Scientific interview support physics research equipment and window inspections launched the start of the week for the seven members Shipping 73 the living crew working on board the International space station. Meanwhile, NASA, Axiom and SpaceX space Launching opportunities examination At the beginning of Thursday, June 19, for the fourth mission of private astronaut at the international space station, Axiom Mission 4.
A Fluid physics study On the orbital outpost, tests computer models which can predict the behavior of protein fluids with high concentration in microgravity. NASA flight engineer Nichole Ayers Exchanged syringes containing protein samples and installed test cells inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox. The hydrodynamic survey explores the use of surface tension to contain liquids and study proteins without contacting solid walls. The results can benefit from pharmaceutical manufacturing and 3D printing techniques on and down.
NASA flight engineer Jonny Kim started his quarter of work by opening the Material science laboratory (MSL) and withdraw a sample cartridge from the physical search rack. The MSL located, in the Destiny laboratory moduleUse two different ovens operating at a time to discover new applications for existing materials, such as metals, alloys, polymers and new or improved materials. Kim then installed tags throughout the station testing their use for a Radiofrequency identification system This can improve stock management in space.
NASA flight engineer Anne McClain started her day with a cognition test to understand how she brain function and structure adapts to weightlessness. Then she jogging on a treadmill Like a heart rate monitor has measured its heart activity. At the end of his quarter of work, MCCLAIN inspected and photographed the state of Windows inside the destiny.
The Takuya Onishi station commander of Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) also inspected and cleaned the windows spending his day inside the Kibo laboratory module. He first opened the small versatile payload rack of Kibo where the Electrostatic levitation furnace The glass windows are located and cleaned on the cartridge samples of the search device. The ELF uses treatment techniques without container to observe the thermophysical properties of the materials of materials exposed to high temperatures in microgravity. Then he inspected and photographed the condition of Kibo’s internal and external windows during nocturnal orbital passes for lighter images.
The engineers of flight Roscosmos Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritskiy joined at the start of their change of attachment of acoustic sensors to the neck measuring the sound while they quickly expired for a respiratory study. The duo then separated and inventoried equipment and sought additional storage space inside the Zvezda service module. The flight engineer Kirill Peskov spent his day maintaining a variety of computer equipment and survival equipment before pointing his camera towards the earth and photographing the mountainous area of North America near the Pacific coast.
