Anne McClain of NASA looks at a laptop computer screen inside the U.S. Destiny laboratory module during ground conference operations.

The Expedition 58 crew participated in a suite of psychological, biomedical and physics experiments today. The orbital residents are also getting ready to send off a U.S. cargo craft on Friday.

Astronauts Anne McClain and David Saint-Jacques collaborated today on an experiment that observes how living in a spacecraft for long periods impacts crew behavior. The duo typed personal impressions about working in space in a private journal then took a robotics test to measure cognition. The astronauts also answered a questionnaire to gather more cognitive data before going to sleep.

McClain also collected and stored biological samples for a pair of human research studies looking at physiological changes and negative effects on bone marrow and blood cells. Saint-Jacques looked at how fluid mechanics affects fuel tanks in spaceships and ocean systems on Earth.

Commander Oleg Kononenko focused his day inside the station's Russian segment. The veteran cosmonaut worked on computers, maintained life support systems and photographed Earth landmarks today.

Friday at 11:10 a.m. EST, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter will depart the station after 81 days attached to the Unity module. Robotics controllers will remotely guide the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple Cygnus overnight. McClain will then command the Canadarm2 on Friday to release Cygnus back into Earth orbit as Saint-Jacques backs her up and monitors the activities.

Cygnus has more to do after its release. It will begin to deploy several sets of CubeSats after it reaches a safe distance from the space station. The U.S. resupply ship will then reenter Earth's atmosphere in late February over a remote portion of the Pacific Ocean for a fiery but safe destruction.

#НовостиИзНевесомости от космонавта Олега Кононенко
В ежедневные обязанности космонавтов входит не только работа с различными научными экспериментами, но и техническое обслуживание станции, благодаря которой поддерживается работоспособность космического «дома».
Вчера, 5 февраля, космонавт Олег Кононенко заменил блок управления системы «Электрон», которая вырабатывает и генерирует кислород.
Углекислый газ (CO2) на МКС захватывают поглотители системы «Воздух» и высвобождают его в забортное пространство.
Теряемый в составе CO2 кислород восполняется за счет электролиза воды (разложения ее на водород и кислород). Этим на станции как раз и занимается система «Электрон», расходующая 1 кг воды на человека в сутки.

Posted Feb 6, 2019 at 12:47 pm


Astronaut Anne McClain of NASA peers into a microscope and takes photographs for the Protein Crystal Growth-16 experiment that is exploring therapies for Parkinson's disease

The astronauts onboard the International Space Stationcontinued exploring today how living in space affects their minds and bodies. The Expedition 58 crew also researched fluid physics and prepared a resupply ship for its departure.

Anne McClain of NASA collected blood and urine samples this morning for the Repository physiology study. She spun the samples in a centrifuge then stowed them in a science freezer. She later took a cognition test in support of the Lighting Effectsexperiment that seeks to improve health and wellness.

Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques along with McClain answered a pair of questionnaires in support of the Standard Measures and Behavioral Core Measures psychology studies. He also wrapped up a physics study observing the mechanics of fluids in hardware that represents a spacecraft fuel tank.

McClain will be in the cupola Friday at 11:10 a.m. EST and release the U.S. Cygnus resupply ship from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Saint-Jacques will back her up Friday and monitor the cargo vessel's departure. The duo is finalizing packing, will install a small satellite deployer in Cygnus then close the hatches on Thursday.

Over in the station's Russian segment, Commander Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos worked on power supply and battery maintenance in the Zarya module. The long-serving cosmonaut also researched crew psychology and studied radiation exposure.

За 5 лет космонавты преодолели путь, равный экватору Земли, на парящем в невесомости тренажере
 Давыдов Данила ОНИЛ-1 
 06.12.2018
 
 Беговая дорожка для международной космической станции (МКС) или тренажерный комплекс БД-2 — первая подобная российская разработка. Она заменила американский аналог на борту российского сегмента МКС. 
 
 Ключевой особенностью тренажера стала уникальная система виброзащиты, созданная в Самарском университете. Она успешно отработала 4 000 часов в космосе и превзошла назначенный техническим заданием ресурс (3 500 часов). Учитывая среднюю скорость бега во время тренировки на орбите, получается, что за 5 лет российские космонавты на беговой дорожке МКС преодолели путь равный экватору Земли*. 
 Комплекс БД-2 стал результатом тесной кооперации Самарского университета с РКК "Энергия" и Институтом медико-биологических проблем РАН. При проектировании беговой дорожки был использован многолетний опыт вуза в создании систем защиты аппаратуры авиационной и ракетно-космической техники от динамических и виброакустических нагрузок.
 Перед коллективом Самарского университета стояла задача создать систему виброзащиты, способную амортизировать огромные динамические нагрузки, возникающие во время бега космонавта на тренажере — около 200-250 кг. Они могут вызывать опасные низкочастотные колебания конструкций МКС, способные их разрушить.
 
 Инженеры и ученые вуза решили эту задачу используя собственную разработку — уникальный демпфирующий материал МР (металлическая резина)**. Кроме того, было использовано нестандартное конструкторское решение. Вместо того чтобы жестко прикрепить тренажер и пытаться обеспечить его стабильное положение с помощью электромеханических устройств, они позволили ему парить в невесомости, соединив комплекс с бортом МКС только слабыми механическими связями — четырьмя низкочастотными (0,2 Гц) виброизоляторами из МР. В результате соударения тренажера с конструкциями станции не происходит, и передаваемая нагрузка падает в 80 раз, составляя всего 3 кг. 
 Учитывая безупречное техническое состояние систем тренажерного комплекса БД-2, его ресурс был увеличен и принято решение о продолжении эксплуатации на борту МКС.





 
 Комментарии
 Олег Артемьев, космонавт, Герой России, участник двух космических экспедиций на МКС, провел в космосе свыше 365 дней
 "Занятия на различных тренажерах, на беговой дорожке — обязательное условие при работе на МКС. Причем нормы и нагрузки для космонавтов просчитаны медиками на Земле, поэтому никакой самодеятельности — мы бежим в соответствии с заранее составленной программой. Сначала делается разминка в активном режиме, потом я выбираю одну из четырех программ (циклограмм), и бегу, интервально актив-пассив, чтобы не было большой нагрузки на колени. Находясь на МКС, которая летит с приблизительной скоростью 8 километров в секунду, я понимаю, что за 40 минут "пробегаю" расстояние равное половине Земного шара — и это завораживает".
 Данила Давыдов,  заместитель главного конструктора отраслевой научно-исследовательской лаборатории (ОНИЛ-1) Самарского университета 
 "Конструкция дорожки обеспечивает ей все шесть степеней свободы, это значит, что в определенных пределах тренажер может перемещаться по трем линейным осям — вперед/назад, вправо/влево, вверх/вниз, а также совершать угловые движения: крен, тангаж и рысканье. Тренажер висит в невесомости сам по себе, а наша система его чуть-чуть придерживает. Во время тренировок космонавтов он колеблется слегка, но от станции фактически отделен.
 ***
 Все изделия ракетно-космической техники проходят наземные испытания, завершающий этап — это испытания на надежность. Их объем просто огромный, так как эта характеристика одна из ключевых, а испытание на ресурс составляет значительную часть этих проверок. На стендах нашей лаборатории мы имитировали нагрузки, которым наша система виброизоляции будет подвергаться в космосе. Проведенные испытания подтвердили ресурс — 3500 часов. Это значит, что в течение этого времени система должна работать без сбоев, поломок и простоев. Однако стендовые и наземные испытания — это одно, а космос — другое. По-настоящему рассудить может только эксплуатация. И то, что назначенный ресурс мы полностью подтвердили эксплуатацией, даже с превышением на 500 часов, говорит об очень высокой надежности системы".
 Никита Химорода, главный специалист Института медико-биологических проблем РАН (ГНЦ РФ-ИМБП РАН) — головного разработчика отечественного тренажера
 "БД-2 — первый в истории российский тренажерный комплекс. До этого в российском сегменте МКС использовались американские тренажеры, использующие электромеханические системы гашения вибрации. Виброзащита российского тренажера спроектирована совершенно иначе. Она базируется на принципах механики и благодаря этому по своим характеристикам значительно превосходит зарубежную.
 Основное отличие в том, что система виброизоляции, созданная в Самарском университете, пассивная (энергонезависимая). Ее функционирование не требует энергии, а это неоценимо для МКС, где нет никакого источника энергии кроме солнечных батарей. Ежедневно все космонавты тренируются на бегущей дорожке БД-2 на борту космической станции по 40-45 минут в день. А за месяц до спуска на Землю начинается усиленный режим по две тренировки в день. Не менее важно, что эта система виброзащиты простая и надежная. Это подтверждается фактами — она с лихвой отработала назначенный ресурс".
 Для справки
 * - На разных этапах тренировки космонавт развивает на беговой дорожке скорость от 7 до 14 км/час. 
 ** - Металлическая резина (материал МР) — уникальный демпфирующий материал, разработанный и производимый в лабораториях Самарского университета. Материал МР обладает полезными свойствами резины и способен, вместе с тем противостоять агрессивным средам, высоким и низким температурам, а также другим неблагоприятными внешним воздействиям. Секрет заключается в особой технологии плетения и прессования спиральных металлических нитей разного диаметра.
 Полученные таким способом демпферы на основе материала МР существенно превосходят (в частности, по надёжности) известные в России и за рубежом аналоги, они традиционно используются в производстве отечественной космической и авиационной техники, а также в современных наземных и морских транспортных системах.
 Изделия же из материала МР, благодаря цельнометаллической структуре, спокойно выдерживают температуры до 400 °С, а также имеют высокие ресурсные показатели, поскольку процессы разрушения в них развиваются сравнительно медленно. Ещё одной интересной особенностью металлического аналога резины является то, что при разрушении прессованных нитей спирали внутри виброизолятора его демпфирующие свойства усиливаются. Например, гарантия качества на виброизоляторы из МР для локомотивов даётся на 25 лет, а для космической техники — на 15 лет.

Cygnus Ready for Friday Departure and CubeSat Deployments

Mark Garcia
Posted Feb 7, 2019 at 12:06 pm


The Cygnus space freighter is maneuvered by the Canadarm2 robotic arm shortly after its arrival and capture at the International Space Station on Nov. 19, 2018.

Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter is just a day away from completing its tenth mission to the International Space Station. The Expedition 58 crew is training today for Cygnus' robotic release on Friday and preparing it for one more mission afterward.

Cygnus is in the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm today still attached to the Unity module. Robotics controllers will uninstall Cygnus from Unity early Friday and remotely maneuver the space freighter to its release position.

NASA astronaut Anne McClain will take over the robotics controls as David Saint-Jacques from the Canadian Space Agency backs her up inside the cupola. She will command the Canadarm2 to release Cygnus back into space at 11:10 a.m. EST Friday. NASA TV will begin its live coverage of Cygnus' release starting at 10:45 a.m.

The two astronauts practiced the release of Cygnus today and finished the installation of the Slingshot small satellite deployer inside the spacecraft. Slingshot will eject a set of CubeSats from Cygnus once the cargo vessel reaches a safe distance from the station about eight hours after its release.

Friday's Cygnus departure will leave a pair of Russian spacecraft docked to the station including the Progress 71 cargo craft and the Soyuz MS-11 crew ship. Two more spaceships are due to visit in March including a demonstration version of SpaceX's first crew Dragon and the Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft with three new Expedition 59-60 crew members.

Multi-purpose Small Payload Rack (MSPR): Today, a crewmember installed the Florescence Microscope into the MSPR work volume and ground initiated a one-week checkout in preparation for Space Moss observations during the SpaceX-18 mission. The MSPR is a multipurpose payload rack system used in the JEM. It has two workspaces and a worktable that can be used for wide fields of space environment utilization including science and educational missions.

NanoRacks External Cygnus CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD): A crewmember performed photography of the NRCSD-15 mission deploys. The NRCSD is a stackable, modular, ground loaded launch case. Each NRCSD accommodates up to 6.5U and eight launch cases are stacked for each JEM Airlock opening. The NRCSD meets the growing demand to deploy CubeSat format satellites fr om the International Space Station for a variety of customers.

Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME): A crewmember replaced hardware on the ACME unit by installing a new mesh power supply and closeout panel. The ACME experiment series being performed in the CIR includes five independent studies of gaseous flames. The primary goals of ACME are to improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollutant production in routine fuel combustion activities on Earth. Its secondary goal is to improve spacecraft fire prevention through innovative research focused on materials flammability.

Northrop Grumman 10 (NG-10) Cygnus Cargo Operations: The crew continued Cygnus cargo operations in preparation for the vehicle departure, currently planned for February 8.

Crew Wraps Up Biomedical Studies; Films Station in Virtual Reality

A pair of biomedical experiments are wrapping up today aboard the International Space Station as the Expedition 58 crew began its weekend. The orbital residents are also filming a virtual reality (VR) experience and working on plumbing and life support hardware.

Anne McClain of NASA removed sensors from her head and chest this morning that collected data about her circadian rhythm, or "biological clock," and how it is adapting off Earth. Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques stowed the wearable Bio-Monitor hardware that monitors an astronaut's vital signs during normal activities with minimum interference.

Circadian Rhythms: Today a crewmember doffed the Circadian Rhythms hardware. This completes the 3rd session for this increment. Circadian Rhythms investigates the role of synchronized circadian rhythms, or the "biological clock," and how it changes during long-duration spaceflight. Researchers hypothesize that a non-24-hour cycle of light and dark affects crewmembers' circadian clocks.

The ISS Experience: Today a crewmember setup the ISS Experience hardware in the US Lab in order to record portions of the CIR ACME reconfiguration and chamber insertion into the CIR rack. ISS Experience creates a virtual reality film documenting daily life aboard the space station. The 8 to 10 minute videos created from footage taken during the six-month investigation cover different aspects of crew life, execution of science aboard the station, and the international partnerships involved. The ISS Experience uses a Z-CAM V1 Pro Cinematic VR (Virtual Reality) 360-degree camera with nine 190° fisheye lenses.

Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME): Today a crew completed the part 2 of the ACME hardware reconfiguration. The ACME experiment series being performed in the CIR includes five independent studies of gaseous flames. The primary goals of ACME are to improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollutant production in routine fuel combustion activities on Earth. Its secondary goal is to improve spacecraft fire prevention through innovative research focused on materials flammability.

Universal Waste Management System (UWMS): The crew successfully installed a new double stall enclosure within Node 3 today. During the activity, the crew experienced a water leak while de-mating a Quick Disconnect (QD) for the potable water bus. Approximately 9.5 liters leaked before the bus was isolated by MCC-H flight controllers. The crew worked quickly to re-mate the leaky QD and soak up the water with towels. An alternate QD was then de-mated in order to continue with the installation. The new concept, referred to as the Universal Waste Management System (UWMS), includes favorable features from previous designs while improving on other areas from Space Shuttle and the existing ISS Waste Collection System (WCS) hardware. This double stall enclosure provides privacy for both the Toilet System and the Hygiene Compartment.

The starboard side will provide access to the existing toilet and the port side will be used for hygiene until new replacement Toilet System arrives in early 2020.

Kubik: Over the weekend a crewmember performed upgrades, checkout and activation of the Kubik 6 hardware. Samples from Kubik 5 were transferred to Kubik 6 and the Kubik 5 was de-installed and stowed. Kubik is a small controlled-temperature incubator or cooler with removable inserts designed for self-contained, automatic microgravity experiments such as those using seeds, cells, and small animals.

Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR): Today crewmembers performed a Manifold #2 high percentage O2 Bottle and Gas Chromatograph (CG) bottle changeout on the front Optics Bench. The CIR includes an optics bench, combustion chamber, fuel and oxidizer control, and five different cameras for performing combustion experiments in microgravity.

Marrow: Today a crewmember performed the MARROW breath and Ambient air setup for tomorrow morning's sample collection and took documentary photos. Marrow looks at the effect of microgravity on bone marrow. It is believed that microgravity, like long-duration bed rest on Earth, has a negative effect on the bone marrow and blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow.

ISS HAM: Today a crewmember swapped out the Columbus ISS HAM packet module with a new unit that arrived on 71P. A crewmember also executed a HAM pass with Colégio Campo de Flores, Almada, Portugal. International Space Station Ham Radio (ISS Ham Radio) provides opportunities to engage and educate students, teachers, parents and other members of the community in science, technology, engineering and math by providing a means to communicate between astronauts and the ground HAM radio units.

Marrow: This morning a crewmember collected Breath and Ambient air samples for the Marrow study. Marrow looks at the effect of microgravity on bone marrow. It is believed that microgravity, like long-duration bed rest on Earth, has a negative effect on the bone marrow and the blood cells that are produced in the bone marrow.

Fluid Dynamics in Space (FLUIDICS): Today a crewmember installed the Fluidics hardware and initiated the session 5 autonomous science run. The measurement of liquid displacement within a sphere in microgravity relates to a given kinematic representation of a spacecraft's fuel tank. The FLUIDICS investigation evaluates the Center of Mass (CoM) position regarding a temperature gradient on a representation of a fuel tank. The observation of capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid layer in a low-gravity environment can provide insights into measuring the existing volume in a sphere.

Lab Utility Outlet Panel (UOP)-4 Cable Reconfiguration: The crew worked to transfer loads from Lab UOP4 J4 to J3 connections and installed a 120 Volts Direct Current (VDC) Power / Ethernet Cable and Cobalt Brick on J4. This allows for a network connection through Ethernet on UOP4 J4 and enables troubleshooting of Payloads Joint Station LAN data with the ZBook Network Management System Laptop.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS): On Monday evening, robotics ground controllers powered up the MSS and maneuvered the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to grapple the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) located on the U.S. Lab Payload and Data Grapple Fixture (PDGF). Once the SPDM was grappled by the SSRMS, the SPDM was commanded to release the Lab PDGF and it was maneuvered to the Mobile Base System (MBS) and wh ere it was commanded to grapple the MBS PDGF1. Now that the SPDM is located on MBS PDGF1, it is in a good configuration for the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) survey this evening.

February 5, 2019
The Expedition 58 crew participated in a suite of psychological, biomedical and physics experiments today. The orbital residents are also getting ready to send off a U.S. cargo craft on Friday.

Astronauts Anne McClain and David Saint-Jacques collaborated today on an experiment that observes how living in a spacecraft for long periods impacts crew behavior. The duo typed personal impressions about working in space in a private journal then took a robotics test to measure cognition. The astronauts also answered a questionnaire to gather more cognitive data before going to sleep.

McClain also collected and stored biological samples for a pair of human research studies looking at physiological changes and negative effects on bone marrow and blood cells. Saint-Jacques looked at how fluid mechanics affects fuel tanks in spaceships and ocean systems on Earth.

Commander Oleg Kononenko focused his day inside the station's Russian segment. The veteran cosmonaut worked on computers, maintained life support systems and photographed Earth landmarks today.

Friday at 11:10 a.m. EST, Northrop Grumman's Cygnus space freighter will depart the station after 81 days attached to the Unity module. Robotics controllers will remotely guide the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple Cygnus overnight. McClain will then command the Canadarm2 on Friday to release Cygnus back in to Earth orbit as Saint-Jacques backs her up and monitors the activities.

Cygnus has more to do after its release. It will begin to deploy several sets of CubeSats after it reaches a safe distance from the space station. The U.S. resupply ship will then reenter Earth's atmosphere in late February over a remote portion of the Pacific Ocean for a fiery but safe destruction.

Astronaut Anne McClain of NASA peers in to a microscope and takes photographs for the Protein Crystal Growth-16 experiment that is exploring therapies for Parkinson's disease.
The astronauts onboard the International Space Station continued exploring today how living in space affects their minds and bodies. The Expedition 58 crew also researched fluid physics and prepared a resupply ship for its departure.

Anne McClain of NASA collected blood and urine samples this morning for the Repository physiology study. She spun the samples in a centrifuge then stowed them in a science freezer. She later took a cognition test in support of the Lighting Effects experiment that seeks to improve health and wellness.

Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques along with McClain answered a pair of questionnaires in support of the Standard Measures and Behavioral Core Measures psychology studies. He also wrapped up a physics study observing the mechanics of fluids in hardware that represents a spacecraft fuel tank.

McClain will be in the cupola Friday at 11:10 a.m. EST and release the U.S. Cygnus resupply ship from the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Saint-Jacques will back her up Friday and monitor the cargo vessel's departure. The duo is finalizing packing, will install a small satellite deployer in Cygnus then close the hatches on Thursday.

Over in the station's Russian segment, Commander Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos worked on power supply and battery maintenance in the Zarya module. The long-serving cosmonaut also researched crew psychology and studied radiation exposure.

У РИА в статьи о космосе https://ria.ru/science/ https://ria.ru/space/ не попало, как-то отдельно пустили

https://ria.ru/20190207/1550562461.html

МОСКВА, 7 фев - РИА Новости. Новый туалет планируется доставить на американский сегмент МКС через год, сообщило НАСА.

На сайте НАСА отмечается, что новая система будет привезена на станцию в начале 2020 года и установлена в модуле Tranquility американского сегмента. При этом НАСА не уточнило, в какой стране будет изготовлен новый туалет.

В настоящее время на МКС находятся два туалета российского производства. Изначально санузел был только в российском модуле "Звезда". В 2007 году НАСА заказало у России туалет для модуля Tranquility в связи с тем, что длительное время не могло разработать собственный аналог. За санузел НАСА заплатило 19 миллионов долларов. В 2017 году НАСА заказало у российской Ракетно-космической корпорации "Энергия" техническое обслуживание и замену ряда элементов туалета. Еще один туалет российского производства планируется установить в новом модуле "Наука", запуск которого предполагается в 2020 году.

Ранее источник РИА Новости в российской ракетно-космической отрасли сообщил, что 1 февраля на МКС при отсоединении астронавтами магистрали подачи воды в туалет в модуль Tranquility вылилось более 10 литров жидкости, которую экипажу пришлось убирать всеми имеющимися на станции полотенцами. Эту информацию позднее подтвердило НАСА.
