China will launch its sixth crewed mission, Shenzhou-11, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre around 23:30 universal time on Sunday, an airspace notification indicates.

A Long March 2F rocket will lift off between 07:25 and 07:50 Beijing time to send Shenzhou-11 and its two astronauts into orbit to dock with the Tiangong-2 space lab.

The astronauts will spend a national record of more than 30 days in space, testing advanced life support systems and conducting science experiments as part of preparations for a large permanent space station.

Mission managers have decided to postpone the upcoming burn of main rocket motor originally scheduled for Oct. 19. This burn, called the period reduction maneuver (PRM), was to reduce Juno’s orbital period around Jupiter from 53.4 to 14 days. The decision was made in order to further study the performance of a set of valves that are part of the spacecraft’s fuel pressurization system. The period reduction maneuver was the final scheduled burn of Juno’s main engine.

Mission designers had originally planned to limit the number of science instruments on during Juno’s Oct. 19 close flyby of Jupiter. Now, with the period reduction maneuver postponed, all of the spacecraft’s science instruments will be gathering data during the upcoming flyby.

Every time I take a close look at Curiosity wheel damage, I realize it's not progressing very fast at all. Good job, rover drivers!

Z reportáže z IAC se mi někdy v průběhu psaní stala snaha o co nejstručnější shrnutí výhod a nevýhod konceptů pilotovaných misí na Mars... Ve druhé části ale už bude víc skutečně o kongresu!

Takze automaticka sestava stavebniho robota a nejakym zpusobem foldnutyho solarniho pole pri pokryti energetickejch potreb pri stavbe muze byt autonomni a nepotrebuje obsluhu, nebo muze byt soucasti pilotovanyho letu, autonomne pristat na povrchu, sestavit se, natisknout habitat, zatimco prvni pruzkumnici budou surfovat na orbitě a provádět další průzkumnou část mise. A až bude základna sestavená, sestoupí hlavní část výpravy. Případně může být dvou/tříčlenná obsluha v přistávacím modulu dohlížet během stavby.
