Two crews aboard the International Space Station are continuing mission handover responsibilities before four Expedition 70 crewmates return to Earth next week. In the meantime, a host of advanced space research is underway to improve life on Earth and in space. The next crew to leave the orbital outpost is due to undock inside the …
Payloads: Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) Kinematics (ARED-K): An Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP) session was performed on ARED in support of the ARED-K investigation. Exploration-class missions including Artemis, Gateway, and beyond require an exercise device that is lightweight and has a small footprint. These devices provide a variety of full body resistance exercise options, and …
Payloads: Complement of Integrated Protocols for Human Exploration Research on Varying Mission Durations (CIPHER): This week’s CIPHER testing continued with the performance of Optical Coherence Tomography 2 (OCT2), Pneumotonometry (PTM), and blood pressure measurements. CIPHER consists of 14 studies designed to improve our understanding of physiological and psychological changes in humans on missions that range …
A pair of commercial crews is preparing to switch places onboard the International Space Station next week. The orbital residents are also continuing more space health studies and cargo activities. Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Alexander Grebenkin are in the first week of a six-month space research mission. They spent a …
Payloads: Bacterial Adhesion and Corrosion (BAC): The BAC BioCell Habitat was removed from its Space Automated Laboratory Incubator (SALI) location and packed for return on the Crew-7 Dragon. Polymicrobial Biofilm Growth and Control during Spaceflight (Bacterial Adhesion and Corrosion) explores the formation under microgravity conditions of multi-species biofilms, which may behave differently from single-species biofilms. …
