  • Advanced Health Tech Research Continues to Protect Astronaut Health

    NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Jack Hathaway carries the Advanced Space Experiment Processer-4 (ADSEP-4) and relocates it for installation inside the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory module. ADSEP-4 houses research samples for processing in microgravity, can be launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon or Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL spacecraft for powered science, and installed in EXPRESS racks aboard the orbital outpost for experimentation.

    Advanced health research, including ultrasound scans, blood tests, and exercise studies, using the latest technology in microgravity was on Thursday’s schedule for the Expedition 75 crew. The orbital residents also continued their ongoing cargo operations and maintenance tasks aboard the International Space Station.

  • Crew Studies Advanced Health Tech and Gears Up for Next Crew Swap

    NASA astronaut and Expedition 75 flight engineer Anil Menon smiles for a portrait while conducting spacesuit maintenance inside the International Space Station's Quest airlock. Menon cleaned the spacesuit’s water-cooling loops that keep a spacewalker comfortable while working in the extreme environment of space.

    Ultrasound scans using augmented reality and artificial intelligence topped the health research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Expedition 75 crew also collected blood and saliva samples to study how the immune system adapts to weightlessness. The orbital residents are now preparing for a crew swap as NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission announces a launch date.

Over the next several days, teams will complete a series of prelaunch activities and intensive reviews to confirm the crew, the space station, and SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, and Falcon 9 rocket […]

  • Station Nears Upcoming Crew Swap During Biomedicine, Cargo Duties

    This long-duration image shows star trails above Earth, an aurora arcing across the atmosphere, and the city lights of Central Asia stretching below the International Space Station as it orbited 262 miles above Earth.

    Four Expedition 75 crewmates are preparing for their return to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon next month as their replacement crew gets ready for launch. Meanwhile, aboard the International Space Station the orbital residents continued studying biomedicine, activating Earth imagery hardware, and unpacking a cargo craft.
