A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket bring the companys Crew Dragon spacecraft is released on NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina onboard, Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 objective is the 5th team rotation objective of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agencys Commercial Crew Program. By combining data from NASAs James Webb Space Telescope and NASAs Hubble Space Telescope, scientists were able to trace light that was produced by the large white elliptical galaxy at left through the spiral galaxy at right and identify the effects of interstellar dust in the spiral galaxy. NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory caught this image of a solar flare– as seen in the brilliant flash on the top right– on October 2, 2022.
Introducing a brand-new crew to the spaceport station, the plan progressing for Artemis I, and Webbs make over at a set of galaxies … a few of the stories to inform you about– This Week at NASA!
NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 Launches to the Space Station
NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 mission released to the International Space Station (ISS) on October 5. Crew-5 will spend 6 months on the station performing research study and technology demonstrations that benefit people in the world and lays the foundation for future Artemis human expedition missions to the Moon and ultimately to Mars.

Artemis I Teams Focus on November for Launch Attempt
In the wake of Hurricane Ian, teams at NASAs Kennedy Space Center are looking at the November 12 through November 27 timeframe for the next Artemis I introduce effort. Artemis I updates are readily available at blogs.nasa.gov/ artemis.
By integrating information from NASAs James Webb Space Telescope and NASAs Hubble Space Telescope, scientists were able to trace light that was emitted by the big white elliptical galaxy at left through the spiral galaxy at right and determine the results of interstellar dust in the spiral galaxy. This picture of galaxy pair VV 191 includes near-infrared light from Webb, and ultraviolet and noticeable light from Hubble.

Webb and Hubble Image Features Galaxy Pair.
A brand-new Webb Space Telescope image of a spiral galaxy and an elliptical galaxy, combined with a Hubble Space Telescope image, is helping scientists study the impacts of interstellar dust and assisted them recognize a previously unidentified lensed galaxy for the very first time.

Sun Releases Intense Solar Flare.
On October 2, NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the Sun giving off an X1-class solar flare. X-class flares can impact radio communications and electrical power grids in the world and present dangers to spacecraft and astronauts in area.
Thats whats up today @NASA.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket bring the companys Crew Dragon spacecraft is released on NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina onboard, Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASAs SpaceX Crew-5 mission is the 5th team rotation objective of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the firms Commercial Crew Program.
