ISS Daily Summary Report – 12/07/2017

Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF) Sample Operations:

Спойлер

The crew retrieved and cleaned the ELF sample cartridge and then transferred three samples from one set of sample holders to another set of holders. ELF is an experimental facility designed to levitate, melt and solidify materials by container less processing techniques using the electrostatic levitation method. With this facility, thermophysical properties of high temperature melts can be measured and solidification from deeply undercooled melts can be achieved.

Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) SmoothNav:

Спойлер

The crew completed several battery swaps to prepare for the upcoming SmoothNav experiment test run next week. SmoothNav develops an estimation algorithm aggregating relative state measurements between multiple, small, and potentially differently instrumented spacecraft. The algorithm obtains the most probable estimate of the relative positions and velocities between all spacecraft using all available sensor information, including past measurements. The algorithm remains portable between different satellite platforms with different onboard sensors, adaptable in the case that one or more satellites become inoperable, and tolerant to delayed measurements or measurements received at different frequencies.

Fundoscope and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Eye Exams:

Спойлер

Two crewmembers completed routine fundoscope and OCT exams today. Eye exams are performed regularly onboard in order to monitor crewmembers eye health. Eyesight is one of the many aspects of the human body that is affected by long-duration stays in a microgravity environment.

Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) 3003 Checkout and Liquid Cooled Venting Garment (LCVG) Fill:

Спойлер

Following the recent gas trap and pump inlet filter R&Rs, the crew checked out EMU 3003 and performed a leak check on it to verify proper installation of the hardware. The crew also filled a backup LCVG with water.

Robotic Workstation (RWS) Ground Camera Calibration:

Спойлер

Today, Part 1 of the 2 part RWS camera calibration was completed successfully. Part 2 was not required. The calibration will provide an accurate tool for crew monitoring of Visiting Vehicle (VV) overlays on the RWS. The actual cameras were not modified during the process, but rather the RWS' knowledge of the camera pointing was modified to compensate for any misalignment. This activity was performed in support of the upcoming SpaceX-13 VV launch and capture.

LS1 Server Transition:

Спойлер

Today, ground teams transitioned the LS1 server over to run on a new ZBook computer onboard station. The server will now run as a virtual machine under HyperVisor.

Aboard @Space_Station in 0-g, you can work out #fitness anywhere. Sasha runs on the forward wall while @SergeyISS lifts 'weights' on the back wall.

NASA TV to Broadcast Briefings Before SpaceX Dragon Launch

NASA commercial cargo provider SpaceX is targeting its 13th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station no earlier than 11:46 a.m. EST Tuesday, Dec. 12.

Спойлер

Mission coverage will begin on NASA Television and the agency's website Monday, Dec. 11 with two news briefings.

Packed with about 4,800 pounds of research, crew supplies and hardware, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

NASA TV Coverage Schedule:

Monday, Dec. 11
 

[/li]
• 11 a.m. – Prelaunch news conference with representatives from NASA's International Space Station Program, SpaceX, and the 45th Space Wing
• 3:30 p.m. – "What's on Board" science briefing, highlighting research testing: fiber optic filaments, how plants respond to microgravity, the accuracy of a biosensor used for diabetes management, a drug delivery system for combatting muscle atrophy and instruments to measure the Sun's energy input to Earth and orbital debris.
  

Tuesday, Dec. 12

[/li]
• 11:15 a.m. – Launch commentary coverage begins
• 1:15 p.m. – Post-launch news conference with representatives from NASA's International Space Station Program and SpaceX
  

L-2 Weather Update

Meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing are predicting 90 percent chance of favorable weather for liftoff on Tuesday. The primary weather concern is liftoff winds.

L-1 Day Briefings Scheduled for SpaceX CRS-13

Today marks "L-1" – launch minus one day – for tomorrow's scheduled launch of SpaceX's 13th commercial resupply to the International Space Station. Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft is planned for 11:46 a.m. EST Tuesday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing are predicting a 90 percent chance of favorable weather at launch time, with liftoff winds the primary concern.

NASA's Kirk Shireman is, I'm sure, talking eloquently about the upcoming mission, but his audio doesn't seem to be working...

2 мин назад

He's appearing from JSC, so I guess we can say, "Houston, you have a problem."

[tnt22]

О погоде на пуск

Jeff Foust‏ @jeff_foust 2 мин. назад

Shireman, on if he'll be more anxious about tomorrow's launch using a previously-flown Falcon 9 first stage: every time we launch a rocket I'm anxious.

[tnt22]

Jeff Foust‏ @jeff_foust 1 мин. назад

Both Shireman and SpaceX's Jessica Jensen emphasize that flying a previously-flown booster has "overall equivalent risk" versus a new booster; some risks higher, others lower.

[tnt22]

Jeff Foust‏ @jeff_foust 3 мин. назад

Jensen: expect to use refurbished Dragon capsules for the remainder of the current CRS cargo contract.

[tnt22]

Jeff Foust‏ @jeff_foust 2 мин. назад

Shireman: optimistic we can launch on 12th or 13th; have one more attempt on 15th before having to stand down until at least Dec. 25.

[tnt22]

Jeff Foust‏ @jeff_foust 15 сек. назад

Shireman: not unexpected Boeing and SpaceX commercial crew test dates slipped to the right; planning for those dates to slip further. No talks with Russia about buying additional Soyuz seats, though.
