ISS Daily Summary Report – 3/05/2018

Posted Mar 5, 2018 at 4:00 pm

Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME) Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion (E-Field) Flames:

Спойлер

The crew replaced the compensator module in the CIR Hi Bit-depth Multi-Spectral (HiBMS) Imaging package today. This is in preparation for the upcoming ACME E-Field Flames investigation. The ACME investigation is a set of five independent studies of gaseous flames to be conducted in the CIR. ACME's primary goal is to improve fuel efficiency and reduced pollutant production in practical combustion on Earth. For E-Field Flames an electric field with voltages as high as 10,000 volts is established between the burner and a mesh electrode. The motion of the charged ions, which are naturally produced within the flame, are strongly affected by a high-voltage electric field. The resulting ion-driven wind can dramatically influence the stability and sooting behavior of the flame. Conducting the tests in microgravity allows for great simplifications in the analysis, enabling new understanding and the development of less polluting and more efficient combustion technology for use on Earth.

Meteor:

Спойлер

This morning the crew installed the Meteor Small Camera Bracket and Meteor camera in the US Laboratory Window Observational Research Facility (WORF) and then activated the camera. They then photographed the camera, lens settings and the position of the camera relative to the Lab window. The Meteor payload uses a visible spectroscopy instrument to observe meteors in Earth orbit and then analyze the images to provide information on the physical and chemical properties of meteoroid dust. The study of the meteoroid dust on-orbit provides information about the parent comets and asteroids.

Posted Mar 6, 2018 at 1:34 pm


A waxing gibbous moon was pictured above the Earth's limb as the International Space Station orbited over the southern Indian Ocean just southwest of the African continent.

The orbiting Expedition 55 crew members participated in a variety of biology research and life support maintenance today. Their counterparts on the ground took part in traditional ceremonies today ahead of their liftoff to the International Space Station in two weeks.

Спойлер

NASA astronaut Scott Tingle started his day photographing and watering plants being grown for the Veggie-3 botany study. He later charged a pair of U.S. spacesuit batteries before inspecting emergency equipment including portable fire extinguishers and breathing apparatus.

Norishige Kanai, from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, set up hardware to measure the levels and analyze the exhaled air in the station's environment. Afterward, he positioned an infrared sensor arm to measure Dwarf Wheat leaf temperatures growing inside the Kibo laboratory's Plant Habitat.

Commander Anton Shkaplerov spent Tuesday morning working on Russian environmental and life support systems. The veteran cosmonaut also activated video gear and checked the tension of an exercise treadmill shock absorber.

In the midst of all the orbital maintenance work, Shkaplerov still had time for a pair of science experiments. The commander explored the internal and external radiation the space station encounters along its flight path. He also researched how international crews interact with each other during different phases of a long term space mission.

Back in Kazakhstan, three new Expedition 55-56 crew members are counting down to their March 21 liftoff and two-day trip to the space station. Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev and NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel raised the flags of their respective countries today at their Cosmonaut Hotel crew quarters in Baikonur near their launch site. The trio is in final preparations training for their launch aboard the Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft.

На МКС завезли «русское меню» 
Дмитрий Струговец Мария Недюк
Российские космонавты впервые смогут попробовать на орбите фруктовый кисель, зеленые щи и грибы по-старорусски. Эти блюда введены в их рацион питания и с конца 2017 года доставляются на Международную космическую станцию (МКС). Продукты традиционной русской кухни, как считают специалисты, обновят и разнообразят рацион питания, будут способствовать лучшей работе желудочно-кишечного тракта. Сами космонавты полагают, что в первую очередь вкусная еда приносит положительные эмоции.

Спойлер

Меню российских экипажей на МКС с осени прошлого года обновлено, многие из появившихся в нем блюд относятся к традиционной русской кухне. В частности, как рассказали «Известиям» в НИИ пищеконцентратной промышленности и специальной пищевой технологии, впервые в условиях космоса можно будет попробовать кисели. Рацион космонавтов пополнили клюквенный, яблочно-брусничный и яблочно-вишневый напитки густой консистенции.
Разнообразие в ассортимент напитков должен внести и молотый кофе. Раньше он присутствовал на станции только в гранулах. Теперь же космонавты смогут полюбоваться через иллюминатор рассветом за «чашечкой» (а точнее — пакетом из полимерной пленки) натурального кофе с молоком и сахаром. Для его приготовления в пакет необходимо будет лишь залить кипяток.
Помимо этого, в меню космонавтов появились новые первые, вторые блюда и десерты: щи зеленые, суп из шампиньонов, грибы по-старорусски, фруктовые палочки из яблок, абрикосов, слив и вишен. До конца 2018 года рацион должна пополнить пшенная каша с тыквой.
— Грибы в питании космонавтов используются с 2003 года, но теперь они будут присутствовать также в виде супа и «по-старорусски», — рассказала «Известиям» начальник отдела космического питания НИИ пищеконцентратной промышленности Людмила Павлова. — Используются только шампиньоны, выращиваемые в защищенном грунте, в условиях, свободных от тяжелых металлов и радионуклидов. Шампиньоны являются источником многих питательных веществ, необходимых для поддержания здоровья космонавтов.
По словам ученых, благодаря значительному содержанию клетчатки грибные блюда способствуют лучшей работе желудочно-кишечного тракта. Большое количество экстрактивных веществ придает такой пище аромат и приятный вкус, это повышает аппетит и снижает приедаемость рациона космонавтов.
Как рассказал «Известиям» заведующий отделом питания Института медико-биологических проблем РАН Александр Агуреев, ранее грибные блюда в питание космонавтов не включались. Это объяснялось их сезонностью и отсутствием промышленного производства.
– Сырье, которое используется в космическом питании, закупается не на рынке, не в магазине, а непосредственно у производителя. Он должен быть представлен в России и не иметь замечаний к качеству продукции в течение 10 лет, – пояснил Александр Агуреев. — Такие правила. Сейчас шампиньоны выращиваются, а раньше грибы только на рынке покупали, вот их и не использовали для космического питания.
Российский космонавт Сергей Рязанский, вернувшийся в сентябре после второго орбитального полета, рассказал, что непривередлив в еде, однако поддержал обновление ассортимента продуктов.
— Мне кажется, что нововведения в питании космонавтов — это хорошо, — рассказал «Известиям» Сергей Рязанский. — На борту МКС всегда хочется чего-нибудь вкусненького, и новые блюда можно считать фактором психологической поддержки экипажа. Естественно, хорошо, когда в еде есть разнообразие. Во время моего полета замечаний к питанию у меня не было, но в любом случае всегда скучаешь по домашней еде.

[свернуть]

Блюда российской кухни пользуются популярностью не только у российских космонавтов, но и у иностранных астронавтов. Например, американец Эндрю Фейстел, который отправится на МКС 21 марта на космическом корабле «Союз МС-08», заказал себе три контейнера с российскими продуктами. В полугодовом полете он сможет побаловать себя судаком по-польски, форелью, лососем в кисло-сладком соусе, курицей с мускатным орехом, мясом в желе, цыплятами с овощами, судаком в сметанном соусе. Помимо этого, астронавт заказал кашу овсяную с различными наполнителями (персиком, малиной, черникой, изюмом и орехами) и йогурты сублимационной сушки с земляникой и злаками.

Airway Monitoring:

Спойлер

In support of the European Space Agency (ESA) Airway Monitoring investigation, today the crew completed calibration of the hardware in the US Laboratory and then completed two different measurement protocols; the low Nitric Oxide (NO) protocol which determines how much NO is exhaled with respiration, and the high NO protocol, which determines how much NO is diffused into the blood. The ISS provides a unique environment, allowing these measurements to be taken in weightless, hypobaric and hypoxic conditions. With dust particles present in the ISS atmosphere, this investigation studies indicators of airway inflammation in crewmembers, using ultra-sensitive gas analyzers to analyze NO in exhaled air. This will help to identify potential health impacts and support maintenance of crewmember health during future human spaceflight missions, where crewmembers will have to be more self-sufficient in identifying and avoiding conditions that may result in airway inflammation.

КОРРЕКЦИЯ ОРБИТЫ МКС
14 марта 2018

Программа МКС

В соответствии с программой полёта Международной космической станции 14 марта 2018 года запланирована коррекция орбиты МКС. Для выполнения манёвра в 00:25 мск на 108 секунд будут включены двигатели транспортного грузового корабля «Прогресс МС-08», пристыкованного к Международной космической станции. Цель проведения коррекции - формирование баллистических условий для операций программы МКС, запланированных в июне: посадки транспортного пилотируемого корабля «Союз МС-07», запланированной на 3 июня 2018 года, а также выведения на орбиту транспортного пилотируемого корабля «Союз МС-09», запланированного на 6 июня 2018 года.
