An Astronaut's View from Space
NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman tweeted this photo from the International Space
Station on Tuesday morning, Sept. 2, 2014. "My favorite views from #space – just
past #sunrise over the ocean," the Expedition 40 astronaut tweeted.
The Expedition 40 crew has been busy aboard the Space Station, recently
performing health checks and humanoid robot upgrades. In the meantime, a trio of
orbital residents is packing up gear as they prepare to return home in less than
two weeks. Commander Steve Swanson powered down and stowed Robonaut 2 after
wrapping up its mobility upgrades this week. He installed new legs on the
humanoid robot including external and internal gear as well as cables. This sets
the stage for more upgrades in the fall before Robonaut takes its first steps as
an assistant crew member. Robonaut was designed to enhance crew productivity and
safety while also aiding people on Earth with physical disabilities.
