The jetpacks, also known as SAFERs (Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue), provide astronauts the ability to maneuver back to the station in the unlikely event they became untethered during a spacewalk. Meanwhile, Hoburg verified the battery power of jetpacks attached to spacesuits. Near the end of the day, Rubio consolidated food supplies in preparation for Cygnus’s arrival. On Friday, August 4, Hoburg will capture Cygnus using Canadarm2, and Rubio will act as backup, marking Northrop Grumman’s 19 th commercial resupply mission.

Columbia and the STS-107 crew were lost over east Texas during the landing descent to Kennedy Space Center on February 1, 2003, approximately 16 minutes before landing. The 16-day research mission was the 28th flight of the orbiter Columbia and the 113th flight overall in NASA’s Space Shuttle Program. Following a flawless and uneventful countdown, liftoff occurred at 10:39 a.m. In this image, the launch of space shuttle Columbia on mission STS-107 is reflected in nearby water as billows of smoke and steam roll across the landscape.

The CRS-19 Cygnus spacecraft is named after NASA astronaut Dr. The duo completed another robotics practice session of Cygnus berthing and capture in the morning, followed by a practice of grapple procedures in the Cupola using the station’s robotic arm, Canadarm2, in the afternoon. NASA astronauts Woody Hoburg and Frank Rubio spent most of their day preparing for Friday’s capture of Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft. ![]() Health investigations and spacesuit surveys were also conducted. On Monday, July 31, the Expedition 69 crew geared up for a cargo delivery to the International Space Station (ISS) this week. The crew also engaged in health investigations, spacesuit surveys, and preparing for a Russian spacewalk.
