Exploring astronaut health and photographing the Moon and Earth topped the research schedule for the Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents also kept up life support maintenance following the departure of cargo spacecraft the day before.
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station at 11:18 a.m. EDT Monday, backing away for a deorbit maneuver and a planned destructive re-entry later today into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
Spacesuit cleaning, exercise research, and cargo operations wrapped up the week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 75 crew members also practiced an emergency drill to ensure familiarity with medical operations in weightlessness.
The Expedition 75 crew spent Thursday cleaning up after a spacewalk, servicing advanced Earth imagery, and studying how to protect the human body in microgravity. The International Space Station is also gearing up for a cargo mission swap next week to replenish the seven orbital residents.
The Expedition 75 crew members are coming off a busy period that saw four spacewalks take place in one month outside of the International Space Station. The orbital septet cleaned spacesuits, conducted cargo operations, and relaxed throughout Wednesday.
