Friday was mainly a light day for the seven members Shipping 73 the crew on board the International space station. However, orbital residents reserved time at the end of the week for research, an emergency exercise and a conference with mission directors on the ground.
NASA flight engineers Anne McClain,, Nichole AyersAnd Jonny Kim joined the commander of the Takuya Onishi station of Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and wrapped their quarter of work with a pair of space-ground conferences. The first conference of the quartet was with the head of the NASA astronauts office, followed by a second conference with the director of flights of their expedition. The short conferences bihebdomadaries take place so that astronauts and mission managers can discuss a range of subjects, including future missions and crew activities.
Earlier in the day, Ayers spent a few moments exchange syringes containing protein samples and the installation of test cells inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox. She maintained a Fluid physics study Exploration of the surface tension to contain liquids and observe the proteins without contact the solid walls. The results can benefit from pharmaceutical manufacturing and 3D printing techniques on and down.
Kim finished a 48 -hour session with the sensor full of sensor Bio-minor Vest and band that continuously measured his health data while he worked, exercised and slept. Doctors test health monitoring equipment for its comfort and examine data related to connections that include heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature. He also joined the Cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky to practice an emergency exercise on the station.
The flight engineer Kirill Peskov worked half a workplace on Friday, serving earth observation equipment which captures the imaging of monuments on the ground in a variety of wavelengths. Ryzhikov spent the second half of his day on the maintenance of electronics in the station’s Roscosmos segment.
