The Expedition 73 crew kicked off the work week studying space biology to learn how to counteract the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The International Space Station residents are also packing the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft for its departure this week and practicing using the European robotic arm.
This Friday the Expedition 73 crew aboard the International Space Station continued work with Dragon cargo, advanced space experiments, and maintenance of orbital systems.
Thursday operations aboard the International Space Station saw the Expedition 73 crew focused on a range of mission-critical tasks, from training and cargo handling to microgravity research, educational outreach on the HAM Radio, and maintenance of orbital systems.
The International Space Station's Expedition 73 crew was busy this Wednesday with completing health scans, transferring more dragon cargo stowage, and carrying out additional advanced science experiments.
After reviewing the International Space Station flight schedule, NASA and its partners are shifting launch opportunities for several upcoming missions. The schedule adjustments provide more time to finalize mission plans, spacecraft readiness, and logistics.
Biotechnology research exploring DNA-inspired nanomaterials and researching how fire reacts in microgravity to expand on station fire safety topped the science schedule for the Expedition 73 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The crew also scheduled in time for more station maintenance.
This week begins with a focus on cargo stowage inside SpaceX’s Dragon cargo spacecraft and health research aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 73 crew members also scheduled in time for maintenance and agricultural work.
Friday’s schedule aboard the International Space Station included maintenance and tech demonstration set up for the Expedition 73 crew.
Biotechnology work and health research was the main focus on Thursday aboard the International Space Station. Five Expedition 73 crew members also scheduled some time for training and additional experiment cleanup duties.
A full day of experiment preparations and health research topped Wednesday’s Expedition 73 schedule aboard the International Space Station. The crew expanded on agricultural and pharmaceutical work that began earlier in the week and continued to study how spaceflight affects the human body.
