The sun shines through a truss-based radiator panel and a primary solar array
panel on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station (ISS) in this photograph
taken by an Expedition 38 crew member on Jan. 2, 2014.
The crew on the ISS is awaiting the first commercial resupply mission to the
ISS by Orbital Sciences, Orbital-1. Orbital Sciences will proceed with a 1:07
p.m. EST launch attempt of the Orbital-1 cargo resupply mission to the ISS
today, Thursday, Jan. 9.
Meanwhile, as more than 30 heads of space agencies from around the world
gather in Washington Jan. 9-10 for an unprecedented summit on the future of
space exploration, the Obama Administration has approved an extension of the ISS
until at least 2024.
