Smoke in the Northwest

"Extreme heat, bouts of strong winds, and a prolonged drought are fueling large forest fires in western Canada and the United States.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image of smoke spreading across parts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Montana on August 16, 2023. That same day, astronauts aboard the International Space Station captured the detailed photograph below, which shows smoke in valleys in British Columbia near the towns of Golden and Revelstoke.

The surge in fire activity follows the peak of an extreme heat wave that broke dozens of heat records in British Columbia on August 14. But even as temperatures cooled some in the following days, lightning storms triggered new fires, and strong winds turned small blazes into fast-moving, smoky infernos. Authorities in both the United States and Canada issued air quality alerts and, in some cases, calls to evacuate as smoke and fire threatened communities.

The recent heat and winds add to the existing problem of a prolonged drought that has affected the area since last year and primed vegetation to burn. According to the North American Drought Monitor, much of the Pacific Northwest was either abnormally dry or in moderate to extreme drought in mid-August 2023.

Canada is facing one of the worst fire years it has seen in decades, according to data published by the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. More than 13.7 million hectares (33.9 million acres) had burned as of August 17, more than seven times the 25-year average. The United States has had a quieter wildfire season, with 1.7 million acres burned by mid-August. On average, 4.4 million acres have usually burned by mid-August, according to the U.S. National Interagency Fire Center.

NASA Earth Observatory image by Lauren Dauphin, using MODIS data from NASA EOSDIS LANCE and GIBS/Worldview. Astronaut photograph ISS069-E-61356 was acquired on August 17, 2023, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using an 50 millimeter lens and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 69 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Story by Adam Voiland."

Album & EP Recommendations

Freakout / Release by Hot Chip

They may be nearly 30 years and 8 albums in at this point, but electro-pop legends Hot Chip are still yet to deliver a bad record. Reuniting with one another following lockdown, the London-based dance machine unleashed all their pent-up energy into this new wild collection of synth-soaked tracks found on Freakout / Release.

The record starts strong, with the album’s three excellent teaser tracks greeting listeners to their liberated new energy. Opener Down features an addictive groove reminiscent of their early classic Over & Over, but with some added soul-influence provided by a brilliant sample of Universal Togetherness Band’s More Than Enough. Second single Eleanor then features a typically playful melody, catchy chorus and some trancey dance synths, but with dark lyrics at the heart about suffering through unimaginable pain. The title track is then instantly one of the best Hot Chip tracks of recent years, boasting some distorted robotic vocals reminiscent of their own track Huarache Lights, whilst frontman Alexis Taylor sings “Music used to be an escape, now I can’t escape it.” Before long, the track breakouts into a barrage of reverbing rock guitars and hard synths, helping the song to truly live up to its name.

Outside of the three singles there’s plenty more to enjoy here though. Hard To Be Funky is the album’s smoothest number whilst The Evil That Men Do is arguably the band’s most overtly political song to date, also featuring a killer cameo from Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon.

However, the album really shines when Hot Chip show their vulnerable side. Broken is a heartfelt song about sheer desperation, which is brightened up by the song’s hopeful, pop-tinged melody. Not Alone is then instantly one of the most beautiful tracks the band have ever written - a song about new musical collaborations that also doubles-up as a shimmering love song, elevated by chime-like electronics and the gorgeous, contrasting vocal styles of Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor.

Eight albums in and Hot Chip continue to sound not only as fresh and vibrant as ever, but also deliver some of their very best work too. Whilst overall it may not be their absolute best album yet, it’s still a solid outing from a legendary act that continue to do no wrong.

Stellar Drifting by George Fitzgerald

I feel like I say this most weeks, but incredible electronic records have really been in abundance this year. With the likes of Bonobo, Lane 8, Kavinsky, Moderat, HAAi and Mall Grab all delivering great records this year to name just a few, it already feels like a hallmark year for synth-soaked, mind-bending sonic whirlpools. Now you have another to add to that pile and that is the latest outing from Mr George Fitzgerald.

Titled Stellar Drifting, this third album from George began life with him using pictures of stars and galaxies and turning them into audio wavelengths. From there he would build the sounds out, until they eventually became the 10 tracks on Stellar Drifting. Cosmonaut Alley takes the listener on a journey across Jupiter whilst The Last Transmission imagines a spaceman’s final message to Earth. Therapeutic and uplifting, this collection of ambient tracks will charm, soothe and relax in equal measure. Amidst all the celestial wonder, there’s some great collaborations to be found too with George teaming up with the likes of Panda Bear (Passed Tense), SOAK (Rainbows and Dreams), Ellie Goulding (Cold) and London Grammar (The Last Transmission).

As a huge fan of George’s last album All That Must Be, which even finished in my Top 20 Albums of the Year for 2018, I’m pleased that this latest effort is as equally spellbinding. Magically constructed from cosmic patterns, it’s an interstellar trip that you’ll want to take again and again.

Sing With Abandon by VLMV

If you are partial to the soaring post-rock instrumentals from the likes of Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, then do not sleep on this latest album from London-based ambient rock outfit VLMV.

Boasting haunting, beautifully atmospheric, string-drenched soundscapes, it makes for a constantly enchanting and spine-tingling listen. With the album almost a 50/50 split between complete instrumentals and some vocal-led pieces, the moments when the soft ethereal harmonies come in really take the record to another level. On tracks like There Are Mountains Underneath Us, For Empire and The Navigator, it adds just another dimension to the melancholic beauty that seeps out of every pore of this record.

At just 35 minutes long, there’s no reason to not set half an hour aside to just bask in the glorious ambient splendour of Sing With Abandon. This is an album that has had a huge impact on me in a short space of time and I can already see it sneaking into my Top 50 Albums of the Year as wintertime arrives and the weather inevitably has me yearning to return to this album’s dark majesty. Can’t recommend this enough!

Moondust for My Diamond (Every Piece of Dust Edition) by Hayden Thorpe

Originally released last year, Hayden Thorpe’s second solo outing Moondust For My Diamond went on to become one of my Top 5 albums of 2021. Upbeat and free-flowing with richly intricate and multi-layered synth-driven instrumentation, it’s littered with radiant melodies that provide the perfect backdrop for Hayden’s philosophical musings, inspired by long walks in his homeland of the Cumbrian Lake District. If you’ve yet to hear it, there is no better time as he recently released a new Deluxe Version – the Every Piece of Dust Edition.

Featuring the original album along with several remixes and four brand new tracks, the highlights of this new version include the haunting atmospherics of In the Drift, the extra hypnotic and trippy Nakhane remix of Parallel Kingdom and, of course, recent single Polygod. The latter remains one of his best songs to date, with Hayden repeating the instantly catchy refrain of “Set me on fire” against some glistening instrumentation. About midway through the track really comes alive, with some piercing, 80s-style distorted guitars bringing some additional funky flavour to the track.

Pre Pleasure by Julia Jacklin

““I care so much about the people around me,” reveals Jacklin in an album press release, “so much it makes me want to sleep forever, it feels so overwhelming”. This care and vulnerability pours out through the ten tracks on PRE PLEASURE. This really is a gorgeous collection of songs that are deeply personal and crafted so eloquently. It’s a beautifully contemplative listen from an authentic and big-hearted songwriter.”

Tracks of the (Last Few!) Week(s)

There’d Better Be A Mirrorball by Arctic Monkeys

The big single release of the last few weeks was of course the much-anticipated return of Sheffield’s finest. Not too much is known at this stage which direction the Monkeys will take with their new record, however a recent interview with drummer Matt Helders did seem to suggest they would continue down the same path as their last album, the much-debated Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

This first teaser certainly backs up that theory, as There’d Better Be A Mirrorball has the same lounge feel and aesthetic, but with added grandiose strings and noticeably more sincerity. Set to be the opener for forthcoming album The Car, it doesn’t give too much away but already feels like a step up from their previous outing. As someone who really wasn’t a fan of their last album, this one has got me (somewhat surprisingly) quite intrigued.

Listen here

Weird Goodbyes by The National featuring Bon Iver

You only have to see the words “The National featuring Bon Iver” to know this is excellent. A stirring composition thanks to a gentle piano line, some moody electronics and a touch of strings, the track becomes particularly goosebump-inducing when those gorgeous vocal harmonies between Justin Vernon and Matt Berninger finally come together. Utterly stunning.

Listen here

Little Blue by Swim Deep

Everything Brummie indie darlings Swim Deep seem to touch just radiates sunshine and latest single Little Blue is no different. With some distorted pop synths, a playful drum beat and an instantly catchy chorus of “We’re going to make it here”, it’s stylistically different to their previous output but no less optimistically blissful.

Listen here

Kid Gloves by Low Island

Oxford electro-pop outfit continue the build towards their second album Life In Miniature with this incredible second single. Bouncing along with a shimmering synth-driven melody, heartfelt lyrics and some wonderful gospel-like vocals, every song these guys release these days seems to be better than what preceded it – keep them coming!

Listen here

Only You Say It by Lonely The Brave

Their first new music since last year’s third album The Hope List, Cambridge rockers Lonely The Brave have recently served up another powerful, hard-hitting anthem just in time for their upcoming UK tour. If they’re playing near you and there’s still tickets, I highly recommend popping along as these guys will completely blow you away.

Listen here

Merging Into You / European Son by Maxïmo Park

With their Singular tour celebrating their biggest and greatest hits just on the horizon, legendary Geordie indie outfit Maxïmo Park have served up a new double A side for fans to enjoy. Merging Into You is a horn-backed slice of their vintage sound which continues their renaissance following last year’s Nature Always Wins. On the flip side, European Son is a politically charged, 80s-tinged number, that sounds almost like The Smiths meets Human League. Both great!

Listen here

ATK by Bonobo

Fresh off his excellent Fragments album released earlier this year and some outstanding festival performances over the summer, Simon Green has returned with more music in the form of new single ATK. With a colourful blend of tropical sounds and a wonderful celebratory feel, it’s a typically mesmerising and joyous cut from the electronic maestro.

Listen here

Prettier by Bexx

Rising star Bexx has already delivered great singles like Hard To Love and One More Night that showcase her exceptional talent for writing glossy, retro-inspired pop tunes. Now with recent release Prettier, she shows off her more aggressive, grittier side with a heavy rock banger that takes fierce aim at people who body shame. There’s also a fun horror movie inspired music video that you can watch below.

Watch the Prettier video here

Shout by Placebo

There are few bands that do a better cover than Placebo – see their takes on Bigmouth Strikes Again and, most famously, Running Up That Hill as just two prime examples. Now adding a new one to their collection, they’ve recently delivered a particularly faithful cover of the Tears For Fears classic, distinguished only by Brian Molko’s sublime, distinct vocals.

Listen here

You Get What You Give (Apple Music Home Session) by Jamie T

And I leave you this week with another cover, this time Jamie T covering the New Radicalz classic You Get What You Give. Just Jamie on his own with a piano and an electric guitar, it’s a unique, stripped-back and worthwhile take on the 90s one hit wonder.

If Bombshells ever returned, maybe to explore the aftereffects of the war. Here are some superheroines and supervillainesses that could join the fight into the new era. The Cold War.

Jesse Quick; Jesse would totally join the families providing their homes to the displaced Jews of Europe while at the same time protecting her city from all sorts of crime. But her storyline might come with learning that in her need to help everyone and solving everyone's problems since she has the technology and the privlege, well... kinda appears as a white savior. At least to Lisa Snart which brings me to...

Golden Glider: Well I think we can all guess that Lisa has a Jewish-like last name and while her big bro, Captain Cold, Leonard was working with the Nazis, I am so arguing that he was just conveinately converting in order to save his skin and his sister's. Anyway with her brother in jail and Europe in shambles after the war, Lisa can travel to America with other displaced Jews. Some families were kind enough to "foster" these peoples which is where Jesse comes in. Well Lisa isn't the type to accept the "pity" and dislikes how priviliged a life, Jesse leads. Then comes a whole new yet classic Flash vs the Rogues rivalry.

Nyssa ah Gul: How can we forget another misplaced Jew. Well not Jew but Ra ah Gul's other daughter, Nyssa, whose entire adopted family died in the concentration camps while Ra was off whatevering with the Lazerus Pit. But since Ra's long gone from the picture, I suppose Nyssa will have to seek answers from Talia about why she didn't try to help her or contact her after finding out they were sisters.

Mya: Meanwhile after WWII, India is revving up for a revolution after being used and abused by the British Empire in a war they didn't even want to be in. And after being in the war, STILL treated like second class citizens. That's why Myra, prodigy of Shiva is up to lead a revolution for her people.

Gypsy: Let’s not forget about all the other groups that Nazis were prejudiced against. Cynthia Reynolds or "Gypsy" as the SS slurred against her and her Romanian family. But with Europe's landscape in disarray, Cynthia can use her earth-bending powers to help and educate people that she is more than the fortune telling, pick pocketing stereotype that the world believes.

Volcana: Now I know we didn't really get into Italy's part in WWII, but someone with volcano powers would totally be working in Italy, specifically Pompeii. The one issue is that, like in her origin story, she was working for Mussolini against her will and the Italian still wants their "super weapon" under lock and key in case of WWIII.

Thorn: Meanwhile the late 40s-early 50s is totally not a time to be woman with a mental illness. Especially when the "understanding" doctors try to lobtomize you. So Roselyn Forrest's double personality disorder is a big problem in her life. Especially since her second personality is a scythe weilding maniac and her uncle wants to put her in an institution. Added to the fact that she is still suffering under Irish discrimination. Hopefully the Batgirls can help, not only change child labor laws, but views on mental illness too. Giganta: A gorilla turned into a girl. Why shouldn't that be an experiment by the crazy Americans or Russians in a way to beat each other as the world superpower. Well technically the Russians wanted to send a gorilla into space and beat the Americans, but they thought a woman astronaut (or as they called cosmonaut) would make them look better. (All true look up Valentina , first woman in space). But besides being part of the space race, Giganta can bring spotlight to Africa where she was born, and which is being divided by the major world powers for exploitation.

Crimson Fox: Constance D' Amis, French heiress would be part of the small army of woman workers during the YALTA conferance trying to get their say into how to rebuild Europe for the benefit of all. Who knows, maybe she even talked to Selina Delgatti. Hey French heiresses and Italian heiresses must know each other. Plus she expels hormones that can make anyone under her thrall which leads me to...

Queen Bee: Another pheromone expelling woman. A villainess though. Africa wasn't the only one being exploited and colonized. The former Ottoman Empire was being exploited for its oil and Lebenon is taken over by the French (Basically ample reason for Constance to go to Lebenon and fight Queen Bee). And the former queen is certainly not above going to the Russians to fight the US/Europe to get her country back. Or just team up with Lex Luthor to take down Supergirl and get her country back. I just imagine Lex and --- to be like an evil Mr.Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet okay. All suave, witty banter. It makes sense in my head.

Catherine Colbert: A bit like Lois Lane, Catherine is an everygirl. Well if the everygirl was a daughter of an dimplomat and had her sights on making a name for herself in NASA and trying to avoid the pressures of mysgonistic men that woman aren't fit for government. Being told that she is too emotional and should stay in the kicthen, Catherine rebelled by becoming a stone faced, cutting ice queen in the diplomacy track and also a horrible cook. Artemis and Cheshire: I'm taking a bit from the YJ story in that Artemis and Cheshire are half-french, half-Vietnamese. Since their abusive father was loyal to the Nazis, he disowned them and cast off their Vietnamese mother in Japanese concentration camps. While Artemis made it to America and tried to stay on the good ol American democratic way (while fighting petty looters in the streets of Gotham as one does), Cheshire went to Vietnam where she works as an assasin, for the communists and the non-communists. It doesn't matter to her as long as she gets paid. But times are changing in Vietnam as the fights about communism between the North Vietnamese and South escalate.

Lady Blackhawk: Zinda Blake, hero of WWII and the Blackhawk brigade comes home to nothing. No money. No pension. No respect. Life as a veteran has no perks since no one has money to pay in Europe. Plus she'd still be trying to adjust to civilian life after nonstop combat and the inevitable PTSD while the Germany she loved is split into two. Hopefully Rudi and Helen will help to keep her in a safe place until she can get back on her feet. Miss Martian: While I don't know whose in Harley, Ivy and Viktoria's circus, I feel like Miss Martian would find a safe haven there. While she did not experience the WWII, she did experience a similar prejudice and genocide on Mars being a white martian so I bet she can help with reprations. Or just join Starfire on the fire squad...wait nevermind. Fire is Martian weakness. Well at least have her and Starfire being alien girlfriends exploring the strange Earth world together.

Rocket: Again, haven't had the joy of reading the final vol of Bombshells United so I don't know exactly what Bumblebee has been up to nor the racism she had probably experienced. But Raquel would be in a similar boat. An African American teen in an unjust pre-Civil Rights movement society with the added difficulties of teen mom hood. I really want some spotlight on her whether she joins the Batgirls or strike out on her own or helps Icon just like in the comics.

Mercy Graves: Alongside Lex wherever he is, I want a similar debut to what Mercy did in JL. Mercy takes over LexCorps during Luthor's absence, absolutely crushes it and makes it more of a success than Luthor ever did because she is not obsessed with the Kryptonian heroes. Maybe she even teams up with Waller? Who knows? Or even have two heads, Mercy Graves and Lena Luthor, making millions and making plans, evil or no, always ending on top.

Silver Banshee: A woman whose screams causes people to age. How they could NOT use her in a war, I do not know. But I picture Siobhan's arc going something like after her family dies in battle or something or other, she taps into her genetic banshee powers. Fueled with grief/cynicsm/vengeance she travels around the Iron Curtain, causing death since death is a mercy compared to living in destitute misery.

Plastique and Roxy Rocket: One is a Canadian explosives expert, another just really, really loves rockets. Both would be very useful on either side of the Cold War. They're traditionally illanesses so I could see them as double agents like Cheshire, working for whoever pays the most for their time.

Roulette: Roulette’s big thing is gambling on illegal cage fighting activities. Well lets up the ante by having her big gamble being stoking US/Russian tensions. After all the longer the war goes on, the more she gets paid for her information on the other side, her contacts for weapons, her spies etc. She'd be rolling in dough, and loving it even when under threat of nuclear destruction.

Fire and Ice: No idea how the heck they would fit in to a post WWII world. But let's suppose they want to escape Brazil and Antartica respectively to be able to help out in the aftermath after doing nothing during the war. Jessica Cruz and Aresia vs Star Sapphire Meanwhile with Hal Jordan out of the picture, let's have the infamous Green Lantern vs Star Sapphire rivalry again.

Lady Shiva: Street fighter, assassin, mother of the future Batwoman, Cassandra Cain. Lady Shiva must be part of the Cold War. She is bit of a anti-hero so I doubt anyone would know where her loyalties truly lie, but she'd be on the side of whoever her daughter wishes to protect.

Cassandra Cain: The new Black Bat, continue Katy Kane's work, and the Batgirl's work, and all the work that needs to be done after WWII. She's the new heroine.

Docking of the new 20 ton Russian MLM Nauka/3R science laboratory module today (29 July) to the SM Zvezda nadir port recently vacated by the DC-1 Pirs/4R docking compartment which Nauka has replaced.

Nauka which was backing up to the station performed two pitch manoeuvres during approach in order to perform two extra retro firings to slow it's approach. Then at the last moments cosmonaut Lt Col Alex Novitsky had to take over control using the TORU remote control system to manually fly and dock the massive module gently to the station (after the automated KURS system aborted I think, think I heard an abort announced).

Nauka in addition to housing experiments both internally and externally contains extra life support systems, an extra toilet, an extra crew sleeping compartment, allowing the Russian ISS contingent to be increased to three cosmonauts and a fuel transfer system (allowing supply craft to refuel the station) and the capability to provide altitude control for the whole station using a special set of thrusters. At its forward end (now lower earth pointing end) it has an airlock hatch and two more docking ports. One will initially be used for Progress and Soyuz docking's and the other for the attachment of an equipment airlock (currently stored externally on the Rassvet module waiting for Nauka). The new module will also be home to the European Robotic Arm which like the Canadian built SSRMS station arm, of which ERA resembles a smaller version, will be able to 'inch-worm' its way across various grapple/connection points across the Russian section. That has to be unwrapped from covers during an EVA before it can operate though. Pics: NASA TV

Every Record I Own - Day 501: Gorguts Colored Sands

There was so much exciting new metal released in 2019 that I had a difficult time keeping up with all of it. That enthusiasm isn’t necessarily a normal thing for me. Some years it seems like the entire metal community is on some different wavelength than I am and there is very little that grabs my attention. Such was the case in 2013, when I could count my personal metal highlights on one hand. But even if there wasn’t an abundance of heavy stuff that piqued my interest, the albums that grabbed my attention that year became obsessions. If my streaming data is correct, my most played song of 2013 was Gorguts’ “Forgotten Arrows.”

Don’t be fooled by the name: Gorguts isn’t some knucklehead goregrind band. While the French-Canadian outfit came onto the scene in the early ‘90s as a straight-up death metal band, they quickly evolved into more technical and forward-thinking territories. The band suffered through bad record deals, the waning popularity of the genre in the mid-’90s, line-up changes, and the suicide of drummer Steve MacDonald, the last of which formally ended Gorguts sometime in the early ‘00s. Sole original member Luc Lemay moved to the Quebec countryside and disappeared from public view.

And then ten years later Lemay showed back up with an all new line-up and a new record. This wasn’t some half-assed reunion or cash grab---Colored Sands is a complex, technically dazzling, and conceptually thorough update on Gorguts’ dizzying brand of death metal. And while the album is the antithesis of the current OSDM scene’s caveman approach, Lemay’s ambitious songwriting and knotty guitar lines never veer into virtuoso show-pony excess. It’s a warped and at times overwhelming record, but the overall vibe of the album suggests a kind of deliberately orchestrated madness rather than just vacant speed and hollow dissonance.

Even after six years, Colored Sands can be a lot to take in. But much like current death cosmonauts Blood Incantation, Lemay’s onslaught contains such a bounty of ideas and information that it’s a lasting joy to try and untangle, decipher, and process everything you’re hearing.

I was deep in the throes of a Google info spiral last night, one tab open on a diagram of the ISS, one on a video of Chris Hadfield answering schoolchildren’s questions in space, and I got to thinking.

I’ve thought about it before but I just love the idea of a modern space au. There are multiple options but before we go there allow me to share this playlist of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield kindly and enthusiastically answering questions from space: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPfak9ofGSn9vOEkIz328i4xQQq7e0kjc

Anyway options:

Cosmonaut Geno poking his head in the module to see what the new Canadian guy is up to and he sees Sid giving a talk like that, so sweet with the kids and so patient and excited about what he’s talking about.

“Oh shit,” thinks Cosmonaut Geno. He’s going to be in tight quarters with this incredible guy for months. Fuck shit damn.

You can also have Geno in Canada or the US, watching the broadcasts because he’s a giant nerd and and he just. Falls head over heels for Sid that way.

Or he’s a teacher whose class gets to video chat with an astronaut.

Or he’s a guy working on the ground crew for retrieving the Soyuz capsule after reentry. The Canadian astronaut may be pale, sweaty, and a little sick from his ordeal but Geno falls anyway.

OPTIONS!!!!

Three-Day Weekend for Astronauts as Cosmonauts Study Space Exercises

ISS - Expedition 59 Mission patch. June 7, 2019 Four Expedition 59 astronauts are taking a three-day weekend aboard the International Space Station after packing a U.S. space freighter for return to Earth. The two cosmonauts focused on exercise studies, physics research and life support maintenance on the Russian side of the orbiting lab.

Image above: This view from the International Space Station looks from northeast to southwest, from Greece, Italy and across the Mediterranean Sea to Libya. The Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft is pictured in the foreground. Image Credit: NASA. NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Anne McClain and Nick Hague and Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques are relaxing today following last weekend’s SpaceX Dragon cargo loading and closeout activities. The quartet spent the first part of the week cleaning and stowing hardware after Dragon returned to Earth Monday full of completed experiments and station gear for analysis.

Station Commander Oleg Kononenko attached sensors to Flight Engineer Alexey Ovchinin today monitoring his vital signs during an exercise study to determine the most effective workouts in space. Ovchinin cleaned up afterward then researched plasma crystals, or highly charged micro-particles that form self-organized structures in microgravity. The duo also checked life support systems, configured communications gear and inspected the structural integrity of the station’s Russian segment.

Soyuz crew set to try again, 5 months after frightening launch abort.

Five months after a frightening launch abort, cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin and NASA flight engineer Tyler "Nick" Hague, along with first time flier Christina Koch, are set for liftoff Thursday on a six-hour flight to the International Space Station, boosting the lab's crew back to six.

With Ovchinin strapped into the command module's center seat, flanked on the left by Hague and on the right by Koch, the Soyuz MS-12/58S spacecraft is scheduled for launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:14 p.m. EDT Thursday (12:14 a.m. Friday local time), kicking off an eight-minute 45-second climb to orbit.

If all goes well, the spacecraft will catch up with the station four orbits later, moving in for an automated docking at the Earth-facing Rassvet module around 9:07 p.m.

Ovchinin and Hague took off aboard the Soyuz MS-10/56S spacecraft on Oct. 11. But two minutes after liftoff, one of the rocket's four strap-on boosters failed to separate cleanly, triggering a catastrophic failure. The Soyuz spacecraft's abort system immediately kicked in, propelling the crew ship to safety for a parachute descent to Earth.

The problem with the normally reliable Soyuz booster was quickly identified and corrected and the station's current crew — Soyuz MS-11/57S commander Oleg Kononenko, Canadian astronaut-physician David Saint-Jacques and NASA flight engineer Anne McClain — enjoyed a problem-free ride to orbit Dec. 3.

Speaking with CBS News by satellite from Moscow last month, Hague said he continued to have full confidence in the safety and reliability of the Soyuz.

"I'm 100 percent confident," he said. "In the aftermath of the launch abort, watching the response from the Russians, the transparency and the way they approach that in terms of sharing their data and resolving the issues, it was impressive. The strength of the international cooperation was tested, and it's as strong as it's ever been."

That doesn't necessarily make it any easier for Hague's wife and two children. All three were on hand at Baikonur for the launch abort.

MOSCOW (AP) — The head of Russia's space program said Saturday that the future of the International Space Station hangs in the balance after the United States, the European Union, and Canadian space agencies missed a deadline to meet Russian demands for lifting sanctions on Russian enterprises and hardware.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, told reporters that the state agency is preparing a report on the prospects of international cooperation at the station, to be presented to federal authorities “after Roscosmos has completed its analysis.”

Rogozin implied on Russian state TV that the Western sanctions, some of which predate Russia’s current military operations in Ukraine, could disrupt the operation of Russian spacecraft servicing the ISS with cargo flights. Russia also sends manned missions to the space station.

He stressed the Western partners need the space station and “cannot manage without Russia, because no one but us can deliver fuel to the station.”

Rogozin added that “only the engines of our cargo craft can correct the ISS’s orbit, keeping it safe from space debris.”

Rogozin later Saturday wrote on his Telegram channel he received responses from his Western counterparts vowing to promote “further cooperation on the ISS and its operations.”

He reiterated his view that “the restoration of normal relations between partners in the ISS and other joint (space) projects is possible only with the complete and unconditional lifting” of sanctions, which he referred to as illegal.

Space is one of the last remaining areas of cooperation between Moscow and Western nations. U.S.-Russian negotiations on the resumption of joint flights to the space station were underway when Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine last month, prompting unprecedented sanctions on Russian state-linked entities.

So far, the U.S. and Russia are still cooperating in space. A NASA astronaut caught a Russian ride back to Earth on Wednesday after a U.S. record 355 days at the International Space Station, returning with two cosmonauts.

Mark Vande Hei landed in a Soyuz capsule in Kazakhstan alongside the Russian Space Agency’s Pyotr Dubrov, who also spent the past year in space, and Anton Shkaplerov. Wind blew the capsule onto its side following touchdown, and the trio emerged into the late afternoon sun one by one.

Vande Hei’s return followed customary procedures. A small NASA team of doctors and other staff was on hand for the touchdown and returned home immediately with the 55-year-old astronaut.
