ISS Daily Summary Report – 3/13/2019

Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) Manifold Bottle Replacement:

Спойлер

The crew removed a 50% ethylene fuel bottle and replaced it with a 100% ethylene bottle. They also installed a 100% helium bottle. This is in support of the ongoing BRE (Burning Rate Emulator) experiment, which is part of the ACME (Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments) suite of experiments. The BRE experiment runs are focused on spacecraft fire prevention. More specifically, BRE's objective is to improve our fundamental understanding of materials flammability and to assess the relevance of existing flammability test methods for low and partial-gravity environments.

Circadian Rhythms:

Спойлер

In conclusion of the current experiment run, the crew member removed the Double Sensors and Thermolab Unit, cleaned the Double Sensors and stowed the equipment. This completed the 4th session for this crewmember. 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.

Express Rack (ER)-1 Upgrade:

Спойлер

The crew replaced the Payload Ethernet Hub Gateway (PEHG) within ER-1 in the Lab and replaced it with a new Improved Payload Ethernet Hub Gateway (iPEHG). This upgrade is part of an ongoing effort to replace PEHG within Payload Racks with iPEHG. The new iPEHG provides 100 Mbps ethernet services, digital video enabled over ethernet, and increased High Rate Data Link (HRDL) fiber optic bandwidth. While the rack was rotated, the crew also took the opportunity to remove the UBNT (Ultrasound Background Noise Test) hardware from this area. The UBNT experiment was completed some time ago, and a rack rotation is required to access much of the hardware.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 3/14/2019

58 Soyuz (58S) Launch and Docking:

Спойлер

The 58S Soyuz launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome this afternoon at 2:14 PM CT and completed a nominal 4 orbit rendezvous and docking to the ISS MRM1 Port at 8:01 PM CT. The 58S crew Aleksey Ovchinin, Nick Hague, and Christina Koch returned ISS to 6-crew operations after hatch opening at 10:09 PM CT. This evening, the entire ISS crew will conduct a Safety Briefing to familiarize the new Soyuz crew with potential hazards and available safety measures on-board ISS. Each crewmember will practice their emergency egress routes and familiarize themselves with emergency equipment locations.

ISS Experience Node 1 Setup:

Спойлер

The crew set up Space Station Computer (SSC) 25 and the ISS Experience Z-Cam in order to capture a recording session. The 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 Virtual Reality (VR) 360-degree camera with nine 190° fisheye lenses.

[свернуть]

Time Perception:

Спойлер

Using a head-mounted Oculus Rift display, headphones, finger trackball and laptop computer, the crew performed the Time Perception science sessions. A program on the laptop induces visual and audio stimuli to measure a subject's response to spatial and time perception in a microgravity environment. The accurate perception of objects in the environment is a prerequisite for spatial orientation and reliable performance of motor tasks. Time is fundamental to motion perception, sound localization, speech, and fine motor coordination.

[свернуть]

Common Video Interface Unit (CVIU)-8 Replacement:

Спойлер

In January, the Remote Power Controller (RPC) for CVIU-8 tripped open. After several troubleshooting efforts by crew and ground teams, the problem was isolated to CVIU-8. Today, the crew replaced CVIU-8 with a new unit. Flight Controllers then successfully activated the CVIU. CVIUs provide an interface between camcorders and the ISS Video System fiber-optic lines. In addition to video signal conversion, the CVIU also supplies electrical power to the camcorders.

New Trio Gets Used to Station Life before First of Three Spacewalks

Mark Garcia
Posted Mar 18, 2019 at 11:19 am


The Soyuz MS-12 spacecraft that launched three new Expedition 59-60 crew members to the International Space Station is pictured docked to the Rassvet module. Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin from Roscosmos commanded the Soyuz crew ship flanked by NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Christina Koch during the five-hour, 47-minute trip that began at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The Expedition 59 crew is getting ready for the first of three spacewalks just days after the arrival of three new crew members to the International Space Station last week. All six crewmates also reviewed emergency procedures today while the new trio becomes accustomed to life on the orbital lab.

NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nick Hague will exit the space station Friday for a six-hour spacewalk beginning at 8:05 a.m. EDT live on NASA TV. The duo will continue the ongoing work to upgrade the station's power storage capacity. McClain and Hague will replace older nickel-hydrogen batteries with new lithium-ion batteries and install new adapter plates on the space lab's Port-4 truss structure.

The crew will be readying spacesuits and tools and reviewing spacewalk procedures all week long. This morning, Hague joined Flight Engineers David Saint-Jacques and Christina Koch and sized U.S. spacesuits in the Quest airlock. McClain verified the functionality of the spacesuit SAFER jet packs, also known as Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue.

At the end of the day, all six crew members gathered together to coordinate their actions in the unlikely event of an emergency aboard the station. The crew reviewed escape paths to their Soyuz lifeboats and safe havens for access to safety gear and a breathable atmosphere.

In the midst of the spacewalk preparations and the safety training, the three new flight engineers are also familiarizing themselves with station systems. Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin is beginning his second mission aboard the orbital lab since March 2016. Hague and Koch, both members of NASA's 2013 class of astronauts, are each on their first mission aboard the space station.

The International Space Station gets a "reboost" to adjust its orbit

Canadian Space Agency

Опубликовано: 18 мар. 2019 г.

2019-03-18 - Every month the ISS gets a "reboost" to adjust its orbit. That makes the Station accelerate for a few minutes. If astronauts float free in the middle of the module without touching anything during that time, they slowly drift back as the ISS overtakes them. (Credits: Canadian Space Agency, NASA)

#НовостиИзНевесомости от космонавта Олега Кононенко 

Экипажи МКС, уже находясь на станции, должны ознакомиться со всем аварийным оборудованием, которое имеется на борту. Космонавты и астронавты как минимум один раз за экспедицию проходят тренировку по использованию аварийной маски. 

Ее цель – отработка надевания, продувки и ведения связи в маске на случай возникновения аварийной ситуации (например, выброс токсических веществ в атмосферу МКС или же при возникновении пожара). Данная маска обеспечивает защиту органов дыхания.

Для каждой аварийной ситуации используются определенные картриджи разного цвета. К примеру, розовые используются при утечке аммиака, а оранжевые — уже после пожара.

В РАН тестируют центрифугу для создания искусственной гравитации на МКС
12:32

МОСКВА, 19 мар - РИА Новости. Специалисты Института медико-биологических проблем (ИМБП) РАН тестируют центрифугу короткого радиуса для создания искусственной гравитации на Международной космической станции, сообщил РИА Новости директор Института Олег Орлов.

"Мы готовимся, работаем с методикой, проводим наземные эксперименты", - сказал Орлов.

Он напомнил, что центрифуга разрабатывается совместно с Ракетно-космической корпорацией (РКК) "Энергия" в рамках проекта "Трансформируемый модуль". По замыслу проекта, центрифуга будет выводиться на орбиту уже в составе модуля. Тем не менее, в программу полета МКС запуск такого модуля пока не включен.

В конце 2016 года глава ИМБП уже говорил, что на базе института разработали центрифугу малого радиуса для создания искусственной гравитации на разрабатываемом РКК "Энергия" трансформируемом космическом модуле. При этом экс-глава РКК "Энергия" Владимир Солнцев заявлял, что такой модуль удастся создать и ввести в состав МКС при наличии должного финансирования — 6-7 миллиардов рублей, ориентировочно в 2021–2022 году.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 3/18/2019

Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) Fuel Oxidizer Management Assembly (FOMA):

Спойлер

The crew performed the FOMA calibration preparatory activities which consisted of closing and opening the appropriate valves on manifold bottles and the GIP (gas interface panel). The FOMA calibration is a periodic activity required to support CIR science operations. CIR provides sustained, systematic microgravity combustion research and it houses hardware capable of performing combustion experiments to further research of combustion in microgravity.

ISS Experience Hardware Stow:

Спойлер

At the end of last week and over the weekend, the crew set up the ISS Experience hardware to observe 58 Soyuz arrival and to record a crewmember's log. The hardware was then torn down and stowed. The ISS Experience creates a virtual reality film documenting daily life aboard the ISS. The ground team will create 8 to 10 minute videos from footage taken during the six-month investigation covering 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 Virtual Reality (VR) 360-degree camera with nine 190° fisheye lenses.

Veg-03H:

Спойлер

The crew performed plant thinning and pillow priming over the weekend. The plant thinning activity removed all but one plant from each pillow, leaving the largest seedling in each plant pillow to continue growing. In order to ensure successful germination of at least one seed, the ground planted 3 seeds in each of the plant pillows. The plant pillow prime activity adds water to support continued hydration of the plants. The plant pillows in the Veg-03H investigation contain Wasabi Mustard Green and Extra Dwarf Pok Choi seeds. Organisms grow differently in space, from single-celled bacteria to plants and humans but future long-duration space missions will require crew members to grow their own food, so understanding how plants respond to microgravity is an important step toward that goal. Veg-03H uses the Veggie plant growth facility to cultivate Extra Dwarf Pak Choi and Wasabi mustard which are harvested on-orbit.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Ops:

Спойлер

On Saturday, Robotics Ground Controllers commanded the Mobile Transporter (MT) to translate from Worksite (WS) 3 to WS 6. They powered up MSS, maneuvered the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to stow the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) on the Mobile Base System (MBS) Payload and Data Grapple Fixture (PDGF) #2. After releasing SPDM PDGF, Controllers maneuvered the SSRMS to walk off onto the MBS PDGF 4. After releasing Node 2 PDGF, SSRMS was maneuvered to unstow SPDM from MBS PDF2 and the whole MSS was then configured for translation. The MT was translated from WS6 to WS7 and SSRMS and SPDM were positioned at the start of the Battery R&R operations. Finally, the SPDM Enhanced On-Orbit Replaceable Unit (ORU) Temporary Platform (EOTP) was rotated. These activities were to set up for US EVA #52 scheduled for this Friday, March 22.

Mark Garcia
Posted Mar 19, 2019 at 10:46 am


NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Anne McClain and Christina Koch (right) work on U.S. spacesuit maintenance in the Quest airlock of the International Space Station.

The Expedition 59 crew continued gearing up for Friday's spacewalk amid a variety of human research activities today. Meanwhile, the three newest International Space Station crewmembers found time to get up to speed on lab systems and life in space.

Friday's spacewalkers will be NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nick Hague. The duo started the day getting tools ready and using 3-D computer software to review spacewalk procedures and robotics maneuvers. Flight Engineers David Saint-Jacques and Christina Koch joined McClain and Hague at the end of the day for an hour-long conference with spacewalk experts in Mission Control.

The spacewalkers will work for about six hours on the Port-4 truss structure swapping batteries and installing adapter plates. Friday's spacewalk to upgrade the station's power storage capacity begins at 8:05 a.m. EDT. NASA TV's live spacewalk coverage begins at 6:30 a.m.

Life science continued full-speed ahead today despite the spacewalk preparations and a new crew getting used to microgravity. Hague, Koch and Saint-Jacques drew their blood samples throughout Tuesday and stowed them in science freezers for later analysis.

Koch also spent a couple of hours in the Columbus lab module on the Vection study exploring how microgravity affects her perception. Saint-Jacques prepared Marrow experiment gear for return on an upcoming SpaceX Dragon cargo mission.

Flight Engineers Alexey Ovchinin, Hague and Koch spent each about an hour familiarizing themselves with station facilities today. The new trio will orbit Earth for at least six-and-a-half months.
