NASA astronaut Don Pettit and two cosmonaut colleagues will return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday night (April 19), if all goes to plan.

The journey home for Pettit, Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner will begin Saturday at 5:57 p.m. EDT (2157 GMT), when their Russian Soyuz spacecraft undocks from the ISS' Rassvet module. The trio will touch down on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan, just a few hours later, around 9:20 p.m. EDT (0120 GMT and 6:20 a.m. local Kazakh time on April 20). NASA will webcast the homecoming live, and Space.com will carry the agency's feed if it's made available.

N.A.S.A.'s Voyager has encountered 305 objects

 N.A.S.A.'s Voyager has encountered 305 objects moving in a non-natural movement.  It appears that they are moving with guidance like a drone-type object. Voyager is more than 8 million miles away.  It is speculated that all the objects are communicating with each other.  It doesn't appear that these 305 objects are just basic space debris as they don't show what standard comments would look like. NASA cannot figure out the propulsion of these 305 objects moving towards Earth. Amateur radio enthusiasts around the planet are picking up blips and different types of static now.  These anomalies are lining up with Voyager's same data being transmitted back to Earth. These blips and static are being rhythmic but not strong. Is this bleed through or intentional?  Is someone out there testing the Earth's capability of how it listens in space. NASA started to encrypt data between Voyager and NASA.  NASA started to look at past data from all deep space vehicles...

  (NASA) Trump admin cancels lease for NASA's NYC Goddard Institute for Space Studies Lab It would appear that the latest wave of U.S. federal program cuts fueled by the Trump administration has affected NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) lab in New York City, a branch of the agency dedicated to studying climate change and other Earth sciences. On Friday (April 25), news outlets such as CNN and SpaceNews reported that GISS's lease on office space in a Columbia University building in Manhattan's Upper West Side is set to be canceled. According to SpaceNews, an April 24 email sent to Goddard employees and signed by Makenzie Lystrup, director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland (the parent organization of GISS), stated that the lease will end on May 31. The news outlet says the lease, which costs the agency $3.03 million annually, was originally supposed to last through August 2031. Read More
