ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/22/2017
Posted on August 22, 2017 at 4:00 pm by HQ.

CREAM (Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass):

Спойлер

Last night the CREAM external payload was removed from the SpX-12 trunk by the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and handed off to the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS), which then installed it on Exposed Facility Unit-2 (EFU-2) on the JEM Exposed Facility (JEF). Ground controllers then commanded activation of the CREAM payload. CREAM's instruments measure the charges of cosmic rays over a broad energy range for a planned three years of operation on the ISS. The origins of cosmic rays and the mechanisms that accelerate them to high speeds are among the oldest questions in modern astrophysics. Results from CREAM are expected to bring the science community closer to answering those questions and build a stronger understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe.

Cardio Ox Ultrasound:

Спойлер

A 50S crewmember completed their Return minus 15 Day (R-15) ultrasound, blood pressure and Electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements for the Cardio Ox investigation. Another crewmember provided scanning assistance after the subject crewmember donned the ECG electrodes and marked the carotid and brachial arteries for scanning. By collecting ultrasound and ECG data, along with blood and urine samples, scientists are trying to determine whether biological markers of oxidative and inflammatory stress are elevated during and after space flight and whether this results in an increased, long-term risk of atherosclerosis in astronauts.

ADvanced Space Experiment Processor (ADSEP):

Спойлер

The crew removed Cell Culturing (CellCult) cassettes from ADSEP, ins erted cells into each cassette and reinserted them in to ADSEP. ADSEP is a thermally controlled facility that accommodates up to three cassette-based experiments that can be independently operated. Its companion hardware consists of a collection of several experiment cassettes that accommodate experiments in cell technology, model organisms, 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 mode. The removal of samples and the addition of additives to the reactor volume can be programmed or teleoperated.

Multi-Omics-Mouse:

Спойлер

The crew performed routine maintenance for the Multi-Omics-Mouse Cage Units, exchanging waste collection equipment and odor filters. Several studies have reported space flight effects on the human immune system, but the relationship between microbiota and immune dysfunction during flight remains unclear. In the Multi-Omics-Mouse investigation, food with and without fructooligosaccharides (FOS) will be used as prebiotics, to determine if they improve the gut environment and immune function. After the flight, researchers will analyze the gut environment (microbiota and metabolites) and immune system of the mice by multi-omics analysis.

Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM):

Спойлер

The crew ingressed BEAM and collecteded air and surface microbial samples. BEAM is an experimental expandable module attached to the ISS. Expandable modules weigh less and take up less room on a rocket than a traditional module, while providing additional space on-orbit for living and working. Crews traveling to the moon, Mars, asteroids, or other destinations may be able to use them as habitable structures.

Treadmill 2 (T2):

Спойлер

This afternoon the crew reported a clicking noise emanating from T2 that had not been heard previously. The crew took video and audio which were downlinked for ground team evaluation. T2 is currently no-go for exercise.

Quick science on Dragon arrival


Dragon spacecraft. Credits: NASA

When the Dragon spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station on 16 August with fresh supplies and new experiments ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli was waiting to quickly unpack some biological samples and place them in a waiting incubator.

Спойлер

Kubik incubator. Credits: ESA

The ESA incubator-centrifuge, called Kubik, is a staple for biological experiments in space. It has flown to the Space Station since 2004 and combines a centrifuge with a heater element to keep samples at the right temperature. Kubik can spin samples to create artificial gravity levels, allowing researchers to know for sure if weightlessness or other space factors are influencing biological cells.

To prepare for the arrival of the new experiment Kubik needed to be set up earlier in the week for power and warming up. Paolo plugged in the unit and ran some tests and later confirmed that Kubik was running at 37°C – not coincidentally the temperature of a healthy human being. Once at the Space Station it is important the cells are transferred quickly as they are stored at room temperature in the Dragon which is not ideal for their preservation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUVt64aiVxI

One of the ASI experiments called SERISM, follows on from ESA's Roald and Reslem experiments that investigated on a molecular level why immune cells die more quickly in space. SERISM will look at human blood-derived stem cells from healthy donors on Earth that are transported to the Space Station in Experiment containers that slot into Kubik. Here they will be reprogrammed to produce bone material in microgravity and preserved at different times using chemical fixatives for later analysis.

Back on Earth scientists will analyse the samples and chart the molecule's changes over time, comparing the different sets and a control sample that did not go to space. The researchers at the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome are interested to find out how astronaut's bone metabolism changes on a molecular level.

Cool Flames Investigation:

Спойлер

The crew replaced Multi-user Droplet Combustion Apparatus (MDCA) Fuel Reservoir in support of continued operations for the Cool Flames investigation. Cool Flames provides new insight into the phenomenon where some types of fuels initially burn very hot, then appear to go out, but they continue burning at a much lower temperature, with no visible flames (cool flames). Understanding cool flame combustion helps scientists develop new engines and fuels that are more efficient and less harmful to the environment.

SSRMS LEE A Unable to Latch to MBS Base 3:

Спойлер

Robotics operations Tuesday evening were scheduled to include an MT Translate, an SSRMS Walkoff to MBS Base 3, and an SPDM Unstow in preparation for the P12B_B RPCM R&R that was scheduled for Wednesday evening. During the SSRMS Walkoff, ROBO was unable to latch LEE A to MBS Base 3. High motor currents were observed as the latches on the LEE were being driven. The SSRMS is currently in a safe configuration with LEE B grappled to the Node 2 PDGF. The SPDM is still stowed. The Robotics team is in agreement to stand down on operations until a FIT is convened to discuss the LEE latch motor current data in more detail. It should be noted the LEE A latches are not required to support a Dragon release. As a result of the inability to complete Tuesday evening's planned operations, the RPCM R&R scheduled for Wednesday evening has been postponed.

Treadmill 2 (T2) Status:

Спойлер

Yesterday the crew reported a clicking noise emanating from T2 that had not been heard previously. The crew took video and audio which were downlinked for ground team evaluation and T2 was declared no-go for exercise. Video and audio revealed no obvious sources so the crew was directed to perform T2 annual maintenance. Again, no sources were identified so the crew was given a go to use T2 but to monitor performance and report any further clicking noises.

Cardiac Biology In Space

NASA Johnson

Опубликовано: 24 авг. 2017 г.

Astronauts experience structural changes to their heart during long-duration spaceflight, but the biological basis of that is not clearly understood. Jonathon Baio, a doctoral student at Loma Linda University's School of Medicine, details an investigation of cardiovascular stem cells that hopes to better understand their role in cardiac biology and tissue regeneration, which could advance ways to maintain cardiac health of astronauts during extended missions as well inform future treatments to reverse heart muscle loss upon return to Earth, and may help the medical community combat cardiovascular disease, one of the world's leading causes of death.

Crew Checks New Exercise Gear, CREAM Observes Cosmic Rays
Posted on August 24, 2017 at 12:53 pm by Mark Garcia.


Astronaut Peggy Whitson is pictured at work inside the Unity module. Unity is the node that connects the Russian segment of the space station to the U.S. segment.

A pair of Expedition 52 astronauts checked out new, smaller exercise gear today. The crew also worked on a variety of human research while a new cosmic ray detector has begun scanning outer space.

Спойлер

The space station's two newest astronauts, Paolo Nespoli and Randy Bresnik, joined forces today to measure the effectiveness of the new Mini-Exercise Device-2 (MED2). The MED2 is smaller and less bulky than other space exercise equipment providing more habitability room on a spacecraft. The duo worked out on MED2 and took photographs to demonstrate its ability to provide motion and resistance during an exercise session.

Flight Engineer Jack Fischer scanned his leg artery with an ultrasound device after a short exercise during the afternoon. The Vascular Echo study is examining how blood vessels and the heart adapt to microgravity. Astronaut Peggy Whitson spent her afternoon swapping cell cultures inside the Advanced Space Experiment Processor.

The Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, or CREAM, is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy. CREAM was attached to the outside of the Kibo lab module on Tuesday after a handoff from the Canadian robotic arm to the Japanese robotic arm. CREAM was delivered aboard the SpaceX Dragon and will help determine the origin of the cosmic rays and measure their features across the energy spectrum.

Также не все малые спутники способны выдержать перегрузки и вибрации, которые неизбежны при запуске на ракете с Земли, что в итоге приводит к выходу их из строя и, как следствие, впустую потраченным средствам.

Space Station Camera Captures New Views of Hurricane Harvey

NASA

Опубликовано: 24 авг. 2017 г.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) upgraded the remnants of tropical storm Harvey to a tropical depression on August 23, 2017 at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC). Harvey became better organized and was revived after moving from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and favorable vertical wind shear promoted the regeneration of the tropical cyclone. This video includes views from The International Space Station recorded on August 24, 2017 at 6:15 p.m. Eastern Time.

РКС. РОССИЙСКИЙ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫЙ НАНОСПУТНИК ТНС-0 №2 ПРИНЯТ НА УПРАВЛЕНИЕ
25.08.2017 09:39

Центр управления полетами (ЦУП) АО «Российские космические системы» (РКС, входит в Госкорпорацию «РОСКОСМОС») принял на управление и провел 30 сеансов связи с запущенным с МКС российским наноспутником ТНС-0 №2. Экспериментальные солнечные батареи показали высокую эффективность, бортовые системы работают штатно. Аппарат построен на основе унифицированной платформы нанокласса, разработанной специалистами холдинга РКС. Эксплуатация ТНС-0 №2 позволит доработать наноспутниковую платформу для создания на ее базе серии отечественных малоразмерных космических аппаратов.

Спойлер

Первую телеметрическую информацию с борта ТНС-0 №2 разработчики аппарата получили уже 18 августа, на следующий день после запуска, который осуществили во время выхода в открытый космос космонавты Федор ЮРЧИХИН и Сергей РЯЗАНСКИЙ.

Главный конструктор ТНС-0 №2 Олег ПАНЦЫРНЫЙ: «Оба канала связи работают, мы собираем и анализируем телеметрические данные. Энергетика бортовой сети и средняя температура на борту находятся в пределах нормы, служебные системы работают штатно. Новые экспериментальные солнечные батареи, установленные на ТНС-0 №2, уже продемонстрировали высокую эффективность – на солнечной стороне мы имеем в среднем не менее 900 mA отдаваемого тока, и это очень хороший показатель».

После отработки сервисных систем ТНС-0 №2 специалисты РКС продолжат тестирование бортовой аппаратуры и планируют провести ряд научных экспериментов. На борту спутника установлено разработанное в РКС экспериментальное навигационное, энергетическое, датчиковое и вычислительное оборудование. В ходе полета ТНС-0 №2 эта аппаратура пройдет полный цикл испытаний и получит сертификат летной годности для установки на перспективные космические аппараты.

Одна из задач ТНС-0 №2 – сбор телеметрической информации для ученых из Института прикладной математики им. Келдыша, которые работают над созданием программного обеспечения для активной системы ориентации. Собранные спутником данные от магнитометра и солнечных датчиков будут использоваться для тестирования построенной специалистами института компьютерной модели. Как ожидается, спутник проработает на орбите от 3 до 5 месяцев.

Сейчас в РКС формируется проект долгосрочной программы создания малых космических аппаратов для научных экспериментов и решения практических задач в интересах экономики России. Разработанную специалистами холдинга наноспутниковую платформу планируется использовать для создания на ее базе космических аппаратов связи и дистанционного зондирования Земли.
