Veg-03 Consumption Harvest #1:

Спойлер

The crew harvested and ate several of the larger leaves from each plant. The remainder of the plants will be left to grow and sprout new leaves. The Veg-03 investigation uses the Veggie plant growth facility to cultivate a type of cabbage, lettuce and mizuna which are harvested on-orbit with samples returned to Earth for testing. Organisms grow differently in space, from single-celled bacteria to plants and humans. Future long-duration space missions will require crew members to grow their own food, so understanding how plants respond to microgravity is an important step toward that goal.

The Expedition 53 crew capped off last week's investigations with fresh pickings of lettuce, cabbage and mizuna harvested from the Veg-03 investigation. There's still some left, though, for the remainder of the vegetation will be allowed to grow and sprout new leaves. Since future long-duration explorers will expected to grow their own food to survive the harsh environment of space and Mars, understanding how plants respond to microgravity is an important component to a robust astronaut food system.

Спойлер

Plants are still on the table for the crew, so to speak, as the week kicks off. Following last week's successful assembly and installation of the Advanced Plant Plant Habitat facility into the EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) Rack 5 (ER5), today the crew moved the Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) Sensor Enclosure to ER5. The automated plant habitat facility will be used to conduct plant bioscience research aboard the International Space Station by providing a large, enclosed, environmentally controlled chamber.

The crewmates also set up the payload components for EarthKAM in Node 2 for a weeklong imaging session. Sally Ride EarthKAM allows thousands of students worldwide to photograph and examine Earth from a space crew's perspective. Using the Internet, the students control a special digital camera mounted on the space station to photograph coastlines, mountain ranges and other geographic items of interest from the incomparable viewpoint of space. Later, the varied topographies are shared online for the public and participating classrooms to observe.

Around noon EDT, Station Commander Randy Bresnik and Flight Engineer Joe Acaba of NASA shared insights about living and working aboard the nation's most unique U.S. National Laboratory with students from Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, California.

ISS Non-invasive Sample Investigation and results Transmission to ground with the Utmost easiness (In Situ):

Спойлер

The crew collected a saliva sample and processed it in the bioanalyzer for the In Situ investigation. Crewmembers are continuously monitored for health changes, and as part of these measurements, they have to take saliva samples that are stored and returned to Earth later. The IN SITU bioanalysis is a portable device that can check crewmembers' saliva on board, enabling direct real-time analysis. The device's first uses are to monitor stress levels and appetites among crewmembers. Humans living in space experience dramatic changes to their health, from weakened bone and muscle to reduced appetites and increased stress levels. The device uses disposable cartridges that check for the presence of the stress hormone cortisol. A miniature analytical device that can detect certain biomarkers using non-invasively collected samples would benefit health care workers on Earth, from emergency medical technicians on call, to small rural clinics in developing countries.

ПАМЯТНАЯ ДАТА. 2000 ГОД – ПЕРВАЯ ДЛИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЭКСПЕДИЦИЯ НАЧАЛА РАБОТУ НА МКС
2 ноября 2017

Первая длительная экспедиция на МКС

17 лет назад, 2 ноября 2000 года, Международная космическая станция (МКС) начала свою работу в пилотируемом режиме. Космический корабль «Союз ТМ-31» с экипажем первой долгосрочной экспедиции пристыковался к служебному модулю «Звезда». В состав экипажа МКС-1 входили российские космонавты Юрий ГИДЗЕНКО, Сергей КРИКАЛЕВ и американский астронавт Уильям ШЕПЕРД.

31 октября 2000 года космический корабль «Союз ТМ-31» отправился на МКС с «Гагаринского старта», той же стартовой площадки с космодрома БАЙКОНУР, с которой в 1961 году стартовал Юрий ГАГАРИН. Утром 2 ноября, корабль пристыковался к МКС. Сближение корабля со станцией проводилось по схеме, которая использовалась при полетах на станцию «Мир». Спустя девяносто минут после стыковки люк был открыт, и экипаж МКС-1 впервые ступил на борт МКС.

Спойлер

Прибыв на МКС, космонавты осуществили расконсервацию, дооснащение, запуск и настройку систем модулей «Звезда», «Юнити» и «Заря» и установили связь с центрами управления полетами в подмосковном Королёве и Хьюстоне. В течение четырех месяцев было выполнено 143 сеанса геофизических, медико-биологических и технических исследований и экспериментов. Кроме этого команда МКС-1 обеспечила стыковки с грузовыми кораблями «Прогресс М1-4» (ноябрь 2000 г.), «Прогресс М-44» (февраль 2001 г.) и американскими шаттлами Endeavour («Индевор», декабрь 2000 г.), Atlantis («Атлантис»; февраль 2001 г.), Discovery («Дискавери»; март 2001 г.) и их разгрузку.  Также в феврале 2001 года команда экспедиции осуществила интеграцию лабораторного модуля «Дестини» в состав МКС.

21 марта 2001 года с американским космическим шаттлом «Дискавери», который доставил на МКС экипаж второй экспедиции, команда первой долгосрочной миссии вернулась на Землю. Местом посадки стал Космический центр имени Дж. Ф. Кеннеди, штат Флорида, США.

Сегодня МКС представляет собой совместный проект, в котором участвуют космические агентства разных стран: РОСКОСМОС (Россия), NASA (США), JAXA (Япония), CSA (Канада), ESA (страны Европы).

С созданием МКС появилась возможность выполнения научных экспериментов в уникальных условиях микрогравитации, в вакууме и под воздействием космических излучений. Основные области исследований – биология, физика и материаловедение.

МКС – это уникальный опыт международного сотрудничества, поддержки и взаимовыручки; строительства и эксплуатации на околоземной орбите крупного инженерного сооружения, имеющего первостепенное значение для будущего всего человечества.

Routine—and not-so-routine—housekeeping duties continue for Expedition 53 aboard the International Space Station in preparation for an upcoming Orbital ATK 8 (OA-8 ) commercial launch targeted for Nov. 11.

Спойлер

The crewmates prepared the Permanent Multipurpose Module rack fronts to accept cargo by moving smaller items off and staging them for disposal. During OA-8 cargo operations, the items marked for disposal will be swapped with new cargo arriving aboard OA-8.

During Orbital ATK's eighth Cygnus resupply mission, the cargo craft will make a nine-minute ascent to space and then begin a two-day trek to the space station. Upon arrival, it will captured by Canadarm2 and installed for a month-long stay. Tonight, ground teams will reboost the station using the thrusters on Progress 67, which will put it at the proper altitude to meet up with Cygnus.

The crew also spent part of the workday photo documenting their uncommon "home life" aboard the orbiting laboratory for the Canadian Space Agency study called At Home in Space. This investigation assesses the culture, values and psychosocial adaptation of astronauts to a space environment shared by multinational crews during long mission timeframes. Questionnaires answered by the crew will help answer if astronauts develop a unique, shared space culture as an adaptive strategy for handling the cultural differences they encounter in their isolated and confined environment by creating a home in space.

For Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba of NASA, their day was punctuated by an educational downlink with students from Shaker Heights High School in Cleveland, Ohio. The students were immersed in the science and technology studies being executed daily approximately 240 miles above Earth.

Astronaut Energy Requirements for Long-Term Space Flight (Energy):

Спойлер

The 51S subject conducted day 9 of the 11-day Energy experiment run, by logging their food and drink consumptions throughout the day. The Energy investigation is conducted over an 11 day period (day 0 through day 10) and measures an Astronaut's Energy Requirements for Long-Term Space Flight, a crucial factor needed for sending the correct amount of the right types of food with space crews. Nine astronauts will be examined during exercise and rest cycles three months before launch, three months after arriving at space station and adapting to the space environment, and after return to Earth. Physicians will measure metabolic rates, urine content, and bone density to determine energy needs.

At Home in Space:

Спойлер

The crew took photographs today to document ISS culture. This Canadian Space Agency investigation assesses culture, values, and psychosocial adaptation of astronauts to a space environment shared by multinational crews on long-duration missions. It is hypothesized that astronauts develop a shared space culture that is an adaptive strategy for handling cultural differences and they deal with the isolated confined environment of the spacecraft by creating a home in space. At Home in Space also uses questionnaires to investigate individual and culturally related differences, family functioning, values, coping with stress, and post-experience growth.

On top of the world

When you're on top of the world—or orbiting it—there's no better place to be. NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) had a late night yesterday, staying up to watch a special uplink from Mission Control: Game 7 of the World Series. The winning outcome was cause for celebration, as the Astros have many fans at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, which is home base for the astronauts.

Спойлер

Today, the crew worked to size up the exercise equipment they rely on to sustain muscle mass and prevent bone loss while living and working in space. They set up cameras in Node 3 to capture video from multiple angles of the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) and Miniature Exercise Device (MED-2) hardware, applied body markers, performed exercises and transferred the video for delivery to Mission Control. Aboard ISS, the exercise equipment is large and bulky, which is OK because the orbiting laboratory is about the size of a three-bedroom house. But, for Mars or other destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, available space will be difficult to come by. MED-2 aims to demonstrate that small robotic actuators can provide the same quality motion and resistance for crew workout sessions, thus reducing the size and weight of exercise devices for space missions farther out and lengthier in duration. Evaluating MED-2's game-changing technology is crucial to the design and development of second- and third-generation hardware that is much lighter, smaller and more reliable than what is used now.

An Expedition 53 crew member read "Notable Notebooks Scientists and Their Writings Read" on camera for Story Time from Space. These recordings are downlinked and then used in schools, combining science literacy with simple concept experiments that children can follow along with on the ground. The videos are posted in a library with accompanying educational materials, further promoting science, technology, engineering and math to budding scientists, engineers and explorers.

The station's altitude was raised last night during a three minute, 26-second firing of the ISS Progress 67 thrusters. The reboost of the complex was the first of two such maneuvers this month to set up the correct trajectory for the landing of the Expedition 53 crew on Dec. 14 in south central Kazakhstan and the launch, three days later, of the Expedition 54-55 crew from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
