The seven orbital residents are also staying busy with their ongoing research into human biology, space physics, and robotics. The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft attached to the Falcon 9 rocket is …
Artificial intelligence, hearing tests, and a microscope setup topped the research agenda aboard the International Space Station on Friday. The seven Expedition 67 crew members also divided their day with ongoing spacewalk preparations, training video recording, and orbital plumbing duties. The astronauts have been exploring space manufacturing techniques to take advantage of the weightless environment …
The International Space Station continues hosting an array of advanced science experiments and spacewalk preparations. The seven Expedition 67 residents also ensured the ongoing operation of research gear and electronics equipment while auditing station office supplies. The lack of an up and down reference in microgravity may affect the human nervous system potentially impacting how …
The Expedition 67 crew continued exploring how humans and plants adapt in microgravity while testing robotic free-flyers on Wednesday. The orbital residents are also preparing for another spacewalk at the International Space Station to continue outfitting a new robotic arm. NASA Flight Engineers Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines partnered together during the morning studying how …
Space physics and human research dominated the science agenda aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The Expedition 67 crew also reconfigured a U.S. airlock and tested a new 3-D printer. The lack of gravity in space affects a wide variety of physics unlocking new phenomena that researchers study to improve life for humans on …
The seven Expedition 67 crew members are going into the weekend with a host of microgravity research and housekeeping activities. The four astronauts and three cosmonauts will also relax on Monday observing the Fourth of July U.S. holiday aboard the International Space Station. NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines participated in a robotics test …
The Expedition 67 crew members tended to plants and explored artificial intelligence aboard the International Space Station today. The four astronauts and three cosmonauts also split their day configuring a U.S. airlock and investigating how microgravity affects the human body. NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines worked in the Columbus laboratory module on Thursday afternoon processing …
Wednesday’s schedule on the International Space Station encompassed practicing complicated medical procedures in microgravity to preparing to take out the trash 260 miles above the Earth. The Expedition 67 crew members also continued investigating a wide variety of space phenomena to improve life for humans on Earth and in space. Future astronauts will need to …
NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than Thursday, July 14, for launch of the CRS-25 commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station. The new target launch date supports ongoing Dragon spacecraft inspections as well as repair and replacement of any components that could have degraded by exposure to mono-methyl hydrazine (MMH) …
The Expedition 67 crew said farewell to a U.S. cargo craft on Tuesday morning and is planning for the arrival of another resupply ship in mid-July. The seven International Space Station residents also split their day with a host of scientific and operational activities. Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus space freighter completed its four-month cargo mission attached …
