Crews Prepare to Swap Places as Station Eyes California Wildfires


Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik aboard the International Space Station took this photo of the California wildfires in the Los Angeles on Dec. 6, 2017.

Two International Space Station crews are preparing to swap places at the orbital lab next week. In the midst of the crew swap activities, Commander Randy Bresnik also sent down dramatic photographs of the wildfires in California.

The Expedition 52-53 trio is getting its Soyuz MS-05 spacecraft ready for a three-and-a-half hour ride back to Earth on Dec. 14 after 139 days in space. Sergey Ryazanskiy, the Soyuz Commander, will lead his crewmates Randy Bresnik of NASA and Paolo Nespoli of the European Space Agency to a parachuted landing on the steppe Kazakhstan.

Next, the Expedition 54-55 trio will blast off Dec. 17 aboard the Soyuz MS-07 spacecraft and take a two-day trip to its new home in space. Anton Shkaplerov, a veteran cosmonaut from Roscosmos, will lead the flight to the station flanked by first-time astronauts Scott Tingle of NASA and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Back on orbit, Bresnik shared pictures he took on social media of the wildfires threatening the greater Los Angeles area in southern California. He wrote on his Twitter account, "Thank you to all the first responders, firefighters, and citizens willing to help fight these California wildfires."

More wildfire photos can be viewed on the NASA portal and Flickr.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 12/06/2017

OA-8 Cygnus Release:

Спойлер

After yesterday's unberth and the overnight GPS shadowing ("Photobomb") Detailed Test Objective (DTO), today SSRMS ground controllers relocated the Cygnus vehicle to the release point and the onboard crew released the vehicle and monitored its departure. Cygnus will be held in that position overnight and then repositioned for release tomorrow. Cygnus arrived at the ISS on the 14th of November carrying supplies, and is now departing with hardware and trash for disposal.

Combustion Integration Rack (CIR) Ignitor Tip R&R:

Спойлер

Today the crew removed and replaced the Multi-user Droplet Combustion Apparatus (MDCA) ignitor tip inside CIR. The tip burned out last week during Advanced Combustion Microgravity Experiment (ACME) operations, and science operations have been on hold pending this hardware R&R. The ACME project is a set of five independent studies of gaseous flames to be conducted in the CIR. ACME's primary and secondary goals are (1) improved fuel efficiency and reduced pollutant production in practical combustion on Earth, and (2) spacecraft fire prevention through innovative research focused on materials flammability.

Lighting Effects:

Спойлер

Today a 52S crewmember began a two-week long Sleep Shifted session, by logging into the sleep log application and tracking his daily sleep patterns and wakefulness. The Lighting Effects investigation studies the impact of the change from fluorescent light bulbs to solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with adjustable intensity and color and aims to determine if the new lights can improve crew circadian rhythms, sleep, and cognitive performance.

Earth Imagery from ISS Target Operations:

Спойлер

Using the NIKON camera the crew captured time-lapse images of the United Kingdom and the Nile at night. The Earth Imagery from ISS investigation creates a series of videos, showcasing Earth from space. These videos will be taken with cameras on the International Space Station in 6K hi-resolution, then integrated into videos for screensavers for public enjoyment, exploration, and engagement.

Environmental Health System (EHS) Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOCA) Water Recovery System (WRS) Sample Analysis:

Спойлер

This morning, the crew analyzed water quality on board using the EHS TOCA system, looking for contaminants in the water.

EHS Microbial Capture Device (MCD) and Coliform Water Sample Analysis:

Спойлер

Today, the crew analyzed water samples which were taken on Monday. This analysis procedure is designed to detect microbial growth in the ISS water system.

Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Helmet Swap:

Спойлер

Today the crew removed an EMU helmet which has passed its certified lifetime and replace it with a newly launched helmet. The old helmet will be returned to the ground on SpaceX-13 for refurbishment.

With my (very very) close friends @SergeyISS and @AstroKomrade in our Soyuz MS-05, for today's pressure check of our reentry suit. It's always a surprise that we actually fit, even more so now that microgravity made us taller! #VITAmission

The first spacewalk at the station took place 19 years ago today. Spacewalkers Jerry Ross and Jim Newman connected power cables to the new Unity and Zarya modules which had been attached the day before. https://go.nasa.gov/1RBohpj

Gerstenmaier talking about potential reuse of ISS modules, with this chart of potential lifetimes of some elements. He notes it's not feasible to move them out to the vicinity of the Moon given the long travel times to do so.

A shooting star over the west coast of Mexico. I know we were travelling at 17,500 miles per hour, not sure about this guy!

Here is a closer look at that meteor strike. That is so cool how it lights up the surface of the planet and then turns into a traditional shooting star formation.
