Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF-L) Current Measurements:
Спойлер
Using an oscilloscope and probe, the crew measured current in the SAIBO main power cable at various locations. These activities will help ensure CBEF-L is in a good configuration to support the Space Organogenesis science arriving on SpX-21. CBEF-L provides new capabilities with additional new resources such as a full high definition video interface, ethernet, 24 VDC power supply, and a larger diameter centrifugal test environment.

Drop Vibration:
Спойлер
The crew performed the initial frequency scans to determine which frequencies are usable, and then performed two tests. Inertial Spreading with Vibration and Water Coalescence (Drop Vibration) examines the behavior of big liquid drops whose perimeter of contact, called the contact line, moves rapidly as the drops change shape either forced by vibration or freely by merger. These motions, fast and small on Earth, become slower and larger in microgravity and can be more closely observed. Such observations improve the currently limited understanding of contact lines, important in applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, water harvesting devices, anti-frost coatings, and the fabrication of semiconductors.

Material Science Research Rack (MSRR) / Materials Science Laboratory (MSL) Sample Cartridge Assembly (SCA) Exchange:
Спойлер
The crew was not able to locate the tool needed to remove the processed SCA and install the next SCA. The ground team is assessing alternate locations for the tool as well as the use of an alternate tool. MSL is currently performing ESA batch-2b science. Batch-2b serves two projects investigating how different phases organize in a structure when metallic alloys are solidified. The project Metastable Solidification of Composites (METCOMP) studies the phase formed by the reaction of the remaining liquid phase with an already formed solid, to form a second solid phase on cooling. For this purpose, Bronze (Copper-Tin Alloys) of different compositions will be processed. The other project, Solidification along a Eutectic path in Ternary Alloys (SETA), looks at how two phases that form together organize into lamellar, or fiber, structures when cooling Aluminum (Copper-Silver Alloys). Both projects will provide benchmark samples that will enable to test numerical models that aim to predict these structures.

Turbine-Ceramic Manufacturing Module (T-CMM):
Спойлер
The crew successfully completed the installation of the T-CMM insert into the T-CMM facility. As of the last report, the ground team was performing a checkout of the system and preparing for the experiment run. T-CMM demonstrates manufacture of single-piece turbine blade/disk combinations (blisks) in microgravity for commercial use. Manufacturing blisks in space could produce parts with lower mass, lower residual stress, and higher strength than those made on Earth due to greatly reduced sedimentation of the solution in microgravity.

Vection:
Спойлер
The crew deployed the appropriate hardware and performed an experiment session. Vection is made up of three tasks that test how orientation perception, motion processing, and depth perception are affected by long duration 0g and return to 1g. The objective of the study is to determine to what extent an astronaut's ability to visually interpret motion, orientation, and distance may be disrupted in a microgravity environment, as well as how it may adapt and how it may be changed upon return to Earth. Multiple experimental time points inflight and upon return to Earth allows for the adaptation and recovery process to be investigated.

Airborne Particulate Monitor (APM) Install:
Спойлер
The crew inspected the APM unit for debris, installed it in its Node 3 location, then powered it up and took photos. Air quality in crewed spacecraft is important for keeping astronauts healthy and comfortable. Although requirements exist for maximum allowable concentrations of particulate matter, currently no measurement capability verifies whether these requirements are met. APM demonstrates an instrument for measuring and quantifying the concentration of both small and large particles in spacecraft air. The data can be used to create a map of air quality in terms of particles and shed light on the sources of such particles.

Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF-L) Configuration Change:
Спойлер
The crew performed reconfiguration of the CBEF-L system as preparation for the upcoming SpX-21 Space Organogenesis investigation. The Development of Advanced 3D Organ Culture System Utilizing the Microgravity Environment (Space Organogenesis) investigation demonstrates growth of organ buds from human stem cells in three-dimensional (3D) cultures in microgravity. Researchers plan to use these cultures to observe growth of the organ buds and analyze changes in gene expression. Cell culture on Earth needs supportive materials or forces to achieve 3D growth, but in microgravity cell cultures likely can expand into three dimensions without those devices.

Life Support Rack (LSR) Pre-gather and Maintenance:
Спойлер
The crew gathered the appropriate hardware, and then replaced water pump 1. Telemetry from previous operations indicated water pump 1 functionality was degraded. The crew also replaced an external filter used in the LSR's water management system. LSR is a technology demonstrator for closed-loop air revitalization. LSR captures carbon dioxide from cabin air and recovers 50% of its oxygen for use by the astronauts. LSR will operate for a minimum of one year on the ISS to demonstrate the robustness of the technology for future exploration missions.

Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR) / Light Microscopy Module (LMM) Advanced Colloids Experiment (ACE) Module Exchange:
Спойлер
The crew performed the activities needed to remove the processed ACE-TR1 (Ellipsoid) module, and then installed an ACE-T11 module. ACE-Temperature Control and Gradient Sample-11 (ACE-T-11) involves the design and assembly of complex three-dimensional (3D) structures from colloids, or small particles suspended within a fluid medium, and control of particle density and phase behavior. Such structures are vital to the design of advanced optical materials and important for 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Assembling structures in microgravity provides insight into the relation between particle shape, crystal symmetry, density, and other fundamental factors.

Grip:
Спойлер
The crew performed the Supine Science 3 session for the Grip investigation. In this test, the crew performs the same tests as seated Sci-2 (tasks related to friction, collisions, etc), but in the supine position. The Grip experiment studies the long-duration spaceflight effects on the abilities of human subjects to regulate grip force and upper limbs trajectories when manipulating objects during different kind of movements: oscillatory movements, rapid discrete movements and tapping gestures.

Plant Habitat-02:
Спойлер
The crew gathered the necessary hardware and gathered leaf samples from the growing radish plants in the module. This second leaf sampling activity went well, and the plants look good over all. Assessment of Nutritional Value and Growth Parameters of Space-grown Plants (Plant Habitat-02) cultivates radishes as a model plant that is nutritious and edible, has a short cultivation time, and is genetically similar to Arabidopsis, a plant frequently studied in microgravity. Developing the capability for food production in space requires understanding cultivation conditions such as intensity and spectral composition of light and the effects of the culture medium or soil. This research could help optimize plant growth in the unique environment of space, as well as evaluation of nutrition and taste of the plants.

Refabricator Stow:
Спойлер
The Refabricator was powered down, removed and stowed for return. The recent series of bonding tests completed the science objectives and Refabricator will be returned to the ground. The Refabricator's objective is to demonstrate a unique process for repeatable, closed-loop recycling of a polyetherimide/polycarbonate plastic material for additive manufacturing in the microgravity environment of the ISS. Eventually, Refabricator type hardware could recycle waste plastic materials into high quality 3D-printer filament, providing the potential for sustainable fabrication, repair, and recycling capabilities on long-duration space missions. This hardware represents a key component of NASA's In-Space Manufacturing (ISM) technology development roadmap.

Spacesuit Evaporation Rejection Flight Experiment (SERFE):
Спойлер
The crew gathered the processed Microbial Capture Device (MCD) and counted the number of purple dots (bacterial colonies) present. The crew reported there were too many purple dots to easily count so she took images of the plate for the ground to evaluate. This was part of the nominal, routine suite of testing for the SERFE experiment. SERFE demonstrates a new technology to remove heat from spacesuits and maintain appropriate temperatures for crew members and equipment during space walks. The technology uses evaporation of water for cooling. The SERFE system incorporates a Titanium and Hastelloy water loop that differs from previous space suit life support systems that use stainless steel. The investigation determines whether microgravity affects performance and evaluates the technology's effect on contamination and corrosion of spacesuit material.

Expedition 64 Flight Engineer Shannon Walker of NASA installs an airborne particulate monitor in the Tranquility module.

Five Expedition 64 astronauts had their day packed with microgravity research while the two cosmonauts had a light duty day aboard the International Space Station following last week's spacewalk.

All seven crew members started the day measuring their body mass with an instrument that follows Newton's second law of motion to account for the lack of gravity. Known as SLAMMD, or Space Linear Acceleration Mass Measurement Device, it applies a known force to an astronaut with the resulting acceleration used to calculate the person's mass.

New station Flight Engineers Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover continued studying how microgravity impacts dexterous manipulation today. Their inputs for the Grip study could help scientists and engineers develop safer, more advanced spacecraft systems and interfaces.

Astronaut Soichi Noguchi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) removed a CubeSat deployer from the Kibo laboratory module's airlock during Monday morning. During the afternoon, he configured life support hardware in the Harmony module.

NASA Flight Engineer Shannon Walker relaxed Monday morning before spending the rest of the afternoon exploring how to manufacture high quality, next generation fiber optic cables in space. Kate Rubins, on her second station mission, studied how water droplets behave in space to help engineers design improved spacecraft fuel and life support systems.

The two station cosmonauts worked on a pair of docked Russian Progress cargo ships, but otherwise relaxed Monday. Commander Sergey Ryzhikov and Flight Engineer Sergey Kud-Sverchkov are winding down several days of cleaning their spacesuits and stowing their tools following Wednesday's six-hour and 48-minute spacewalk.

ЦитироватьРоссийский корабль "Прогресс" оставят в космосе на год
03:01 25.11.2020

МОСКВА, 25 ноя - РИА Новости. Российский грузовой космический корабль "Прогресс МС-14", запущенный на Международную космическую станцию 25 апреля 2020 года, поставит рекорд по длительности пребывания в космосе, говорится в имеющейся в распоряжении РИА Новости предварительной программе работы МКС.

Согласно материалам, "Прогресс МС-14" пробудет в составе станции 370 суток и будет сведен с орбиты в конце апреля-начале мая 2021 года.
Спойлер
Тем самым корабль побьет рекорд "Прогресса М-17", который летал в составе станции "Мир" в 1993-1994 годах 337 суток.

Причина такого длительного нахождения "Прогресса" в космосе не сообщается, однако ранее объявлялось, что ведутся исследования по возможности увеличения сроков нахождения пилотируемых кораблей "Союз" в составе МКС выше 220 суток. Известно, что перед применением на пилотируемых кораблях все технологии проходят апробацию на беспилотных "грузовиках".

"Прогресс МС-14" стал четвертым российским "грузовиком", который отправился на МКС по сверхбыстрой схеме и добрался с Земли до станции за три часа. Пуск корабля был приурочен к 75-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Он привез на станцию более двух тонн грузов, в том числе контейнеры с продуктами питания, медикаменты, санитарно-гигиенические принадлежности для экипажа, оборудование для бортовых систем МКС, аппаратуру для экспериментов.

ЦитироватьАмериканский эксперт оценил возможность продления работы МКС до 2030 года
08:43 25.11.2020

ВАШИНГТОН, 25 ноя – РИА Новости. Американский эксперт, исследователь Гарвард-Смитсоновского центра астрофизики Джонатан МакДауэлл оценил перспективы продления работы Международной космической станции (МКС) до 2030 года: это будет трудно.

"Я думаю, что поддержание работы МКС до 2030 года будет сложно, но она должна проработать немного дольше, чем 2024 год... Думаю, что мы можем начинать видеть на горизонте начало конца МКС, но пока не ясно, произойдет это в 2024, 2026 или 2028 году", - заявил РИА Новости МакДауэлл.

ЦитироватьСпециалист напомнил, что первые модули станции, как российский, так и американский, уже стары. "Самые старые российские (модули) демонстрируют признаки старения, и я думаю, что это является предметом опасения для продолжения жизнеспособности станции, некоторые американские составляющие, такие как ...соединения солнечных батарей, тоже вызывают беспокойство", - отметил эксперт.

Комментируя потенциальную возможность консервации российского участка станции при сохранении работы американского сегмента, он заявил, что "в действительности США хотят выйти из МКС, они бы предпочли тратить деньги на лунную программу Артемис". При этом технически, по его словам, это возможно. "Если бы мы полностью отказались от российского сегмента, США, возможно, могли бы поддерживать работу МКС, поднимая ее орбиту с помощью грузовика Cygnus", - сказал МакДауэлл.

Срок эксплуатации МКС истекает в 2024 году. Россия ведет переговоры с партнерами по станции о продлении срока ее эксплуатации до 2030 года. В мае глава "Роскосмоса" Дмитрий Рогозин говорил, что после 2030 года Россия планирует создать собственную орбитальную станцию. По его словам, вопрос о том, станет ли будущая станция исключительно российской или международной, зависит от мировой конъюнктуры.

МОСКВА, 25 ноя – РИА Новости. Российских космонавтов, находящихся сейчас на Международной космической станции, предупредили, что коллеги с американского сегмента МКС будут пользоваться их санузлом, следует из переговоров экипажа с Землей, которые транслирует НАСА.

"В связи с особенностями функционирования устройства на американском сегменте американскому экипажу придется пользоваться российским. При этом очень важно соблюдать режимы пользования АСУ (ассенизационно-санитарное устройство - ред.)", - сказал специалист Центра управления полетами.

Он не уточнил, что это за особенности функционирования.

На МКС находятся два туалета российского производства: в российском модуле "Звезда" и американском Tranquility. Кроме того, туалеты имеются в двух пристыкованных к станции пилотируемых кораблях "Союз", но они используются в ходе автономного полета корабля и только в случае крайней необходимости во время пребывания на МКС. Также на станцию в октябре доставили новый американский туалет, который сейчас готов к установке в модуле Tranquillity.

Делайте поправку на то, что это РИА. Оно соревнуется с ТАСС по части фактологии ...  ;D

My first video from space! Looking at the Earth through the window of Dragon Resilience. The scale of detail and sensory inputs made this a breathtaking perspective!

Sorry for the gap in tweets! I've been getting adjusted to life on @Space_Station, including setting up my new crew quarters in the cockpit of Dragon Resilience.
