This hasn’t been a good week for space. Russia has been using the International Space Station to spread propaganda. The astronauts have been promoting the Ukrainian separatists. They have changed a recent rocket and their launch equipment to promote the separatists too. NASA launched CAPSTONE a few days ago to test an orbit for Gateway (a lunar space station). The satellite was disconnected from the Deep Space network. The connections were re-established today. The satellite is only 50 pounds and is very small.
