Wrapping up a record-setting flight, Peggy Whitson, America's most experienced astronaut with nearly two years of time in orbit across three missions, returned to Earth Saturday after a 288-day stay aboard the International Space Station, landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan with Soyuz MS-04 commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and flight engineer Jack Fischer.

Descending gently under a billowing orange-and-white parachute, the Soyuz crew module, scorched after a fiery high-speed plunge back into the atmosphere, settled to a jarring rocket-assisted touchdown near the town of Dzezkazgan at 9:21 p.m. EDT (GMT-4; 7:21 a.m. Sunday local time).

Russian recovery crews quickly reached the spacecraft to help the returning crew members out of the cramped descent module as they begin their re-adjustment to the unfamiliar tug of gravity.

...

During the change-of-command ceremony, Bresnik took over from Yurchikhin, who presented him with a symbolic "key to the space station."

With the departure of the Soyuz MS-04 crew, "we lose 1,474 days worth of spaceflight experience," Bresnik said. "If you do the math, that's four years and two weeks of spaceflight experience that you guys cumulatively have together.

"When you think about the days of training that it takes for every single day here in orbit, that four years and two months comes across as many, many lifetimes of normal astronauts and cosmonauts. The work you put forward and the effects it will have on human spaceflight's future will be felt for many, many years to come."

Referring to Whitson by her nickname — space ninja — Bresnik thanked her and wished her well in Japanese, saying "domo arigato gozaimasu, American space ninja Peggy."

Bresnik and his Soyuz MS-05 crewmates Sergey Ryazanskiy and Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli will have the station to themselves until Sept. 13 when three fresh crewmates — Soyuz MS-06 commander Alexander Misurkin, NASA flight engineer Mark Vande Hei and Joseph Acaba — arrive to boost the lab's crew back to six.

The space station's crew normally is evenly split between the Russians and the U.S. segment, with three cosmonauts and three astronauts representing NASA, ESA, Japan and Canada. But the Russian decision to downsize its crews in the near term gave NASA the opportunity to fill those seats with U.S. Operating Segment — USOS — crew members.

...

During the interim, thanks to Whitson's extended mission, U.S. research that otherwise would have been sharply curtailed was able to continue.

For the next year or so, the station's six-member crew will feature two cosmonauts and four USOS crew members. By the time the Russians resume their normal three-person staffing, commercial crew ships being built by SpaceX and Boeing should be in operation, allowing NASA to maintain the expanded USOS crew complement.

РОСКОСМОС. РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТА «УРАГАН»
06.09.2017 16:12

Космонавт РОСКОСМОСА Сергей РЯЗАНСКИЙ 2 и 3 сентября 2017 года в рамках реализации программы экспериментов на борту Международной космической станции (МКС) миссии МКС-52/53 осуществил съемку долин рек Адылсу и Баксан (Кабардино-Балкария) – район, где в ночь на 1 сентября был зафиксирован сход мощного селевого потока.

Спойлер

Фотосъемка была осуществлена в ходе проведения эксперимента «Ураган», одного из более чем 50 экспериментов, запланированных в рамках этой миссии. Он направлен на отработку технических средств и методов наблюдения поверхности Земли с борта российского сегмента МКС. Суть эксперимента в том, что экипаж выполняет визуальные наблюдения и съемку заданных районов Земли фотоаппаратурой с разными уровнями разрешения и спектральные измерения с использованием фотоспектральной системы (ФСС). Объекты наблюдений - районы потенциально опасных природных явлений.

В результате получены изображения с разрешением на местности 2–3 м, которые переданы в Институт географии РАН. Обработав снимки, ученые РАН установили все основные места обрушения склонов, целостность всех мостов автодорог и частичное разрушение территории оздоровительного лагеря «Джантуган» с падением в реку 10 небольших строений. В день катастрофы этот лагерь, к счастью, не функционировал.

Сход селя произошел в результате переполнения двух озер, расположенных у ледника Башкара. Вода этих озер удерживалась валами моренных отложений ледника – каменными грядами с ледовым ядром. Вначале образовался прорыв верхнего озера, вода которого хлынула в нижнее озеро, затем вода устремилась в долину реки Адылсу, захватывая камни и грунт, воздействуя на склоны долины, что вызвало обрушение нескольких участков нижних террас, по которым проходит дорога с асфальтовым покрытием. Несколько альплагерей и баз отдыха оказались отрезанными. Селевые массы были вынесены в долину реки Баксан, в результате чего произошло обрушение нескольких участков надпойменной террасы общей протяженностью около 4 км, по которым проходит федеральная автодорога. Отрезанными от внешнего мира оказались более 7 тыс. человек: местные жители, отдыхающие и туристы.

Electro-static Levitation Furnace (ELF) Inspection:

Спойлер

On Friday, the crew inspected the ELF chamber and removed Foreign Object Debris (FOD) located in the ELF chamber. The FOD will be returned to the ground for additional analysis. ELF activities will resume after SpX-12 unberthing.

[свернуть]

Miniature Exercise Device (MED-2) Operation Session:

Спойлер

Yesterday the crew was scheduled to exercise while using MED-2 body markers and multiple camcorders for ground evaluation. Because the loading strap was fully extended and could not be retracted, the crew completed only the ARED exercise portion of the experiment and ground teams are working on a forward plan to conduct the evaluation portion of the investigation. The ISS's exercise equipment is large and bulky, while the MED-2 aims to demonstrate small robotic actuators can provide motion and resistance for crew workout sessions, reducing the size and weight of exercise equipment for long-duration space missions. The MED-2 investigation is a system to test key technologies needed to develop space based exercise equipment that may provide appropriate countermeasures to the adverse effects of microgravity. This technology is critical for the initial design and development of second and third generation Counter Measure Systems (CMS) hardware that is an order of magnitude lighter and smaller than existing ISS class of CMS hardware and that has significantly greater reliability.

Multi-Omics-Mouse:

Спойлер

On Friday, the crew collected blood samples fr om the mice. Saturday the crew refilled the mice water supply. Today the crew exchanged the waste collecting equipment and odor filter of the Mouse Habitat Cage Unit in glove box, and then transferred the Mouse Cage Units with mice from glove box to Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF). 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.

[свернуть]

Fine Motor Skills (FMS):

Спойлер

The crew performed their FMS sessions this morning. The FMS experiment is executed on a touchscreen tablet, wh ere the crew performs a series of interactive tasks. The investigation studies how fine motor skills are effected by long-term microgravity exposure, different phases of microgravity adaptation, and sensorimotor recovery after returning to Earth gravity. The goal of FMS is to answer how fine motor performance in microgravity trend/vary over the duration of a six-month and year-long space mission; how fine motor performance on orbit compare with that of a closely matched participant on Earth; and how performance trend/vary before and after gravitational transitions, including the periods of early flight adaptation, and very early/near immediate post-flight periods.

New Exercise Tech, DNA Studies on Station as New Crew Preps for Launch
Posted on September 6, 2017 at 12:42 pm by Mark Garcia.


The Expedition 53-54 crew members (from left) Joe Acaba, Alexander Misurkin and Mark Vande Hei. Misurkin is a Roscosmos cosmonaut making his second trip to the station. Acaba and Vande Hei are both NASA astronauts. Acaba is making his third trip to space. Vande Hei is about to embark on his first space mission.

A new set of Expedition 53 crew members arrived at the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch site today ahead of their Sept. 12 liftoff to the International Space Station. NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Mark Vande Hei along with cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin will take a near six-hour ride to their new home in space aboard the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft.

The orbiting Expedition 53 trio is checking out new exercise gear today that takes up less space and is more reliable than current station equipment. The crew is also getting ready to explore DNA alterations that occur when living in space.

The new Mini-Exercise Device-2 (MED-2) is an order of magnitude lighter and smaller than existing equipment on the station. Commander Randy Bresnik worked out on the MED-2 today testing its ability provide motion and resistance workouts. Bresnik performed deadlifts and rows on the MED-2 to demonstrate its reliability of its small robotic actuators.

The commander also set up a work area for upcoming work with the student-designed Genes In Space experiment. The experiment will explore ways to observe how microgravity alters DNA and weakens the immune system.

Flight Engineer Paolo Nespoli from the European Space Agency checked out physics and life science equipment today. The veteran astronaut cleaned and installed handrails on the Electromagnetic Levitation device then swapped out gear inside the Space Automated Bioproduct Lab.
