Going along on the shuttle's trip home is astronaut Daniel Tani, who had been on the ISS since last October. Details regarding this matter are in the full article.

It should be remembered that meteorologists have cautioned NASA a few days ago to postpone the scheduled launch of the space shuttle Atlantis due to unfavorable weather conditions. NASA, however, still gave its thumbs up for the flight.

Unfortunately, it seems that the weathermen are correct as we've just received word that Atlantis is currently suffering damages in space. The full story after the jump!

A panel on the solar power wings of NASA's International Space Station got ripped last Tuesday, compounding the other problems that the station has been experiencing and forcing Mike Suffredini, program manager for NASA's International Space Station project, to set aside plans to launch Europe's long-delayed Columbus lab.

In order to deal with this new complication, NASA locked the solar power rings in place to prevent them from automatically tracking energy from the sun while in a damaged state. The reason for this, Mr. Suffredini explained, was that he didn't want to do any additional damage to the array. Mr. Suffredini also said that he wanted to sort out the situation further before attending to the Columbus' launch.

The issue with the space station's wings is the latest in a series of delays to plague the International Space Station since the launch of the shuttle Atlantis. In spite of these setbacks, NASA is still doing its best to finish the space station by 2010.

THQ and Nickelodeon just sent in new details regarding their upcoming Xbox Live Arcade video game title SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam! It was announced a couple of days ago that the two companies are planning to come up with more casual games for Xbox Live in the near future.

Accordingly, the plot of SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam! revolves around SpongeBob's quest to retrieve the underpants of Lord of the Sea Neptune that have been spread across the sea bottom by a powerful storm current.

We don't know what the Halo 3 hardcore gamers will think about this but this title surely fits their little brother's or sister's taste. Anyway, Underpants Slam! will feature some of the locations familiar to the franchise such as the Krusty Krab and the Flying Dutchman's ship.

Since this game involves Lord Neptune, SpongeBob will also be visiting the depths of the new Treasure Room of Atlantis. SpongeBob, furthermore, will also be getting special powers throughout the game like the ability to move at super speed, invincibility, and the ability to steal pants from other players.

Game modes include single-player quest and time trial, as well as multiplayer slam and tag.

 

Big news from the final frontier: NASA's space shuttle Atlantis has recently docked with the international space station orbiting some 200 miles away from Earth's surface. But their efforts to carry out their primary mission - to add a 35,000 pound segment to the ISS - were held back after the station's gyroscopes became overloaded.

The hour's delay had Atlantis aiding the station's orientation as the gyroscopes used to maintain the station's position had their problems resolved. But soon thereafter, James Reilly and Danny Olivas made their venture out into space to add the segment that will increase the station's power capabilities.

The six-and-a-half hour spacewalk ended in their removal of locks and restraints on the segment, giving way to attaching the segment to the station's backbone. On Wednesday, Reilly and Olivas will take another spacewalk to activate the solar arrays on the segment, providing the station with 14 kilowatts of power generation.
