Z-1 truss attached to International Space Station

HOUSTON, United States - An exterior framework known as the Z-1 truss (C) is installed onto the International Space Station (ISS) on Oct. 14. Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata began assembly work on the ISS using the space shuttle Discovery's robot arm, on the fourth day of an 11-day mission to add critical components to the expanding outpost. Wakata, one of seven Discovery crew members, plucked the Z-1 truss from the shuttle's cargo bay with the Canadian-made arm.

    China Launches 3 Astronauts To Tiangong Space Station

    This image captured at Beijing Aerospace Control Center on Oct. 30, 2024 shows a group photo of the crew of Shenzhou-18 and Shenzhou-19 manned spaceships. The three astronauts of China's Shenzhou-19 spaceflight mission have entered the Tiangong space station and met with another astronaut trio on Wednesday, starting a new round of in-orbit crew handover. The Shenzhou-18 crew opened the hatch at 12:51 p.m. (Beijing Time) and greeted the new arrivals, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). The six crew members then took group pictures for the fifth space get-together in China's aerospace history. They will live and work together for about five days to complete planned tasks and handover work, the CMSA said. The Shenzhou-18 crew is scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site in north China on Nov. 4. Photo by Li Jie/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
