Payloads: Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings-2 (Antimicrobial Coatings-2): The crew performed the routine periodic touching of the six experiment placards deployed in various locations throughout the ISS. Antimicrobial Coatings-2 tests an antimicrobial coating on several different materials that represent high-touch surfaces. Some microbes change characteristics in microgravity, which could create new risks to crew health …
Payloads: Cold Atom Lab (CAL): The Front Panel Cover was replaced and the Medium Temperature Loop (MTL) inlet/outlet jumpers were reinstalled on the CAL quad locker in Expedite the Processing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) Rack 7. The CAL produces clouds of atoms that are chilled to about one ten billionth of a degree …
Payloads: Artemis Hybrid Electronic Radiation Assessor (HERA) on Space Station (A-HoSS): The A-HoSS hardware was relocated from the LAB to the JEM and continues to collect radiation telemetry. A-HoSS demonstrates software to refine data analysis and operational products for future exploration missions. It modifies the HERA, built to operate as the primary radiation detection system …
Payloads: Cerebral Ageing: The remaining Cerebral Ageing hardware and Velcro Bars were removed from the LSG Work Volume and the LSG Right Caps were installed to put the LSG back into its standard configuration. The Impact of Spaceflight on Human Brain Ageing Using Cerebral Organoids (Cerebral Ageing) investigation studies the effect of spaceflight and the …
SpaceX-29 (SpX-29) Undock and Return: SpX-29 Cargo Dragon successfully undocked from the ISS on Thursday, December 21st, at 4:00 PM CST. Shortly after, Dragon completed a short return trajectory and splashed down safely off the coast of Tallahassee, FL at 11:32 AM CST. SpX-29 was successfully recovered, and returned cargo and payloads to the ground, …
Payloads: Advanced Resistive Exercise Device-Kinematics (ARED-K): The crew retrieved several Multi-Use Brackets (MUBs) needed for the ARED-K experiment session, currently planned for tomorrow. Resistive exercise is used as a countermeasure to musculoskeletal deconditioning in microgravity and currently ISS crews perform resistive exercise using ARED. However, a major unknown is the internal bone and muscle forces …
Payloads: Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings-2 (Antimicrobial Coatings-2): The crew performed the routine periodic touching of the six experiment placards deployed in various locations throughout the ISS. Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings tests an antimicrobial coating on several different materials that represent high-touch surfaces. Some microbes change characteristics in microgravity, which could create new risks …
Payloads: Cerebral Ageing: Media exchanges were performed on the experiment BioCells. The Impact of Spaceflight on Human Brain Ageing Using Cerebral Organoids (Cerebral Ageing) investigation studies the effect of spaceflight and the durability in space of cerebral organoids. Cerebral organoids are 3D human-derived structures that closely resemble a developing human brain at the molecular and …
Payloads: Advanced Resistive Exercise Device-Kinematics (ARED-K): The ARED-K components were powered on to allow continued verification and troubleshooting of data pathways needed to support experiment operations. Resistive exercise is used as a countermeasure to musculoskeletal deconditioning in microgravity and currently ISS crews perform resistive exercise using ARED. However, a major unknown is the internal bone …
Payloads: Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings-2 (Antimicrobial Coatings-2): The crew performed the routine periodic touching of the six experiment placards deployed in various locations throughout the ISS, and took photos. Antimicrobial Coatings-2 tests an antimicrobial coating on several different materials that represent high-touch surfaces. Some microbes change characteristics in microgravity, which could create new risks …
