Thursday, the members of the 73 shipping team are cleaned after a space walk to improve the power systems of the international space station. Laboratory residents also continued research and maintenance activities aboard the orbital outpost.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain And Nichole Ayers Reorgan the Aerial quest and maintain a pair of spatial combinations according to their Five -hour and 44 -minute space farm THURSDAY. The duo started on Friday storing space equipment inside the quest where they adapted to their space walk the day before. McClain and Ayers then checked their spatial combination water tanks and withdrawn water samples from the reservoirs for chemical analysis. They were also joined by NASA flight engineer Jonny Kim And the commander of the JAXA station (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) Takuya Onishi for a conference with engineers in the field to review their space achievements.
During their space march, MCCLAIN and AYERS installed a modification kit on the structure of the Ports farm of the space station preparing it for the arrival of a new solar deployment network. Subsequently, the Spacewalkers moved a communication antenna, installed a rider cable and removed the bolts from a micro -meteroid cover ending their excursion in the space of space.
Kim also spent some time on Friday photographed tomato plants that grow for a Agricultural study of space To find out if cultures can be cultivated without photosynthesis. Onishi used a Specialized 3D microscope Obtaining images of the behavior of bacteria samples in a liquid to learn how to monitor water quality, detect infectious microorganisms and protect crews and spaceships.
The three cosmonauts representing the Roscosmos part of the crew spent time in their orbit laboratory segment on their contingent of science and maintenance functions.
The flight engineer resident three times, Sergey Ryzhikov, took advantage of the possibility of photographing the effects of a landslide in Brazil while the station was orbiter above the South American nation. The flight engineer Alexey Zubritsky downloaded data measuring the vibrations that the space station experiences when arrivals and departures of spacecraft, as well as other orbital operations, which can help engineers design stronger spatial structures. The flight engineer Kirill Peskov checked the radiation detectors that McClain and Ayers wore during their space walking mode and cleaned smoke detectors in the Nauka scientific module.
