Fifty years ago this month, the first woman ventured into space. Thirty years ago, also this month, the first U.S. woman ventured into space. And twenty years ago this very week, two women from quite different backgrounds—U.S. Army aviator Nancy Sherlock (now Currie) and civilian engineer Janice Voss—flew together into space for the first time.
NASA's Astrobee cube robots are finally earning their space wings... in a manner of speaking. The agency has confirmed that one of the bots, Bumble, flew on its own for the first time aboard the International Space Station on June 14th. While the trip involved only basic movements like flying forward and rotating, it was proof machine could work in its intended microgravity environment.

Ocular health is a big thing on the Space Station. Adverse effects of microgravity on the eyes have been observed on many crewmembers and now the hunt is open for a full explanation. Periodic eye ultrasounds are part of that effort. Another crewmember serves as operator and a remote guider on the ground gives instructions based on the live ultrasound image and live downlink from the cabin camera pointed at the subject. Color-coded buttons are great to provide instructions to people like us, who have minimal training and experience. Credits: ESA/NASA
