Arthrospira-B (Batch Culture) Assembly:

Спойлер

Four Arthrospira experiment containers were removed from the Biolab Incubator to exchange the reservoirs inside the Biolab. Following the exchange of the reservoirs, the ECs were reinstalled back onto Biolab Incubator. The Arthrospira B experiment is an important step in making improvements in the area of closed regenerative life support systems in space which will help in making future human exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit become a reality. The cyanobacterium Arthrospira sp. strain PCC8005 is a candidate for use in spacecraft biological life support systems, for CO2 and nitrate removal, and oxygen and biomass production. However, to ensure the reliability of such a biological life support system it is necessary to characterize the response of Arthrospira sp. PCC8005 to in situ spaceflight conditions.

Space Technology and Advanced Research Systems (STaARS) BioScience-2 Experiment Container (EC) Transfers:

Спойлер

After being stowed in the STaARS facility for over 170 hours at 25 degrees Celsius, the crew transferred the STaARS BioScience-2 ECs from the facility into a +4 degrees Celsius Glacier. BioScience-2 encompasses two experiments, Experiment Grimm and Experiment Ulrich, which is performed by three investigation teams, all utilizing the same hardware, but processing different biological samples. The principle aim of Experiment Grimm is to investigate how thyroid carcinoma cells react, when they are exposed to real microgravity. The expected information may help to improve in vitro cancer studies such as antitumor drug or transendothelial migration tests. Experiment Ulrich will investigate microgravity-associated long-term alterations in primary human macrophages, the most important effector cells of the immune system, which are responsible for attacking and killing bacteria and other foreign and pathogenic intruders in the human body. The aim of the experiment is to analyze surface molecules, which are required for recognition of bacteria and cell-cell-communication, and to investigate the cytoskeletal architecture after several days in microgravity.

Amyloid Sample Transfer:

Спойлер

The Amyloid samples were retrieved from the +2 degree Celsius Dewar of MELFI, installed in the measurement experiment unit and then attached to the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) wh ere they were incubated for 6 hours. After the incubation was complete, the experiment units were detached from the CBEF and the samples were removed and stowed in the MELFI at -95 degrees Celsius. Amyloid fibril is the protein aggregation that is known to be associated with various diseases including Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. To develop treatments for Alzheimer's disease, it is important to elucidate the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation. In this study, aiming to elucidate the mechanism of amyloid fibril formation, we will prepare the high-quality homogeneous amyloid fibrils using microgravity environment, and bring back the samples to characterize the fibrillation process and intermediate structure by NMR and electron microscopic analyses.

The crew photographed the spare petri plates that are secured to the Advanced Biology Research Facility (ABRS) photo-grid on the maintenance work area. When plants are grown in the confines of the International Space Station (ISS), they do not seem to get enough air and as a result, exhibit a stress response in their genes and proteins. The Spaceflight-induced Hypoxic/ROS Signaling (APEX-05) experiment grows different wild and mutant varieties of Arabidopsis thaliana, in order to understand how their genetic and molecular stress response systems work in space. The plants grow from seeds in the Veggie plant growth facility aboard the ISS, are frozen, and returned to Earth for detailed laboratory analysis.

Posted Dec 28, 2017 at 1:28 pm on Space Station


The Sahara Desert is pictured Dec. 24 as the space station orbited over the border of the African nations of Mali and Algeria.

After a Russian cargo ship departed the International Space Station Thursday, the Expedition 54 crew is wrapping up the final work week of 2017 orbiting Earth and conducting science. The six astronauts and cosmonauts will go into the last weekend of 2017 with light duty and family conferences before taking New Year's Day off.

Спойлер

The Progress 67 (67P) resupply ship finished its stay six-and-a-half month at the station's Zvezda service Thursday at 8:03 a.m. EDT. Cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Anton Shkaplerov packed the 67P full of trash the closed its hatches before it automatically undocked. It will re-enter Earth's atmosphere and safely burn up over the south Pacific Ocean.

Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai took his turn on the exercise bike today for a study researching physical exertion in space. Doctors measure the astronauts breathing and other parameters during exercise to ensure they have the strength to perform strenuous activities such as spacewalks and even emergency procedures.

Flight Engineer Scott Tingle of NASA was harvesting plants for the Advanced Plants Experiment-05 (APEX) and stowing the botany samples in a science freezer for further analysis. Scientists are exploring how plants respond to microgravity and observing molecular and genetic changes.

The life science studies help mission doctors keep astronauts healthier and stronger while living in outer space. Also, NASA is planning longer human missions beyond low-Earth orbit and learning how to keep crews self-sustainable.

Finally, three U.S. astronauts, two Russian cosmonauts and a Japanese astronaut on the orbital laboratory will experience New Year's Eve 16 times as they orbit Earth once every 90 minutes. That is 16 sunrise and sunsets 250 miles above Earth. The crew will take the day off, share a meal and reflect on the past year and plan for the year ahead.

Progress MS-06 Cargo Craft Closes Out 196-Day Mission with ISS Departure & Re-Entry
December 28, 2017

Russia's Progress MS-06 cargo spacecraft closed out a mission of over six months on Thursday, departing the International Space Station after a 194-day stay and firing its main engine to drop out of orbit for a fiery re-entry over a remote stretch of the Pacific Ocean. Thursday's undocking also closed out the reign of visiting vehicle traffic at ISS for 2017 after the Station saw four crew rotations, three Russian Progress craft and six U.S. commercial resupply vehicles.

Спойлер

The Progress MS-06 mission, the 159th flight of a Progress resupply craft, launched on June 14, 2017 atop a Soyuz 2-1A rocket blasting off fr om Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome and sending the 7,277-Kilogram spacecraft into a 200-Kilometer orbit from wh ere it was up to the Progress to link up with the Space Station, orbiting 400 Kilometers above the planet. After a trouble-free two-day rendezvous, Progress MS-06 docked to the aft port of the Station's Zvezda Service Module on June 16 to kick off a long docked mission.

Progress MS-06 delivered 2,560 Kilograms of cargo to the Space Station, comprising 620 Kilograms of refueling propellant for transfer to ISS, 420kg of water for crew consumption and oxygen generation, 47kg of pressurized gas to top up the Station's atmosphere, and 1,473 Kilograms of dry cargo consisting of food provisions, crew supplies, maintenance gear and scientific experiments. Cargo delivered inside the pressurized section of the Progress included four small satellites which were deployed on the only Russian-based spacewalk of the year, performed on August 17 by Cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy.

Over the course of its 27-week stay, Progress MS-06 also provided propulsive support and conducted five orbital reboost maneuvers to keep the Space Station orbiting above 400 Kilometers and set up phasing for Russian visiting vehicle operations.

Over the course of its mission, Progress MS-06 was unloaded by the Russian crew members and its cargo was replaced with trash and no-longer needed items, including liquid waste transferred to the Rodnik water tanks of the spacecraft once the fresh water had been transferred to ISS. Originally, Progress MS-06 was booked for a stay through December 7 but received a three-week extension as ISS schedules were adjusted, creating a fairly long stay near the spacecraft's maximum certified orbital life.

With its mission coming to an end, Progress MS-06 was buttoned up by Russian crew members Aleksandr Misurkin and Anton Shkaplerov on Tuesday. Steps to close out the spacecraft included powering up the vehicle and closing its and the Zvezda hatch so that leak checks could commence to verify a good seal between the spacecraft. The crew was not involved in the undocking itself with Mission Controllers in Moscow sending all the necessary commands to demate hooks on the Zvezda side, switch the spacecraft to autonomous power and activate the docking mechanism for the 90-second demating sequence starting once the undocking command was issued.

Loaded springs pushed the seven-metric-ton spacecraft away from the 411-metric-ton ISS at 1:03:30 UTC on Thursday and Progress drifted away passively until reaching a distance of 20 meters when it fired its DPO thrusters to accelerate the departure. Moving away from ISS along the velocity vector, Progress began opening a gap of over ten Kilometers before firing up on its deorbit burn.

Ignition of the KTDU-80 main propulsion system on the rocket-powered braking maneuver occurred at 4:10 UTC and the deorbit burn had a duration of three minutes to slow the Progress by around 100 meters per second and transition it from an orbital trajectory onto a downward arc intercepting the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. Roscosmos said re-entry was marked at 4:43 UTC when the spacecraft dipped into the dense atmosphere, burning up to a large extent with surviving debris falling into a stretch of the Pacific also known as Spacecraft Cemetery.

Calculations by ballisticians at MCC Moscow showed that any surviving fragments of the Progress impacted the ocean at 4:51:34 UTC, marking the end of the 69th Progress mission in support of the International Space Station after a flight duration of 196 days, 19 hours and 31 minutes.

For the International Space Station, after some downtime for the crew and ground team over the holidays, the pace of operations is about to accelerate heading into the new year. Robotics will be in full swing over the coming days to extract the Total and Spectral Irradiance Sensor from the Trunk Section of the Dragon SpX-13 spacecraft (expected to begin late UTC on Dec. 28 ) followed by its installation on Express Logistics Carrier 3 on December 30th.

Dragon is currently penciled in for departure on January 13 which will shift the crew's focus from science to a series of spacewalks – two USOS EVAs are planned in late January to complete the replacement of the second Latching End Effector on the Station's Canadarm2 after LEE-A was replaced in 2017; and a Russian Spacewalk is on the schedule for February 2nd.

The next Progress mission to the Space Station is currently looking at a same-day launch and docking on February 11, aiming for a two-orbit rendezvous that would set the record for the fastest ISS docking ever performed.
