Two astronauts on the International Space Station began the first of three orbital releases planned to install new equipment, designed to allow the docking of two future vessels. (They will be built by Boeing and SpaceX. These vessels will route the astronauts to the space station from 2017. The US space agency hopes to end its expensive dependence vis-à-vis the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which since stop the space shuttle program in 2011, are the only way to transport men to the orbital outpost.)
NASA feared that its astronauts have again problems with their suit, but all went well. This week, NASA still marked by an incident on a combination of 2013, when water had forced an Italian astronaut to interrupt an emergency spacewalk, was concerned potential problems about spacesuits that would use the two Americans.
