ISS Daily Summary Report - 5/24/2019

JAXA Mouse Mission:

 Скрытый текст:

Today the crew performed Mouse blood draws for the Mouse Mission experiment. The purpose of this mission is to analyze any alterations of the gene expression patterns in several organs and the effects on the germ-cell development of mice exposed to a long-term space environment.

Bio-Analyzer Commissioning:

 Скрытый текст:

The crew mixed raw finger blood with Microvial reagents and placed the sample into the Bio-Analyzer for analysis. Although the ISS is equipped with health and life sciences research tools, existing instrumentation for the analysis of biological samples is almost completely lacking as compared to capabilities found in laboratories on Earth. To tackle this issue, the Bio-Analyzer Commissioning activity tests the Bio-Analyzer facility which was specifically developed to quantify molecules and cells in body fluids such as blood, urine or saliva. The analysis is conducted on blood samples collected through a finger prick and the instrument provides the data within 2 hours after blood collection.

Multi-purpose Variable-G Platform Cell-01 (MVP Cell-01):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew removed and exchanged nutrients for the Cell-01 experiment modules and reinserted the modules back into the MVP. The Cartilage-Bone-Synovium (CBS) Micro-Physiological System (MPS) using the MVP Cell-01 aboard the ISS studies the effects of spaceflight on musculoskeletal disease biology. Motivated by a disease called Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis, in which a traumatic joint injury may lead to arthritis after loss of cartilage and bone, the ability of potential drugs to prevent the progression of this disease is tested on Earth and in space.

Fiber Optic Production (FOP):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew performed a preformed fiber and spool change to initiate runs. The Fiber Optic Production investigation creates optical fibers with high commercial value aboard the ISS using a blend of zirconium, barium, lanthanum, sodium, and aluminum called ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF). It operates within the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG). Extensive theoretical studies along with a limited number of experimental studies suggest that ZBLAN optical fibers produced in microgravity should exhibit far superior qualities to those produced on Earth. The resulting optical fiber from Fiber Optic Production is expected to help verify these studies and guide further engineering efforts to manufacture high value optical fiber in large volume aboard the ISS.

Sextant Navigation for Exploration Missions (Sextant Navigation):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew performed checkout and the second session of operations of the Sextant Navigation hardware based upon sel ected observation targets during orbital night. The investigation focuses on stability and star sighting opportunities in microgravity. Astronauts on board the ISS tests a hand-held sextant that is intended for use on future Orion exploration missions. The results fr om this investigation can aid in the development of emergency navigation methods for future manned spacecraft.

EXHAM (Exposed Experiment Handrail Attachment Mechanism):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew repressed the JEM airlock and swapped out samples in the Handheld Experiment Platform-2 with new samples on the JEM A/L slide table. Taking advantage of Kibo's unique function of having both an airlock and a robotic arm among modules on the ISS, the ExHAM facility enables space experiments to be performed in the exposed space environment, by attachment to the Japanese Experiment Module Kibo's Exposed Facility (EF).

Centerline Berthing Camera System (CBCS) Troubleshooting (T/S):

 Скрытый текст:

In April, CBCS String 1 failed the NG-11 pre-flight system checkout. When video was routed, only a black screen was visible on the ground. After troubleshooting, the ground team instructed the crew to remove String-1 and install String-3, which successfully completed its checkout and provided good video to the ground. Today, the ground and crew started an activity to isolate the root cause, however, CBCS String-1 powered up nominally and provided video to the ground. No further troubleshooting was performed and String-1 is considered nominal.

ISS Daily Summary Report - 5/28/2019

JAXA Mouse Mission:

 Скрытый текст:

The crew prepared the spare transportation cage for Mouse mission operations. The purpose of this mission is to analyze any alterations of the gene expression patterns in several organs and the effects on the germ-cell development of mice exposed to a long-term space environment.

Bio-Monitor:

 Скрытый текст:

A crewmember doffed and stowed the Bio-Monitor garment and headband and donned the spare set. Although the ISS is equipped with health and life sciences research tools, the existing instrumentation for continuous and simultaneous recording of several physiological parameters is lacking. To tackle this issue, the Bio-Monitor Commissioning activity tests the Bio-Monitor facility; a wearable garment capable of monitoring relevant physiological parameters for up to 48 hours in a non-invasive and non-interfering way. The physiological parameters which can be monitored consist of heart rate, respiration rate, ECG (Electrocardiogram), skin temperature, peripheral blood oxygen saturation, etc.

CASIS PCG 14 (Wisconsin Crystal Growing Contest-Wisconsin Space Crystals):

 Скрытый текст:

The crew disassembled the two PCG-14 sample jars to photograph developing crystal growth on the membrane interface. Previous investigations have shown that crystals grow larger and with fewer imperfections in microgravity. The CASIS PCG 14 investigation has two goals: to explore closed-system crystallization of inorganic salts from aqueous solutions using evaporation facilitated by a desiccant, and to examine how well a previously optimized thermal-gradient inorganic salt crystallization procedure translates to other systems. Middle and high school students compete to grow the most perfect ground-based crystals, as judged by experts in crystallography, and those with the fewest imperfections then fly their experiments aboard the space station.

Water Storage System (WSS) Cable Routing:

 Скрытый текст:

Today the crew routed power and data cables between the LAB1D1 to LAB1D4 locations completing the second, and final, day of WSS cable installation activities. Once installed, the WSS will add new capabilities to the existing Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) Water Recovery and Management System (WRM) by providing additional iodinated water storage, approximately 75 liters, and new methods of transporting water in the potable water bus.

MSS Application Computer Unit (MACU) Power Cable Install:

 Скрытый текст:

In order to provide new capabilities to the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Robotics Workstation (RWS), the crew installed a new power cable today at the LAB1P5 rack. This cable, which re-routes power supplied by LAP51A4A_A RPC 01, supports the conversion of the AVU-1 (Artificial Vision Unit) to the new MACU-1 (MSS Application Computer Unit). While the crew was working in this area, they also removed unused Ultrasound Background Noise Test (UBNT) hardware from behind the RWS for disposal.

SpaceX-17 Cargo Operations:

 Скрытый текст:

After today's operations, the crew has completed approximately 50 hours of cargo loading with 19 hours remaining to be completed.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Operations:

 Скрытый текст:

Robotics Ground Controllers powered up the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and performed Latching End Effector (LEE) Checkouts and SSRMS Joint Diagnostics on both Strings in preparation for Space-X 17 unberth on June 3. Additionally, controllers powered up the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) and are currently performing SPDM Direct Drive Tests of both SPDM Arms. Assuming all of today's tests are satisfactory, controllers will end today's operations by grappling the SpX-17 Dragon vehicle.

Public Affairs Office (PAO) Live Event:

 Скрытый текст:

Nick Hague and Christina Koch participated in a live PAO event with the Washington Post which will be used in an Apollo 11 anniversary special section to be published in the Washington Post in the next few weeks. Using interviews from 50 astronauts, their goal is to provide readers with a sense of what being in space is really like.

Posted May 28, 2019 at 12:21 pm


Expedition 59 Flight Engineers Christina Koch of NASA and Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos ready a pair of Russian Orlan spacesuits inside the Pirs docking compartment's airlock.

Two Expedition 59 cosmonauts are finalizing reviews before Wednesday morning's spacewalk for maintenance outside the International Space Station. Meanwhile, the orbital residents are also readying completed experiments for return to Earth inside the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft next week.

Commander Oleg Kononenko is set to begin his fifth career spacewalk Wednesday at 11:44 a.m. EDT. He will lead first-time spacewalker Alexey Ovchinin during the six-hour-15-minute excursion on the Russian segment of the orbital lab. They will retrieve experiment hardware, clean lab windows and jettison old cables among other tasks.

The duo reviewed their spacewalk tasks and worksites alongside NASA astronaut Christina Koch this morning. Koch will assist the pair with their Russian Orlan spacesuits in the Pirs airlock before and after Wednesday's spacewalk.

The SpaceX Dragon launched a multitude of life science experiments studying immunology, crystallography, microphysiology and other space phenomena to the station May 4. The completed research samples and science hardware will now return to Earth inside Dragon after it departs the station's Harmony module June 3. NASA Flight Engineer Anne McClain is readying the commercial space freighter for departure and beginning the work to pack the finalized experiments for analysis in labs across the globe.

Astronauts Nick Hague and David Saint-Jacques spent Tuesday maintaining station systems and hardware. Hague first measured airflow in the Japan's Kibo laboratory module before routing power cables in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module. Saint-Jacques reconfigured a robotics computer and routed communication cables then checked components on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device.
