As expected, after five hours the ship would enter the earth’s atmosphere. The ship is scheduled to splash down in the Pacific ocean around 8:05 GMT, SpaceX said on Twitter. Dragon docked to the ISS on 8 December. Docking was succeeded at the second attempt — the first time was unsuccessful due to communication failure. Dragon delivered to the station more than 2.5 tons of supplies, including food and materials for scientific experiments. It was the 16th flight of the cargo ship to the ISS.

Called anti-aging product In the white mushrooms contain substances that can slow the aging process in the body. To such conclusion scientists from the University of Pennsylvania (USA), writes Medical News Today. Their study showed that white mushrooms are a source of antioxidant amino acids ergothioneine, which is not produced in the body on their own. Do people get this stuff only from the diet, while in the white mushrooms ergothioneine at least 10 times more than in any other containing products. In addition, mushrooms contain another important antioxidant glutathione. Antioxidant agents have the ability to control the level of reactive oxygen species, including free radicals in cells. Due to this, they prevent DNA damage, is required for cells molecules and cell membranes. The aging process in the body is due to the accumulation of damage in cells due to oxidation. Thus, the protective effect of antioxidants can slow the

Source: the reason for the failure “the Spectrum-R” it could be cosmic radiation MOSCOW, January 14. /TASS/ — According to the source, experts suggest that the efficiency of the device was affected by the dose of radiation accumulated in electronics for nearly eight years. The reason for the failure of the command transmitter of the radio telescope “Spektr-R” could be cosmic radiation that has accumulated in the electronics of the camera for nearly eight years of flight. This was reported on Monday TASS source in the space industry. “As the inoperability of the receiving / transmitting device “the Spectrum-R” experts suggest the influence of the radiation dose accumulated over the period of the flight in the electronic components of the satellite”, — said the Agency interlocutor. He explained that this is the third backup transmitter for receiving control commands from Earth, the first two — the primary and the second
