THE Shipping 72 The crew with its four new members returns to scientific operations following a period in charge of crew exchange activities. Human research was the main objective of Thursday as the International space station Residents have studied how life in space affects bones, muscles and brain blood flow.
Astronauts live in space for months both and scientists are continuously studying how their body adapts to weightlessness. The results are particularly important because NASA and its international partners provide long-term crew missions on the Moon, Mars, and beyond which depend less on the earth.
NASA flight engineer Nichole Ayers treated his blood samples for analysis to understand and treat Loss of bone caused by space as well as bone conditions on earth such as osteoporosis. NASA veteran flight engineer Petit worked on Advanced resistive exercise device for an investigation exploring how Exercise during space flights has an impact on muscles and bones.
A new experience on the orbital outpost, Drain the brain 2.0Study how blood circulates from the brain of a crew member to the heart in microgravity. JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) flight engineer Takuya Exploration Agency, attached sensors and electrodes to the neck and chest for human research study. Experience measures blood volume changes in the neck to assess the risk of cardiovascular conditions during space flight. The results can improve health screening in the space for astronauts and benefit patients with heart problems on earth.
NASA flight engineer Anne McClain which is on its second space station mission joined Pettit during the first part of the day by configuring the Spatial spatial team For moored operations. At the end of her work quarter on Thursday, she joined Ayers, Onishi and Roscosmos Cosmonaut Kirill Peskov and examined the location of the emergency equipment and the procedures for use. Pettit and the commander of the Alexey Ovchinin station helped the new teammates who are still on their first week on the orbit laboratory.
Ovchinine also participated in research in space biology Thursday with its colleague Roscosmos Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner. The duo, which has been on board the station with Pettit since September 11, 2024collected blood pressure measures for a survey exploring blood circulation in microgravity. Peskov inspected the video recording equipment before continuing its familiarization with life in orbit.
