Physics, biomedicine, and computer networking were the dominant projects for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The orbital residents also continued unpacking cargo from a pair of resupply ships while keeping up life support maintenance.
The hatches are open between the International Space Station and the new Progress 95 cargo spacecraft following the delivery of about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies on Monday. Meanwhile, physics equipment maintenance topped the scientific schedule as the lab residents installed new quantum research gear and stowed cryogenic fluid hardware.
The uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 95 spacecraft has docked to the aft port of the International Space Station’s Zvezda module at 8 p.m. EDT Monday.
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 95 spacecraft is continuing toward its planned 8 p.m. autonomous docking to the aft port of the station’s Zvezda module. It launched at 6:21 p.m. EDT on April 25 (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time on April 26) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
A Progress 95 cargo craft is orbiting Earth on its way to resupply the Expedition 74 with about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies. Two cosmonauts will be on duty monitoring the Progress 95 when it automatically docks to the International Space Station rear port on the Zvezda service module at 8 p.m. EDT on Monday.
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 95 spacecraft is safely in orbit and headed to the International Space Station following its launch at 6:21 p.m. EDT (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time Sunday, April 26) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The unpiloted Progress 95 spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 6:21 p.m. EDT (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time Sunday, April 26) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Roscosmos spacecraft will carry about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station.
The Progress 95 cargo spacecraft from Roscosmos stands atop its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan counting down to a liftoff at 6:21p.m. EDT on Saturday to resupply the Expedition 74 crew.
Biotechnology research was back on the schedule aboard the International Space Station on Thursday as the Expedition 74 crew conducted a pair of heart studies, explored cancer therapies, and demonstrated a self‑sustaining life‑support system.
More biotechnology research was underway aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday taking advantage of the microgravity environment to boost knowledge about the properties of DNA and DNA-like nanomaterials. The Expedition 74 crew also completed the installation of an advanced exercise device and tested a set of new virtual reality goggles while continuing to unpack a U.S. cargo spacecraft.
