ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/24/2017
Posted on August 24, 2017 at 4:00 pm by HQ.

Miniature Exercise Device (MED-2):

Спойлер

The crew set up cameras in Node 3 and Cupola to capture video from multiple views of the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) and MED-2 hardware, applied body markers, performed exercises and transferred video for downlink. The microgravity environment of space weakens muscle and bone, so orbiting crew members spend significant amounts of time exercising with equipment that is large and bulky. MED-2 aims to demonstrate that small robotic actuators can provide motion and resistance for crew workout sessions during long-duration space missions with exercise equipment that is smaller in size and mass that equipment currently being used on the ISS.

ADvanced Space Experiment Processor (ADSEP):

Спойлер

The crew will removed Cell Culturing (CellCult) cassettes from ADSEP, ins erted cells into each cassette and reinserted them into ADSEP. ADSEP is a thermally controlled facility that accommodates up to three cassette-based experiments that can be independently operated. A collection of experiment cassettes are used to accommodate experiments in cell technology, multiphase fluids, solution chemistry, separation science, microencapsulation, and crystal growth. For CellCult investigations, each cassette contains a rotating filtered bioreactor, a reservoir for fresh media, two peristaltic pumps, a waste reservoir, and up to 6 sample-collection or reagent containers connected by a manifold to the reactor. Cultures can be operated in continuous perfusion, batch fed, static, or sampling modes. The removal of samples and the addition of additives to the reactor volume can be programmed or teleoperated.

Microbial Tracking-2 (MT-2):

Спойлер

The crew collected saliva samples for the Microbial Tracking-2 investigation and placed them in a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI). After the samples are returned to Earth, a molecular analysis of the RNA and DNA will be conducted to identify the specific microbes that are present on ISS. MT-2 monitors the different types of microbes on ISS over a 1-year period and how they change over time.

Vascular Echo Ultrasound:

Спойлер

With guidance from a ground expert, a crewmember performed an ultrasound of the femoral artery on their right leg after a one minute light leg exercise. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Vascular Echo investigation examines changes in blood vessels and the heart while the crew members are in space, and then upon their return to Earth. The results could provide insight into potential countermeasures to help maintain crew member health.

Lighting Effects:

Спойлер

This morning a crewmember provided a sleep log entry for the Lighting Effects investigation. The light bulbs on the ISS are being replaced with a new system designed for improved crew health and wellness. Fluorescent bulbs are being replaced with solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that have adjustable intensity and color. Investigators will determine if the new lights improve crew circadian rhythms, sleep, and cognitive performance. Results from this investigation also have implications for people on Earth who use electric lights.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/25/2017
Posted on August 25, 2017 at 4:00 pm by HQ.

Lung Tissue:

Спойлер

The crew took samples and fixed media in Tissue Bags. They then ins erted the bags in a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI). The Lung Tissue investigation uses the microgravity environment of space to test strategies for growing new lung tissue. Using the latest bioengineering techniques, the Lung Tissue experiment cultures different types of lung cells in controlled conditions onboard the ISS. The cells are grown in a specialized framework that supplies them with critical growth factors so that scientists can observe how gravity affects growth and specialization as cells become new lung tissue.

Space Technology and Advanced Research Systems (STaARS) Intraterrestrial Fungus (iFUNGUS):

Спойлер

The crew removed 2 sample bags fr om a General Laboratory Active Cryogenic ISS Experiment Refrigerator (GLACIER) and ins erted them in the STaARS facility for incubation times of 8 and 11 hours, respectively. The bags were later removed and stored in a MELFI. The crew repeated the above steps for 2 more sample bags but for incubation times of 18 and 23 hours. STaARS-iFUNGUS cultures a rare type of fungus in the microgravity environment of space to support the search for new antibiotics. The fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum, comes fr om deep in the Earth's subsurface and shows potential as a source for new antibacterial compounds. For the iFUNGUS experiment frozen fungal spores are transported to the ISS, fungus is grown in different nutrient mixtures over different intervals, and frozen samples are returned to Earth wh ere scientists examine how they grew and what chemicals they produced. Discoveries generated by this research can foster further research and production efforts that utilize low gravity conditions to create novel compounds or other products.

MagVector:

Спойлер

The crew performed closeout and cleanup activities for the 7-day MagVector Run #12. The European Space Agency (ESA) MagVector investigation studies how the Earth's magnetic field interacts with an electrical conductor. Using extremely sensitive magnetic sensors placed around and above a conductor, researchers can gain insight into ways that the magnetic field influences how conductors work. This research may help improve future ISS experiments and offer insights in to how magnetic fields influence electrical conductors in general.

Rodent Research 9 (RR-9):

Спойлер

The crew replaced old food bars and cleaned the Animal Habitats to support the ongoing RR-9 investigation which studies how microgravity affects the immune systems, muscles and bones of rodents during extended stays on the ISS. After approximately 30 days aboard the ISS, the mice will be returned to Earth wh ere scientists on the ground will study how their time in space has affected various tissues, including brain, muscle, heart, joints, eyes and the immune system.

[свернуть]

SUPVIS-Justin:

Спойлер

The crew se t up hardware for ESA's SUPVIS-Justin investigation operations and completed a protocol operation. SUPVIS-Justin, part of the Meteron program, aims to demonstrate that an astronaut on an orbiting space station can command a robot via a tablet PC to perform complex tasks on a planetary surface. The SUPVIS Justin experiment includes an extended supervised autonomy concept: the crew gives high level commands to the robot, which then uses its local intelligence and decision-making capability to execute a task independently, according to pre-programmed algorithms. In this sense, the responsibility of decision-making is shared between the crew and the robot.

[свернуть]

Microbial Tracking-2 (MT-2):

Спойлер

The crew collected saliva samples for the Microbial Tracking-2 investigation and placed them inside a MELFI. After the samples are returned to Earth, a molecular analysis of the RNA and DNA will be conducted to identify the specific microbes that are present on ISS. MT-2 monitors the different types of microbes on ISS over a 1-year period and how they change over time.

Dose Tracker:

Спойлер

A crewmember made a weekly medication tracking entry in the Dose Tracker application that runs on an iPad. Dose Tracker documents the medication usage of crewmembers before and during their missions by capturing data regarding medication use during spaceflight, including side effect qualities, frequencies and severities. The investigation is expected to provide anecdotal evidence of medication effectiveness during flight and any unusual side effects experienced. It is also expected that specific, near-real-time questioning about symptom relief and side effects will provide the data required to establish whether spaceflight-associated alterations in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics is occurring during missions.

Jack and Peggy's Excellent Adventure

NASA Johnson

Опубликовано: 28 авг. 2017 г.

A little more than 200 people have ever actually made a spacewalk, and the rest of us have to wonder what it's like—maybe this will help! In May 2017 NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer each wore a small high definition video camera during a spacewalk on the International Space Station; here, for the first time ever, we've cut together those video streams and added the space to ground audio so you can go out on the EVA with the astronauts and get a sense of what it's like to be your own little spaceship.

MEDIA ADVISORY M17-096

Media Invited to Talk to Record-Breaking NASA Astronaut Before Landing

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson's final news conference from the International Space Station will air live on NASA Television and the agency's website at 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug. 30.

Спойлер

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson posted this image to her Twitter account (@AstroPeggy) of her storing blood samples in the International Space Station's ultra-cold freezer for eventual return to Earth.

The 30-minute news conference will take place just days before Whitson returns to Earth after spending more than nine months aboard the orbiting laboratory, and breaking a number of records in space. Media may ask questions from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston or Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as well as by phone.
...
Whitson launched to the space station Nov. 17, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and is set to return Saturday, Sept. 2. She will land in Kazakhstan at 9:22 p.m. (7:22 a.m. Kazakhstan time on Sept. 3) along with NASA's Jack Fischer and cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos. Fischer and Yurchikhin have been Whitson's crew mates since they arrived at the space station in April.

Whitson and Fischer will return to Houston's Ellington Field on Sunday, Sept. 3.

After landing, Whitson will hold the U.S. record for cumulative time in space, with 665 days in space during three long-duration missions. She was originally scheduled to return to Earth in June, but her mission was extended in March, increasing the amount of valuable astronaut time available for hundreds of experiments she and her crewmates participated in. She is the woman who has spent the longest time in orbit during a single spaceflight (288 days). Whitson also holds the records for most spacewalks and time spent spacewalking by a female astronaut. During her second mission, she became the first woman to command the space station, and during this mission, she became the first woman to command the station twice – she was station commander from April 9 through June 1.
