On Wednesday, the crew aboard the International Space Station continued researching ways to protect the human body from the effects of spaceflight and packed a pair of spaceships for return to Earth. One common symptom of living in space is called “puffy face” and is the result of body fluids moving toward a crew member’s …
Human research and U.S. spacecraft operations were the primary activities aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The crew is exploring how the human body adapts to microgravity while also preparing Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft for its departure at the end of the week. Expedition 71 Flight Engineer Matthew Dominick kicked off his day setting up …
A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be …
Space botany and combustion physics wrapped up the research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Friday. The orbital residents also finalized life support maintenance work and conducted eye exams at the end of the week. NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps continued her weeklong plant research activities inside Kibo’s Advanced Plant Habitat. She began checking carbon …
It has been a busy week aboard the International Space Station and Thursday was no exception with ongoing space research, systems maintenance, robotics activities, and an orbital reboost for an upcoming crew mission. The nine lab crewmates have been working together and coordinating closely with mission controllers from around the world ensuring safe and successful …
Dragon spacecraft configurations topped Wednesday’s task list aboard the International Space Station as the orbital residents prepare for crew swap activities in September and October. Human research duties and lab maintenance tasks rounded out the day for the nine crewmates living and working on the orbital outpost. Six astronauts worked throughout the day configuring the …
