Payloads: ADSEP-PIL-02: Fluid Loops were replaced on Modules A, B and C. In-Space Production Application – Pharmaceutical In-space Laboratory – 02 (InSPA-PIL-02) (ADSEP-PIL-02) aims to study the effect of microgravity on the production of various types of crystals. Understanding the effect of microgravity on these crystals may have important applications for research and development of …
Payloads: Complement of Integrated Protocols for Human Exploration Research on Varying Mission Durations (CIPHER): The CIPHER investigation aims to improve our understanding of physiological and psychological changes in humans on missions that range from weeks to one year in duration. Conducting the same research over missions of different durations allows scientists to extrapolate the data …
Payloads: Complement of Integrated Protocols for Human Exploration Research on Varying Mission Durations (CIPHER): The crew performed the doff and closeout of the Blood Pressure 13-hour data collection sequence and stowed the hardware. The 48hour BioMonitor data collection was concluded and the hardware was doffed and stowed. Optical Tomography was also performed a subject. The …
Payloads: ADvanced Space Experiment Processor-2 (ADSEP-2): A fluid replacement was performed on Modules B and C. The ADSEP-2 is an automated multipurpose facility with three independent thermal zones that accommodate one cassette each and an internal computer that controls the functions of the cassettes. Cassettes house and process samples for a variety of biological and …
SpX-30 Docking: Following launch on Thursday, March 21st, the SpX-30 Cargo Dragon docked at 6:32 AM CDT, March 23rd. SpX-30 was docked to the Node 2 Zenith port and has successfully delivered a plethora of science investigations, crew supplies, and hardware to the ISS crew. 71S Docking: The 71S vehicle successfully docked to the NM …
Payloads: Complement of Integrated Protocols for Human Exploration Research on Varying Mission Durations (CIPHER): A Vestibular Exam using Falcon Goggles was performed. The CIPHER investigation aims to improve our understanding of physiological and psychological changes in humans on missions that range from weeks to one year in duration. Conducting the same research over missions of …
Soyuz 71S Launch: 71S launch was planned for today at 8:21 AM CDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome but was scrubbed on the pad. NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya are safe, along with the 71S Soyuz spacecraft. SpX-30 Cargo Dragon Launch: The SpX-30 Dragon spacecraft successfully launched aboard …
Payloads: Advanced Resistive Exercise Device Kinematics (ARED-K): Isometric Mid-Thigh Pulls (IMTP) were performed on ARED. The ARED-K investigation assesses the current exercise programs to allow for the improvement of exercise prescriptions by conducting a biomechanical analysis of exercise on the ARED onboard the ISS. Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR): Troubleshooting steps were performed on the lower …
Payloads: Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings (AC-2): The crew performed the routine periodic touching of two experiment placards deployed in various locations throughout the ISS. They also took photos of the placards. AC-2 tests an antimicrobial coating on several different materials that represent high-touch surfaces. Some microbes change characteristics in microgravity, which could create new …
Payloads: BioFabrication Facility (BFF): The crew reviewed the procedure, gained access to the BFF experiment chamber, and attempted to unclog two smart pump systems. Unfortunately, the unclog attempt was not successful. New Bioink syringes will arrive on SpX-30 which will allow the operations to continue. Using 3D biological printers to produce usable human organs has …
