran najranije u 17:00 u sredu, 14. januara.
Ko su članovi Crew‑11?
- Zena Cardman — NASA astronautkinja (Virginia, SAD)
- Mike Fincke — NASA astronaut (Pennsylvania, SAD)
- Kimiya Yui — Astronaut iz JAXA (Japan)
- Oleg Platonov — Roscosmos kosmonaut (Rusija)
U avgustu 2025. Zena Cardman je takođe snimila retku auroru iznad Sjedinjenih Država i podelila video na mreži X, opisujući iskustvo kao teško prenosivo rečima.
Širi kontekst misija
Crew‑11 je jedanaesta naučna ekspedicija koju realizuju NASA i SpaceX u okviru Commercial Crew programa. Većina takvih misija traje oko šest meseci; kroz dogovor sa SpaceX‑om NASA zakupom Dragon letelica omogućava pristup niskoj orbiti i oslobađa resurse za programe poput Artemis i buduće misije sa ljudskom posadom prema Marsu. NASA takođe radi na sertifikaciji Boeingove kapsule Starliner kako bi pre povlačenja ISS‑a do 2030. postojalo drugo operativno vozilo za posete stanici.
Napomena: NASA nije otkrila detalje o zdravstvenom problemu iz poštovanja privatnosti posade; agencija je potvrdila da je pogođeni član stabilan.
Video aurore koji je snimio Yui privukao je pažnju javnosti kao podsetnik na lepotu Zemlje iz svemira, ali i na rizike i nepredviđene okolnosti koje prate misije sa ljudskom posadom.
Athena, the lunar lander on Intuitive Machines' IM-2 mission, captured this image of the moon's surface with Earth seen in the distance ahead of a March 6 landing attempt. While the lander was the second U.S. vehicle to reach the moon within a week, it ultimately landed on its side, which hindered much of its mission.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams is helped out of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft March 18 following a return to Earth after a nine-month stay at the International Space Station. She and NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore crewed the Boeing Starliner, which had launched in June 2024 on a failed test flight that was meant to return them to Earth a few days later.
Butch Wilmore reacts after he and Suni Williams and two other astronauts splashed down March 18 in a Crew Dragon space capsule following their return to earth from the International Space Station off the coast of Florida. The astronauts' extended stay at the orbital outpost dominated the news cycle for months.
A SpaceX support team member is seen airborne while working to lift the SpaceX Dragon capsule that returned the Starliner astronauts and two others onto a recovery vehicle following its landing off the coast of Florida.
This picture shows the crew of a privately-funded mission known as Fram2, from left to right, mission specialist and medical officer Eric Philips, mission commander Chun Wang, pilot Rabea Rogge and vehicle commander Jannicke Mikkelsen on March 19, 2025 in Hawthorne, California. Launched March 31 from Florida using a SpaceX Dragon capsule, the mission became t first ever human spaceflight over the Earth's polar regions.
Pop musician Katy Perry emerges April 14 from Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule in West Texas following a brief flight to the edge of space. Perry was part of an all-women crew that also included broadcast journalist Gayle King that took the ride from Blue Origin's facility called Launch Site One. The high-profile launch attracted plenty of headlines and even drew some backlash from those who viewed the mission as a wasteful publicity stunt.
Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket carrying astronauts Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, and Lauren Sanchez lifts off April 14 from Launch Site One near Van Horn, Texas. Blue Origin has since launched five more human spaceflights on the New Shepard in 2025.
This photo depicts a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the latest batch of Amazon's broadband satellites on Dec. 16 to low-Earth orbit after launching from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Formerly called Project Kuiper, the venture has since been renamed Amazon Leo. Since its debut April launch, Amazon Leo has deployed 180 of 3,000 satellites planned for its first constellation, which could challenge SpaceX's Starlink.
A group of Blue Origin employees with their friends and families gather on the beach in Cape Canaveral for the launch of Blue Origin's second New Glenn rocket in 2025. Following its January debut, the rocket launched for the second time Nov. 13 from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, sending NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft on their trek to Mars.
Darkness falls Nov. 9 as a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket is prepped for its second-ever launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Blue Origin is developing the towering rocket for heavy-lift missions that could see Jeff Bezos' company compete with Elon Musk and SpaceX.
The SpaceX Starship spacecraft sits Oct. 12, 2025 atop the Super Heavy booster before sunrise as preparations continue for its 11th test flight from the company's complex in Starbase, Texas.
A SpaceX Super Heavy booster carrying the Starship spacecraft lifts off Oct. 13, 2025, on its 11th ever test flight at the company's launch pad in Starbase, Texas. The launch was Starship's fifth of 2025, and second consecutive successful test flight following a year that was early on marked by explosive failures. SpaceX is developing the rocket for future missions that would help NASA astronauts land on the moon and also potentially transport the first humans to Mars.
