NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin gave farewell remarks ahead of hatch closure of the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft on September 27. Following hatch closure, the spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station’s Prichal module, returning to Earth a few hours later for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. During his mission, Rubio broke the record for longest single spaceflight for a U.S. astronaut spending 371 consecutive days living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions as part of NASA’s Moon and Mars exploration approach, including lunar missions through NASA’s Artemis program. .

Though it plays an important role in marine ecosystems, Sargassum algae can be a problem when it grows too much. The large mats of floating brown algae can slow down boats, clog machinery, and harm wildlife when it washes up on beaches. Using NASA satellite data, Chuanmin Hu, a professor at the University of South Florida, developed the Sargassum Watch System (SaWS). This tool forecasts and monitors the location, movement direction, and speed of Sargassum blooms. Using real-time satellite imagery accessible online, people can monitor Sargassum and receive monthly reports with current and predicted bloom information. Plant managers, fishers, scientists, and decision makers around the world use imaging from SaWS to prepare for Sargassum events and protect local communities during emergencies.
