An array of space biology and combustion investigations topped the microgravity research program aboard the International Space Station on Monday. Life support work and cargo transfers also kept the Expedition 66 crew busy at the beginning of the week. Living in space has been shown to impact an astronaut’s vision even after returning to Earth. …
The Expedition 66 crew is continuing its preparations for a pair of spacewalks at the International Space Station scheduled for later this month. The seven orbital residents also pursued ongoing life science while maintaining operations at the orbital lab. Three NASA astronauts and an ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut participated in a fit check for …
Two NASA astronauts are assembling gear today they will install on the International Space Station during an upcoming spacewalk. The rest of the Expedition 66 crew focused on life science, space physics gear, and orbital maintenance. NASA Flight Engineers Raja Chari and Kayla Barron began assembling modification kits today to ready the station’s truss structure …
The seven-member Expedition 66 crew juggled a variety of science experiments on Wednesday including space physics and human research. Four International Space Station astronauts also reviewed procedures for a pair of spacewalks set to begin in less than two weeks. A new experiment on the space station is using artificial intelligence to help process complex …
A host of life science experiments is underway today as the Expedition 66 crew explores how living in space affects the human body. The International Space Station is also gearing up this month for a pair of spacewalks to upgrade its power systems. Skin, hearing, and mold were the main focus of today’s biology research …
