The mission of the International Space Station continues with a most recent re-supply mission being launched from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. What makes this one interesting though, is that the Antares rocket used to launch this particular mission will be fundamentally changing in the coming years thanks to the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, who’s very cosmonauts will be among those benefiting from the supplies in this mission. Today, I’ll explain what those changes are and why they matter. We will also discuss all the most important things happening in the space. 

Welcome to the Undiscovered Country!   Welcome to the Undiscovered Country!  This is part of my Space Brief series where I outline the top 5 most important things that are happening in the world of space.  This is not going to be a super polished and super edited presentation, but a short overview of important events including some commentary about why it all matters.  This is not a one-sided presentation, it’s a discussion.  Did I get the stories right?  Did I miss an important consideration?  Join the conversation and let me know!
