Rymdstationen tappade kommunikationsmöjligheter unde veckan.

NASA lost regular communication with the International Space Station on
Tuesday and has since established only limited connections. The space agency
said it was doing a routine update of computer software when communications
were lost, leaving the craft able to communicate only every 90 minutes when
it passes over ground stations in Russia. “This is the same way they used to
do it in the 1960s, with Gemini and Apollo,” NASA spokesman Josh Byerly
said. “The crew is working on this, and they’ll get it back up and running.”
The station, which is carrying one American astronaut and two Russian
cosmonauts, does not appear to be in danger. “It’s not a panicked mood that
takes over mission control,” Byerly said. “Anybody’s who’s been here has
seen that.” Aboard the station, Commander Kevin Ford told mission control
during a pass over a Russian ground station that the craft is “still flying
straight” and that “everybody’s in good shape.” The loss in communications
is not considered unprecedented, though it is thought to be a cause for
concern, officials said. The station is the product of a partnership among
16 nations and carries six laboratories for space research.

Det är annars väldigt mycket trafik från ISS på 145.825 samt 145.800.

*Nyheter från spacetrack

We are pleased to announce the upgrade of www.Space-Track.org to add the
look and functionality that matches what is now on
https://beta.space-track.org. The bulk file downloads from our current
Space-Track site will continue to be available to scripters for a limited
time after the upgrade using established URLs.

This upgrade will vastly improve how the Space-Track User community
interacts with orbital element sets, the satellite catalog and conjunction
data. With a robust Representational State Transfer (REST-ful)
Application Programming Interface (API), scripters will be able to get the
latest data available, customized for their purposes.

Here are just a few of the new features that will become part of the
upgraded www.Space-Track.org:
– A streamlined and intuitive user interface that is easier to navigate
and allows simple searches
– A robust help and documentation section – “Favorites” lists to identify
logical groupings of catalog objects that Users can monitor via the web
interface or with the site’s API

If you have production scripts that currently use beta.space-track.org, we
recommend that you change your scripts to point at www.Space-Track.org on
or after 20 February 2013.

If you have scripts that screen-scrape or download text/zip files from the
current yellow-colored legacy www.Space-Track.org, they will continue to
perform correctly for a few months, but we recommend that you quickly
transition your scripts to take advantage of the new API. Documentation
is available under “Help” to assist you, as well as the API query builder
tool on the upgraded site.

We have also started sharing information about Space-Track’s new features
on tumblr, facebook and twitter, so please engage us on your favorite
social media platform.

Our sites are http://space-track.tumblr.com,
http://www.facebook.com/SpaceTrack and http://www.twitter.com/SpaceTrackOrg

We understand that any significant upgrade has the potential to cause
frustration for our user community and we apologize if this creates any
adjustment problems for you. For help or clarification, please email us
at admin@space-track.org.

Thank you,
The www.Space-Track.org Team

Vi kör ett nät även nästa söndag på 3740 klockan 10.00
