With Padalka as the onboard imager and ground remote guidance, ultrasound imaging was taken of arterial and venous measures of the head and neck, cardiac, ophthalmic and portal vein, and tissue thickness of lower and upper body. …
Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) Relocation: This morning the crew completed the Node 3 Forward vestibule outfitting. The PMM hatch was opened and the crew ingressed the PMM in its new location. While attempting to install the supply and return Intermodule Ventilation (IMV) jumpers, it was determined that the Node 3 and PMM interfaces are offset, …
Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) Relocation: In support of today’s PMM relocation, the crew has powered up the Centerline Berthing Camera System (CBCS) on the Node 3 Forward hatch and performed the Node 1 Nadir Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM) bolt loosening and removal. Robotic Flight Controllers then unberthed PMM from Node 1 nadir at 05:00 am …
Fine Motor Skills (FMS): Kelly and Kornienko performed their Flight Day 60 FMS sessions this morning. In the Fine Motor Skills experiment, crew members perform a series of interactive tasks on a touchscreen tablet. Fine motor skills are crucial for successfully interacting with touch-based technologies, repairing sensitive equipment, and a variety of other tasks. In …
Fluid Shifts Before, During and After Prolonged Space Flight and Their Association with Intracranial Pressure and Visual Impairment (Fluid Shifts): Kelly and Padalka performed a system test of the Ultrasound in the Service Module. The crew configured the ultrasound, laptop, and video, and with assistance from the ground remote guider, then performed an ultrasound scan. …
Ocular Health (OH): Virts and Cristoforetti completed their Return (R)-30 OH today. They each performed ultrasounds of their eye with the assistance of the other crewmember acting as a Crew Medical Officer (CMO). Virts, again with Cristoforetti as his CMO, performed an ultrasound echocardiogram. The Ocular Health protocol calls for a systematic gathering of physiological …
SpaceX-6 Dragon Departure: Overnight, the crew disconnected both power jumpers, installed the Center Disk Cover, and closed Node 2 Nadir Hatch. They then successfully depressurized and pressure checked the Node 2/Dragon vestibule. Dragon was unberthed from the Node 2 Nadir docking port and subsequently released by the crew utilizing the Space Station Remote Manipulator System …
Double Cold Bag (DCB) Packing: Virts and Kelly packed the +4 degrees Celsius (°C) DCB with conditioned Ice Bricks and samples from Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI)-2 and -32°C DCBs with Ice Bricks and frozen samples from MELFI-3. The +4°C DCB will be returning with Cell Shape and Expression, CASIS PCG-3, …
USOS Crew Reduced Duty Day: Today was a reduced duty day for the USOS Crew as a result of sleep shifting in preparation for SpaceX-6 departure on Thursday, 21 May 2015. Fluid Shifts Before, During and After Prolonged Space Flight and Their Association with Intracranial Pressure and Visual Impairment (Fluid Shifts): Kornienko begun his Flight …
Fluid Shifts Before, During and After Prolonged Space Flight and Their Association with Intracranial Pressure and Visual Impairment (Fluid Shifts): Kelly begun his Flight Day (FD) 45 Fluid Shifts Dilution Measurements today. Upon wakeup he collected baseline saliva, blood and urine and inserted them into Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) prior …
