Functional testing of the Crew Quarter Window Shutter Assembly is underway. Axiom Station crewmembers will be able to operate the window shutters from inside their rooms to block light, heat, and protect them from the orbital debris environment.

'the orbital debris environment' sounds so much nicer than 'space junk that will Kessler you into pate'.

Why are there no cables for gravity compensation? What are you testing for?

Is this based on the same mechanism that the Cupola uses?

That’s wonderful but how far behind are you guys if your just testing that now.

@DJSnM I bet a lot of people are wondering about this shutter assembly. Is it really needed? How does it work? How do similar mechanisms on the space station work?

The "pop-up" staff is a brilliant, highly functional piece of Japanese station design. At many Japanese metro and train stations, station staff can literally appear from a hinged panel or window in the wall right behind or next to the ticket vending machines.

#WATCH | Delhi | On govt banning Telegram until NEET re-test, National Testing Agency DG Abhishek Singh says, "People can operate some channels by using VPN or they can operate from outside India. But the fact is that the lack of students who are accessing them, they will not be able to access that. Even though they can continue operating them channels, but if there is no clientele, the fraud will be prevented and the students will be protected from losing money and from wasting their time in chasing fake question papers."

From one Dragon to another. This time-lapse video from the orbital outpost looks out a window on the SpaceX #Dragon crew spacecraft to the Dragon cargo spacecraft beginning at sunrise above Central Africa then ending above the Indian Ocean south of Madagascar.

Border patrol agent smashed the window of this Hondorian illegal alien in Minnesota. Whatever it takes boys! Did these people think that their car is going to protect them from deportation?

The #Ax4 crew is on their way to quarantine. Before they go, Axiom Space employees came together to celebrate. Crew Send-off is a tradition that pays tribute to the dedication and tireless efforts of staff prior to the crew embarking on their mission. From #TeamAxiom, Godspeed #Ax4!

A room with a view: The aurora today as seen from the SpaceX Dragon window. Space station is moving foward and the window looks out in the direction of travel. You can make out the window framing. Z9 1/4s 15mm ISO 8000 MP4.

Fun fact, in real life snipers who are set up inside buildings actually sit far away from the window so they can only be seen from tight and small angles. If you sit close to the window you are easier to spot and shoot.

Israeli citizens are absolutely terrified. They admit on camera that their cities are taking direct hits from Iranian missiles and their safe rooms aren't enough to protect them from the massive blasts. The illusion of safety is gone.

“The US government will do what Somalia tells them to do, and nothing else. My goal is to protect Somalias interest from inside the US Congress.” This video alone should be enough to have her removed from office and deported!”

I made it clear to the members of the Security Council: Lebanon will not be able to talk about sovereignty as long as Hezbollah continues to fire on Israeli citizens and operate from its territory. It is time to ask them the really hard questions.

The view out of the International Space Station window can be stunning. This timelapse video captures the Aurora Borealis from the port window of the ISS cupola window as we orbit over the Northern US and Canada. You can also see the Moon set behind the station solar panels and even a shooting star! The shimmering ribbons of green and red light are caused by oxygen in the upper atmosphere that has been ionized and excited by solar activity. Nikon Z9, 28mm, f/1.4, ¼ sec exposures, 1 second interval
