At 8:30 PM on the 8th (Korean time), the Soyuz spacecraft carrying Korean-American Jonny Kim docked with the International Space Station (ISS), opened its hatch, and greeted the astronauts on board.



At 2:47 PM, the Soyuz spacecraft (Soyuz MS-27) was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. A total of three people, including Jonny Kim and two Russian astronauts, were on board this manned spacecraft.



They docked to the ISS that day, opened the hatch at 8:30 PM, and greeted the astronauts on board.

These three astronauts will stay on the ISS for about eight months before returning to Earth in December, performing missions such as scientific research.



Meanwhile, Johnny Kim, born in Los Angeles, California in 1984, enlisted in the Navy right after graduating from high school. After completing Navy SEAL training, he was deployed to various sites.

Johnny Kim received benefits from the U.S. military's educational support program and entered the University of San Diego. He majored in mathematics, graduated with honors, and entered Harvard Medical School. He completed pilot training in the Navy and is a Navy fighter pilot and flight surgeon.



On the 19th of last month, Johnny Kim participated in an online interview hosted by NASA and said, "There is a lot of work that goes into carrying out all space missions, so just contributing to such space missions is very meaningful."

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But 'Resource Recovery' Isn't Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

이미지
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho will be launched for the fourth time in November. Nuriho plans to build technological sophistication through its sixth launch in the future. [Photo = Korea Aerospace Research Institute] Large and small launch vehicle companies have joined forces to develop future space transportation technology. Perigee Aerospace (Perigee) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Aerospace on the 26th to establish a cooperative system between the two companies for the development of space transportation technology. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to share technological and sales capabilities to strengthen space launch vehicle development capabilities and continue strategic cooperation. The Hanwha Aerospace delegation, which visited the Perigee Rocket Development Complex (RDC) in Okcheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, signed the business agreement and toured the development status of the space launch vehicle 'Blue Whale 1 (BW1)' cu...

When a star swallows a planet... [Now in space]

What happens when a star swallows a planet? The James Webb Space Telescope has released the results of observing a star 12,000 light-years away from Earth using its observation equipment. NASA reported the news on the 10th (local time). In conclusion, the star did not swell enough to swallow the planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, the planet's orbit gradually approached the star and was absorbed by the star. As the planet's orbit gradually got closer to the star, the planet was finally swallowed by the star. [Photo = NASA, ESA, CSA, R. Crawford (STScI)] The process of a star swallowing a planet revealed by NASA was that a planet the size of Jupiter first orbited very close to the star, closer than Mercury orbiting the Sun. Then, the planet's orbit gradually decreased over time. The planet gradually approached the star. As it approached the star, the planet began to brush against the star's atmosphere. As the planet fell in...
