Space Ice Management.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX - owned by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk - is working to convert its unmanned Dragon capsules into vessels that could carry astronauts to the space station within three years. Other U.S. companies also are vying to carry crews their also. Americans must ride the Russian rockets to orbit in the meantime, for a steep price. NASA's space station program manager, Mike Suffredini, is thrilled about having an American spacecraft bearing goods from 8 October 2012. It's much easier to get last-minute equipment aboard a U.S. capsule, he noted. Wise labs hopes to join with some design expertise as the Earth offers unique opportunities for freezer technologies to advance both waste management and debary alike. The Dragon, for example, will carry up a new pump for the space station's to turn urine-into-drinking water and add a recycling system before returning with a full payload. Shipping and customs can kill you when you're trying to get overseas Suffredini said joking  Musk, who monitored the launch from Space X Mission Control in Hawthorne, California, called the capsules Dragon after the magical Puff to 'joke back at critics' who a decade ago, considered his effort a mere fantasy. The name Falcon comes from the Millennium Falcon Starship of 'Star Wars' fame. An estimated 2,400 guests jammed the launching center to see the Falcon, with its Dragon, come to life for SpaceX's first official, operational supply mission completed.

Especially exciting for NASA is the fact that the Dragon will return twice as much cargo as it took up, including a stockpile of astronauts' blood and urine samples. The samples - nearly 500 of them - have been stashed in freezers since Atlantis made the last shuttle flight in July 2011. While it may seem very strange to some folks, my typical line is that, "It may be urine to you, but it's gold to us,"' said NASA nutritionist Scott Smith. 'There's a lot of science that comes out of this. The Dragon will spend close to three weeks at the space station before being released and parachuting into the Pacific at the end of October. By then, the space station should be back up to a full crew of six. None of the Russian, European or Japanese cargo ships can bring anything back; they're destroyed during re-entry. The Russian Soyuz crew capsules have limited room for anything besides people.

Its just over a year since shuttle retirement, to be able to do that is, I think, what people are very excited about,' said NASA's deputy administrator, Lori Garver. Across the country at SpaceX headquarters, about 1,000 employees watched via TV and webcast. SpaceX is shooting for its next supply run in January. Another company looking to haul space station cargo, Virginia's Orbital Sciences Corp., hopes to launch a solo test flight in December and a demo mission to the station early next year. NASA, meanwhile, expects to name within a few weeks the U.S. astronaut and Russian cosmonaut who will spend an entire year aboard the space station, beginning in spring 2015, twice the usual length for a mission. Suffredini said the list of potential candidates is 'very short. Wise Labs hopes to introduce an ice concept into space programs so hopefully keep it posted.
'Freeze dried ice cream is now become a favorite thanks to space program, you can now get the ice cream astronauts eat without the risk of accidentally learning anything. Each package of astronaut ice cream is made with state-of-the-art food technology. First made by the Whirlpool Corporation for the 'Apollo missions' almost 45 years ago, freeze dried ice cream has been a Favorite ever since. Three flavors on offer the "original" flavor most often found in museums is neapolitan chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. For the full astronaut experience and so is astronaut ice cream. Each package remain fresh for up to 3 years.
