based in Hawthorne, California, is working to reuse as many parts of its rockets
and spacecraft as possible to slash launch costs.SpaceX announced on Twitter
that the Dragon hit the water off the California coast shortly after 5 a.

The choice of the pioneering Kelly turned
As he relinquished command of the space station Monday, Kelly noted that he and
Kornienko "have been up here for a really, really long time" and have been
jokingly telling one another, "We did it!" and "We made it!""A year now seems
longer than I thought it would be," Kelly confided a couple weeks ago.NASA's
Scott Kelly and Russia's Mikhail Kornienko had been in space for 340 days.Kelly
was the first one into the docked Soyuz capsule after a round of hugs and
handshakes with the three crewmen staying behind.Kelly has spent more time in
space, altogether, than any other American: 520 days over the course of four
missions."What a ride he took us on!" fellow astronaut Reid Wiseman said in a
tweet from Earth. He'll have plenty of pictures, at least, for the scrapbook —
he posted 1,000 dramatic, color-drenched pictures of Earth on his Twitter and
Instagram accounts. Radiation will be a top challenge, along with the body and
mind's durability on what will be a 2 -year journey round trip. But still
record-smashing for NASA. Before committing to even longer Mars missions, NASA
wants to know the limits of the human body for a year, minus gravity."Well, this
brings back distant memories.
The two yearlong spacemen will undergo a series of
medical tests following touchdown.".Astronaut Scott Kelly closed the door
Tuesday to an unprecedented year in space for NASA, flying back to the planet
and loved ones he left behind last March.Kelly posted one last batch of sunrise
photos Tuesday on Twitter, before quipping, "I gotta go!" His final tweet from
orbit came several hours later: "The journey isn't over. They provided blood,
saliva and urine samples, underwent ultrasounds and bone scans, got flu shots
and more, all in the name of science. Kelly and his roommate for the past 340
days, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, checked out of the International
Space Station on Tuesday night, US time. Empty

make what is seemingly impossible, possible. Follow me as I rediscover

much fresher and decade younger cosmonaut Sergey Volkov, whose space station
stint lasted the typical six months. Kornienko reached out and patted the inside
of the station before the hatches swung shut. Kelly heads to Houston with two
flight surgeons and several other NASA reps, arriving late Wednesday night.

steppes of Kazakhstan as calls of "Godspeed" filled the Twitterverse.By the time
their capsule lands in Kazakhstan on Wednesday, the pair will have traveled 144
million miles through space, circled the world 5,440 times and experienced
10,880 orbital sunrises and sunsets. Seems like a year ago.com/Qr7vB21Aw7—

Kelly turned out to be a bonanza. His identical twin, retired astronaut Mark
Kelly, offered himself up as a medical guinea pig so researchers could study #
the differences between the genetic doubles, one in space and the other on the
ground. Russia continues to rule, however, when it comes to long-duration
spaceflight. That's where he'll be reunited with his two daughters, ages 21 and
12; his girlfriend, a NASA public affairs representative at Johnson Space
Center; and his brother."Those of us who dream of sending astronauts to deep
space thank Scott Kelly for his sacrifice," said Jim Green, director of
planetary science for NASA, "and are thrilled to welcome him home

This comes just after a week
Reportedly, it was a 259-second test and the main aim of the test was to check
how safe the system is.ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has tested a
capsule prototype which will be used to send a group of humans in space, under
its first manned space mission. The ISRO chairman also stated that the human
space programme will need to provide the involved crew with all the support
amidst space which includes continuous oxygen supply, controlled pressure and
environment system, food supply, human waste discharge system and crew
protection system involving the escape capsule. Now, ISRO is hustling towards
yet another feet of propelling a group of humans in space. The propeller was
launched and sent in the air where the capsule got separated from the rocket
unit.
This comes just after a week that we came to know India could be the first
country to step on the South side of the moon in order to mine the highly
precious nuclear fuel helium 3. The model was placed inside the capsule which
was strapped to a rocket propeller. The capsule landed slowly on the estimated
spot in the sea, hanging on a pair of parachutes, as can be seen by the photo
released by TOI.. The ISRO chairman K Sivan told The Times of India that the Pad
Abort or crew bailout system which was tested at 7 AM on July 5 was a victory.
The tests suggest that India, in the coming days, might accomplish the task and
make it to the list Color capsules
Suppliers of countries to have sent a crew in space, similar to Russia, US
and China.Instead of a human, the test was conducted with the help of a crew
model.As for the budget of the mission, ISRO will be releasing the report of the
tests and analysis to the government, as stated by the ISRO chairman.India has
never sent a human to space but an India IAF pilot Rakesh Sharma did a trip on a
Soviet spacecraft in 1984. The team intended to inspect if the capsule safely
unfixes and deploys the parachute in case of emergencies
