ISS Daily Summary Report – 7/22/2019

59 Soyuz Launch/Dock:

59S launched on Saturday, July 20, from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 11:28 AM CT carrying Aleksandr Skvortsov, Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan to the ISS. Docking to the SM aft port occurred at 5:50 PM CT with hatch opening at 8:04 PM CT. Following hatch opening, all 6 crewmembers performed the ISS Crew Safety Briefing during which the 58S crew familiarized the 59S crew with potential hazards and available safety measures. Plans were reviewed for emergency actions, roles and responsibilities in response to depressurization, fire and toxic release hazards.

The ISS Experience:

Over the weekend, the crew used the ISS Experience Z-Camera and recorded an hour of the 59S crew ingress. The ISS Experience creates a virtual reality film documenting daily life aboard the ISS. The 8 to 10 minute videos created from footage taken during the six-month investigation cover different aspects of crew life, execution of science aboard the station, and the international partnerships involved. The ISS Experience uses a Z-CAM V1 Pro Cinematic Virtual Reality (VR) 360-degree camera with nine 190° fisheye lenses.

[свернуть]

Actiwatch Spectrum:

Following arrival on the Station, the 59S crewmembers donned Actiwatches. The Actiwatch Spectrum is a waterproof, nonintrusive, sleep-wake monitor worn on the wrist of a crewmember. The device contains an accelerometer for measuring motion and color sensitive photodiodes (a photodetector capable of converting light into voltage) for monitoring ambient lighting. Together, these capabilities enable the Actiwatch Spectrum to be used to analyze circadian rhythms, sleep-wake patterns, and activity.

Dose Distribution Inside the ISS – 3D (DOSIS 3D):

The crew deployed the eleven DOSIS-3D dosimeters in the Columbus module. This experiment uses active and passive detectors to determine the radiation doses inside the ISS and provides documentation of the actual nature and distribution of the radiation fields. A concise three dimensional dose distribution map of all the segments of the ISS will be developed based on this data and data from JAXA and NASA monitoring devices.

[свернуть]

Combustion Integration Rack (CIR)/Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME)/Flame Design:

The crew replaced N2 and O2 bottles in the ACME facility. The Flame Design investigation studies the production and control of soot in order to optimize oxygen-enriched combustion and the design of robust, soot-free flames. Soot can adversely affect efficiency, emissions, and equipment lifetime, so this may lead to more efficient and cleaner burner designs. The experiment is conducted with spherical flames of gaseous fuels in the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) as part of the Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME) project.

[свернуть]

Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF):

The crew installed and set up the humidifiers on both the Micro-G and 1-G CBEF facilities. The CBEF is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) sub rack facility; it is an incubator with an artificial gravity generator. CBEF is housed in the Saibo Experiment Rack with the Clean Bench (CB).

[свернуть]

Genes in Space-6:

The crew acquired swab samples from the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) and the JAXA JEM module. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage caused by increased exposure to radiation can affect the long-term health of astronauts. Genes in Space-6 determines the optimal DNA repair mechanisms that cells use in the spaceflight environment. The investigation evaluates the entire process in space for the first time by inducing DNA damage in cells and assessing mutation and repair at the molecular level using the miniPCR and the Biomolecule Sequencer tools aboard the space station.

[свернуть]

Thermal Amine Scrubber (TAS) Operations:

TAS was activated on Saturday following 59 Soyuz arrival but experienced a shutdown Sunday due to blower overcurrent. Node 3 Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) was activated initially, but to improve power balance ground teams proceeded with activating US LAB CDRA which remains operational. Ground teams are assessing the TAS shutdown.

[свернуть]

International Docking Adapter (IDA)3 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparations: In preparation for the upcoming IDA3 EVA, the crew performed the following:

[/li]
• Retractable Equipment Tether (RET) inspection to check for damaged cords.
  
• Photo TV Camera accessories bag audit to verify contents of the bag and take photos of the items for ground review.
  
• NASA Zero-Gravity Lever (NZGL) Familiarization: This is a standard electrical and data EVA connector on the USOS.  The crew reviewed operations and work arounds in the event they have difficulties during the EVA.

Astronauts Relaxing Ahead of U.S. Cargo Mission

Mark Garcia
Posted Jul 23, 2019 at 1:30 pm


Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Nick Hague of NASA harvests Mizuna mustard greens for the VEG-04 botany study that is exploring the viability of growing fresh food in space to support astronauts on long-term missions.

A quartet of Expedition 60 astronauts are relaxing today ahead of planned operations to receive a new space freighter on Friday. Meanwhile, a pair of cosmonauts checked Soyuz spacecraft systems and collected air samples aboard the International Space Station.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday at 6:24 p.m. EDT for the launch of its Dragon cargo craft to resupply the station. Meteorologists, however, predict a 30% chance of favorable weather for a liftoff at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

An on time launch Wednesday would see Dragon arriving at the station early Friday packed with new science experiments and a new International Docking Adapter-3. NASA Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch will be on duty in the cupola to command the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture Dragon at 7 a.m., while Flight Engineer Drew Morgan monitors the cargo craft's telemetry as it approaches the orbiting lab.

The station's newest arrivals including Morgan, Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Alexander Skvortsov of Roscosmos are getting up to speed with station systems today. They are orienting themselves in microgravity, while conducting science and maintenance operations aboard the lab.

Station Commander Alexey Ovchinin checked the air quality over in the Russian side of the station. Skvortsov checked the hatch seal and recharged batteries in the new Soyuz MS-13 crew ship docked to the Zvezda service module.

Towards the end of the day, the entire six-member crew gathered for about an hour to review their roles and responsibilities in the event of an emergency. The four astronauts and two cosmonauts reviewed procedures, safety gear and escape paths for unlikely emergency scenarios such as a fire or a pressure leak aboard the station.

Корабль Dragon доставит на МКС научную аппаратуру для космонавта из ОАЭ
17:34

МОСКВА, 24 июл - РИА Новости. Американский грузовой корабль Dragon, запуск которого планируется в ночь на четверг, должен привезти на Международную космическую станцию (МКС) научное оборудование для первого космонавта ОАЭ, сообщила компания NanoRacks.

Запуск корабля Dragon ракетой-носителем Falcon-9 с космодрома на мысе Канаверал планируется 24 июля в 18.24 по восточному американскому времени (25 июля в 1.24 мск), его прибытие на МКС - 26 июля.

Первый космонавт ОАЭ Хаззаа аль-Мансури полетит на МКС на корабле "Союз МС-15" 25 сентября вместе с россиянином Олегом Скрипочкой и американкой Джессикой Меир. Он пробудет на станции восемь дней и возвратится на Землю 3 октября на "Союзе МС-12" вместе с россиянином Алексеем Овчининым и американцем Ником Хейгом.

Американская компания NanoRacks, занимающаяся проведением коммерческих экспериментов на американском сегменте МКС и запуском с него малых спутников, сообщила в Twitter, что на корабле Dragon на станцию она отправляет аппаратуру для 80 экспериментов, в том числе для первого космонавта ОАЭ.

Ранее источники РИА Новости в ракетно-космической отрасли сообщали, что первый космонавт ОАЭ во время пребывания на МКС будет жить на американском сегменте станции, так как на российском сегменте не будет свободной каюты. Кроме того, научная программа его полета будет составлена национальными учеными при помощи коллег из США и проводиться на оборудовании американского сегмента МКС.

С 2012 по 2019 годы к МКС были отправлены 18 американских грузовых кораблей Dragon, созданных компанией SpaceX Илона Маска. Один из кораблей не долетел до станции из-за аварии ракеты Falcon-9.

В июне 2018 года Роскосмос и Космический центр имени Мухаммеда бен Рашида подписали соглашение о полете первого космонавта ОАЭ на МКС. В сентябре 2018 года в подмосковном Центре подготовки космонавтов началась тренировка двух кандидатов в космонавты ОАЭ - военных летчика Хаззаа аль-Мансури и инженера сетевой поддержки Султана аль-Нейади.

Космический грузовик Dragon привезет на МКС 2,5 тонны груза
18:09

ВАШИНГТОН, 24 июл – РИА Новости. Космический корабль Dragon отправится к Международной космической станции на ракете-носителе Falcon 9 с 2,5 тоннами груза, сообщило НАСА.

Запуск намечен на 18.24 по времени Восточного побережья США (01:24 мск, четверг) с космодрома на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида). Стыковка грузового корабля с МКС намечена на 26 июля. Как заметил на брифинге представитель НАСА, вероятность благоприятной для старта погоды - лишь 30%. В случае переноса старта новая попытка состоится не раньше, чем через сутки.

Как сообщила в среду на брифинге представитель компании SpaceX, которой принадлежит ракета-носитель и грузовой корабль, для Dragon это третий рейс на МКС и второй полет для первой ступени ракеты Falcon-9. Традиционно для своих стартов SpaceX планирует посадку первой ступени ракеты для ее последующего использования.

На орбиту будут доставлено около 2,5 тонн груза, в том числе материалы для нескольких десятков научных экспериментов. Как рассказали накануне авторы исследований, это принтер-лаборатория для создания человеческих органов для их будущей трансплантации, исследования в области восстановления костной ткани и другие эксперименты в области медицины и биологии. Также Dragon доставит адаптер международного образца (International Docking Adapter-3, IDA–3) для его последующей установки на МКС.

Грузовик будет оставаться на орбите до 20 августа, после чего вернется на Землю с отработанными материалами и результатами научных изысканий.

Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Christina Koch of NASA monitors a mobility test of the free-flying Astrobee robotic assistant.

Forecasters predict a 30% chance of favorable weather today for the liftoff of a U.S. cargo craft at 6:24 p.m. EDT from Florida. Mission managers are getting ready to launch the SpaceX Dragon loaded with new science experiments and the International Docking Adapter-3.

Dragon is planned to arrive at the orbiting lab Friday at 10 a.m. NASA Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Christina Koch will be on duty in the cupola to command the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture Dragon.

Meanwhile on the International Space Station, the expanded Expedition 60crew stepped up their science activities with virtual reality filming, free-flying robotics tests and RNA sequencing.

New crewmember Drew Morgan of NASA filmed himself today with a 360-degree camera inside the Harmony module. Morgan talked into the camera, as have previous station residents, describing his experience adapting to life in microgravity for the first time. Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency set up the camera this morning to record the virtual reality experience for audiences on Earth.

Morgan and Parmitano along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov are still getting up to speed with life on the orbiting laboratory. The crewmates have been in space less than a week and are familiarizing themselves with safety procedures and the station's galley, crew quarters, medicine cabinet and toilet.

NASA Flight Engineer Christina Koch split her time today between robotics and RNA sequencing. She set up the Astrobee robotic helper in the morning testing and calibrating its free-flying motion. In the afternoon, Koch inserted RNA samples from a science freezer into the Biomolecule Sequencer to study how the space environment affects biology.

Flight Engineer Nick Hague inspected the U.S. Destiny laboratory's large viewing window today. He photographed and checked the window used for Earth observation studies for cracks, scratches and contamination.

Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov focused on configuring the recently arrived Soyuz MS-13 crew ship docked to the Zvezda service module. The veteran station residents also tested an automated rendezvous system ahead of the launch of a new Progress 73 cargo craft planned for July 31.

The High Definition Earth-Viewing (HDEV) experiment on the International Space Station has experienced a loss of data, and ground computers are no longer receiving communications from the payload. A team of engineers are reviewing the available health and status information from HDEV to identify what may have occurred. Additional updates will be published as they become available.

Crew Waits for Dragon While Getting Used to Space and Working Science

Mark Garcia
Posted Jul 25, 2019 at 12:54 pm


Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Christina Koch of NASA works on U.S. spacesuits.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft will attempt another launch atop the Falcon 9 rocket today at 6:01 p.m. EDT. If the weather cooperates for a liftoff from Cape Canaveral in Florida, Dragon will arrive at the International Space Station on Saturday at 10 a.m. with over 5,000 pounds of cargo for the Expedition 60 crew.

Less than a week into their mission, astronauts Drew Morgan and Luca Parmitano are exploring how living in space impacts their visual perception and spatial orientation. The duo took turns wearing virtual reality goggles today testing how they evaluate motion and distance while free-floating.

NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Nick Hague, who have been in space since March, split their schedule today between science and maintenance work. Koch set up cameras in the Columbus lab module to record Morgan and Parmitano during their experiment work. She then measured airflow throughout the station's U.S. segment.

Hague started his day on plumbing replacing urine-recycling tanks in the Tranquility module. In the afternoon, he stowed algae samples into a science freezer and serviced a 360-degree camera that records cinematic, virtual reality experiences for audiences on Earth.

Cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov researched cardiac activity in the station's Russian segment this morning. Afterward, Commander Ovchinin worked on communications gear before moving on to a space physics experiment. Skvortsov continued unloading the Soyuz MS-13 crew ship and updating the station's inventory system.

All six crewmates started Thursday morning measuring their body mass. A device applies a known force to a crewmember with the resulting acceleration providing an accurate value of their body mass in microgravity. The mass measurement principle is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion stating that force equals mass times acceleration.
