ISS Daily Summary Report – 9/27/2018

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV)-7 Capture and Berthing:

Спойлер

Yesterday evening, Robotics Ground Controllers performed a survey of the Node 2 Nadir Active Common Berthing Mechanism (ACBM) sealing surface as required prior to HTV berthing. Today, the ISS Crew (Feustel, Auñón-Chancellor, Gerst) monitored the HTV-7 approach from the Cupola Robotic Workstation (RWS) and, at approximately 11:34 GMT, with Feustel at the controls, they successfully captured HTV using the SSRMS. Next, the Robotics Ground Controllers used the SSRMS to maneuver HTV-7 into position to support the inspection of the HTV-7 Passive CBM and then to maneuver the HTV-7 to and install it on the Node2 Nadir Active CBM at approximately 13:42 GMT. Node2 Nadir Active CBM was Ground commanded to capture and bolt the HTV-7 to the ISS. The Robotic Ground Controllers then released the HTV-7 and maneuvered the SSRMS to grapple the HTV-7 External Platform (EP). Here, HTV Berthing Camera System (HBCS) was checked out on both cameras and SSRMS is now providing heater power to the EP.

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV)-7 Ingress:

Спойлер

Following a successful berthing by Houston Flight Controllers, the crew pressurized the Node 2 Nadir vestibule and preformed a leak check. Following the successful leak check, the crew outfitted the vestibule by removing the Center Disk Cover and HTV Hatch Thermal Blanket, mating power and data jumpers to HTV, installing IMV Supply jumpers, and installing closeout panels after removing the CBM Controller Panel Assembly. Ingress into HTV-7 was accomplished shortly thereafter; HTV Cargo Operations will begin tomorrow morning.

Atomization:

Спойлер

Today the crew performed closeout activities for the Atomization experiment. As of GMT 269, all the planned runs for Increment 56 have been completed. The Atomization experiment is performed in the JEM. It investigates the liquid spraying process in microgravity in order to confirm the new atomization concept developed from drop tower experiments on Earth. The knowledge gained can be applied to improve various engines utilizing spray combustion.

Fluidics:

Спойлер

Today Run 3 was completed, followed by the closeout activities for the experiment. The closeout included removal of the Fluidics tank, removal of the Fluidics hardware from seat-tracks, and stow. Fluidics is a fluid mechanics experiment with two main objectives: perform a Slosh study to investigate fluid behavior under microgravity during satellite maneuvers, and a Wave Turbulence study to investigate the impact of capillary effect on wave turbulence without being masked by the effect of gravity.

Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Water Recharge:

Спойлер

A water dump and fill was completed for EMUs 3003 and 3008 to satisfy maintenance requirements for on-orbit stowage. In addition, a water sample was obtained from the In-Flight Refill Unit (IRU) to verify continued adherence to EMU water quality requirements. During the activity, ground teams lost EMU data on EMU 3003 and the activity was completed on the alternate radio. Since EMU 3003 is planned to be used for the upcoming EVAs in October, teams will meet tomorrow to discuss the anomaly and determine the forward plan.

Российские ученые хотят создать модуль на МКС для выращивания человеческих органов

Замруководителя научно-технического центра РКК "Энергия" Дмитрий Сурин считает, что к такому модулю могли бы курсировать корабли, чтобы снабжать людей на Земле необходимым биоматериалом

МОСКВА, 28 сентября. /ТАСС/. Российские ученые рассчитывают, что на Международной космической станции (МКС) появится отдельный модуль, в котором будут выращиваться человеческие органы. Об этом говорится в , размещенном на официальном канале РКК "Энергия" в видеохостинге YouTube.


Cюжет был посвящен предстоящему на МКС эксперименту "Магнитный 3D-биопринтер".

"В идеале - создать отдельный модуль, где можно было бы выращивать целые органы, не повреждая клетки", - заявил в ролике диктор, рассказывая о перспективах эксперимента.

"К этому модулю могли бы курсировать корабли (доставлять материал и возвращать на Землю уже напечатанные образцы - прим. ТАСС), чтобы снабжать людей на Земле тем необходимым биоматериалом, который сейчас приходится ждать от доноров", - рассказал в сюжете заместитель руководителя научно-технического центра РКК "Энергия" Дмитрий Сурин.

О принтере

Спойлер

Заявитель эксперимента - лаборатория биотехнологических исследований "3D Биопринтинг Солюшенс", это российский стартап, являющийся "дочкой" компании "Инвитро". Впервые в России организация-заявитель сама оплачивает создание и испытание научной аппаратуры.

По итогам первого этапа эксперимента ученые планируют получить образцы размером в 2-3 мм. Планируется, что это будет хрящевая ткань человека и щитовидная железа грызуна.

3D-биопринтер создан для выращивания живых тканей, а впоследствии и органов, но также его можно будет использовать для изучения влияния условий космоса на живые объекты в длительных полетах. В дальнейшем биопринтер может использоваться как заявителями эксперимента, так и сторонними научными коллективами. Его назначенный срок службы - пять лет.

Как отметили в РКК "Энергия", определение "3D-биопринтер" не совсем подходит аппаратуре. "Это название является довольно условным: у устройства нет никаких движущихся частей, процесс выращивания материала происходит не аддитивно, то есть послойно, а с использованием "формативного" принципа, когда образец растет в сильном магнитном поле в условиях микрогравитации. Внутри прибора установлены камеры GoPro, с помощью которых можно будет наблюдать за ходом эксперимента", - заявили в корпорации.

В перспективе эта методика может применяться для создания органов из биоматериалов конкретных пациентов. "У такого способа сразу два очевидных преимущества: не надо ждать, когда появится подходящий для пересадки донорский орган, и автоматически решается вопрос приживаемости. Еще одно возможное применение биопринтера - выращивание белковой пищи, например, космического фарша, который будет продолжать расти по мере его употребления", - рассказали представители предприятия.

Three of the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, including two NASA astronauts, are scheduled to return to Earth on Thursday, Oct. 4. NASA Television and the agency's website will provide complete coverage of their departure fr om the station and landing back on Earth.

Expedition 56 Commander Drew Feustel and Flight Engineer Ricky Arnold of NASA, along with Flight Engineer and Soyuz Commander Oleg Artemyev of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, will close the hatch to their Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft and undock from the station's Poisk module, heading for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan a little more than three hours later. 

The crew is completing a 197-day mission spanning 3,152 orbits of Earth and a journey of 83.4 million miles. During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew of Expedition 56 carried out science experiments ranging from physics to biological studies and conducted tests to expand navigation capabilities in preparation for future travel far from Earth. They also participated in NASA's Year of Education on Station, which links students on Earth directly to astronauts aboard the space station.

After landing, the crew will return by helicopter to the recovery staging city in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, wh ere they will go their separate ways. Feustel and Arnold will board a NASA plane and fly back to Houston, while Artemyev will return to his home in Star City, Russia.

Coverage of the Expedition 56 departure and landing activities is as follows (all times EDT):

Wednesday, Oct. 3
