Астронавты Морган и Пармитано завершили первый этап работ по ремонту спектрометра на МКС
В NASA сообщили, что они работали настолько активно, что выполнили часть работ, запланированных на следующий выход в космос 22 ноября

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 15 ноября. /ТАСС/. Американский и итальянский астронавты Эндрю Морган и Лука Пармитано успешно завершили в пятницу первый этап работ по ремонту важного научного прибора на корпусе Международной космической станции (МКС) - магнитного альфа-спектрометра. Трансляция с МКС шла на сайте Национального управления США по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (NASA).

В 13:09 по времени восточного побережья США (21:09 мск) Морган и Пармитано закрыли люк шлюза "Куэст". За шесть часов работы в открытом космосе они сняли кожух противометеоритной защиты с прибора и сбросили его с МКС, затем демонтировали часть теплозащитного покрытия и убрали вертикальную стойку, мешавшую доступу к восьми трубкам системы охлаждения спектрометра. Астронавты работали настолько активно, что выполнили часть работ, запланированных на следующий выход в космос 22 ноября.

To add, these EVA tasks have never been undertaken before. Rob Navias said they are the most complex spacewalks since STS-125 (Hubble Servicing). AMS-02 was never designed for on orbit repair.

First EVA: They complete all tasks and a chunk of the second planned EVA.

Amazing!

Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) attached to the Canadarm during the first Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer repair spacewalk on Nov. 15, 2019

Expedition 61 Commander Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan concluded their spacewalk at 1:18 p.m. EST. During the six-and-a-half hour spacewalk, the two NASA astronauts successfully positioned materials, removed a debris cover on the AMS, and installed handrails in preparation for the subsequent spacewalks.

The duo also completed a number of get-ahead tasks originally planned for the second spacewalk, including the removal of the vertical support beam cover for the area that houses the eight stainless steel tubes that will be cut and spliced together on the upcoming spacewalks.

Today's work clears the way for Parmitano and Morgan's next spacewalk in the repair series Friday Nov. 22. The main focus of the second spacewalk will be the access, cut, and label the stainless steel tubes that attach the current cooling system to the AMS. The plan is to bypass the old thermal control system, attach a new one off the side of AMS during the third spacewalk, and then conduct leak checks.

In addition to the overall complexity of the instrument, astronauts have never before cut and reconnected fluid lines, like those that are part of the AMS thermal control system, during a spacewalk. To cut the cooling lines and complete other tasks in this series of spacewalks, scientists, engineers and astronauts on Earth have gone through several iterations of designing, prototyping, experimenting and validating many specialized tools in preparation for the complex work in space.

Space station crew members have conducted 222 spacewalks in support of assembly and maintenance of the orbiting laboratory. Spacewalkers have now spent a total of 58 days 3 hours and 8 minutes working outside the station. Parmitano has now conducted three spacewalks in his career and Morgan has now logged four spacewalks since his arrival on the station in July.

Астронавты НАСА в 2020 году запланировали шесть выходов в космос
16:13 15.11.2019

МОСКВА, 15 ноя - РИА Новости. НАСА планирует шесть выходов в открытый космос с борта Международной космической станции по американской программе в 2020 году, говорится в отчете главного инспектора НАСА Пола Мартина, опубликованном на сайте ведомства.

"Сейчас планом НАСА по обслуживанию станции предусмотрено шесть выходов в открытый космос в 2020 году для замены старых батарей на новые литий-ионные батареи", - говорится в отчете.

Отмечается, что по правилам безопасности астронавты не могут работать за бортом станции в одиночку. В случае, если из-за неготовности новых американских кораблей НАСА придется сократить количество членов экипажа американского сегмента МКС с трех до одного человека, помощь в работе в открытом космосе могут оказать российские космонавты.

Однако, как говорится в отчете, это все равно будет сопряжено с риском для станции, так как всего один человек останется внутри МКС.

Ранее в Центре подготовки космонавтов (ЦПК) имени Гагарина рассказывали РИА Новости, что российские космонавты Николай Тихонов и Анатолий Иванишин прошли подготовку к выходу в открытый космос по американской программе. Последний раз российский космонавт работал в американском скафандре EMU в 2007 году, это был Юрий Маленченко.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 11/13/2019

Veg-04B:

The crew performed a harvest for consumption and filled out the taste survey. The Pick-and-Eat Salad-Crop Productivity, Nutritional Value, and Acceptability to Supplement the ISS Food System (Veg-0404A, Veg-04B, and Veg-05) investigation is a phased research project to address the need for a continuous fresh-food production system in space. A healthy, nutritious diet is essential for long-duration exploration missions, which means that the typical pre-packaged astronaut diet needs to be supplemented by fresh foods during flight; the Veggie Vegetable Production System (Veggie) has begun testing aboard the space station to help meet this need, and validation tests have demonstrated that leafy greens can be grown in spaceflight. The research of Veg-04B focuses on the impact of light quality and fertilizer on leafy crop growth for a 56-day grow-out, microbial food safety, nutritional value, taste acceptability by the crew, and the overall behavioral health benefits of having plants and fresh food in space.

MISSE-FF (Materials ISS Experiment Flight Facility):

The crew performed a retraction of the JEM Airlock table and removed the MISSE-MSCs (Material Sample Carriers) fr om the MISSE Transfer Tray. The MSCs were packed for return. The JEM-EF is a unique platform on the ISS that is located outside of the Japanese Experiment module (JEM), Kibo (Hope) and is continuously exposed to the space environment. Astronauts exchange payloads/payload facilities from the Kibo through the scientific airlock using the Kibo Remote Manipulator System. Payloads/payload facilities positioned on the exterior platform focus on Earth observation, as well as, communication, scientific, engineering and materials science experiments.

NutrISS (Nutrition Monitoring for the International Space Station):

The crew performed measurements on the skin as part of the NUTRISS study. The questionnaire was also completed. Long-duration spaceflight induces relevant changes in body composition and a loss of body mass. In the NutrISS investigation, a periodic assessment of body composition (body weight, fat mass, and fat-free mass) during spaceflight aboard the ISS is carried out using a dedicated bio-impedance analysis device to allow for the measurement of long-term energy balance modification over time. It is hypothesized that an adjusted diet maintaining a near-neutral energy balance, and/or increasing protein, intake can lim it microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss.

PK-4 (Plasma Krystall-4):

The crew performed the third set of runs for Commissioning #8 operations involving particle cloud trappings inside the PK-4 Chamber. PK-4 is a scientific collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), performing research in the field of "Complex Plasmas": low temperature gaseous mixtures composed of ionized gas, neutral gas, and micron-sized particles. The micro-particles become highly charged in the plasma and interact strongly with each other, which can lead to a self-organized structure of the micro-particles: so-called plasma crystals. Experiments in the facility aim to study Transport Properties, Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Statistical Physics, and Non-linear waves and Instabilities in the plasmas.

Ring Sheared Drop:

The crew removed the existing syringe and test cell and swapped it with a new syringe and test cell in preparation for the next experiment run. The Ring Sheared Drop investigation uses microgravity to examine the formation and flow of amyloids in the absence of surface tension and other complications created by the solid walls of a container. Fibrous, extracellular protein deposits found in organs and tissues, amyloids are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Results could contribute to better understanding of these diseases as well as to development of advanced materials.

Space Biofilms:

The crew terminated the Group Activation Packs (GAPs) and then placed the GAPs into cold stowage as part of Ops Session 3. The Characterization of Biofilm Formation, Growth, and Gene Expression on Different Materials and Environmental Conditions in Microgravity (Space Biofilms) investigation characterizes the mass, thickness, structure, and associated gene expression of biofilms that form in space by analyzing different microbial species grown on different materials. Biofilm formation can cause equipment malfunction and human illnesses, and could be a serious problem on future long-term human space missions.

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) Extravehicular Activity (EVA):

Today, the ISS crew continued their preparation for AMS EVA #1 by completing On board Training (OBT) Robotics training. The training supports the upcoming EVA to replace the Tracker Thermal Control System (TTCS) with an Upgraded Tracker Thermal Control System (UTTPS). Over time, the TTCS cooling pumps have slowly degraded and have experienced a loss of coolant (liquid CO2). The UTTPS will allow the AMS team to continue to collect data to on anti-helium nuclei and dark matter. AMS-02 is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector that uses the unique environment of space to advance knowledge of the universe and lead to the understanding of the universe's origin by searching for antimatter, dark matter and measuring cosmic rays.

Functional Cargo Block [sic] (FGB) Acoustic Monitor Survey Part 3:

This FGB acoustic monitor survey will be used to assess the acoustic properties of the newly installed low-noise FGB Dust Collectors. Today, MCC Moscow (MCC-M) deactivated the FGB air circulation fans ЦВ1 & 2 and the Thermal Control System (TCS) Heat Exchanger fans 2, 3, and 5. Once the FGB air circulation fans were configured for the acoustic monitoring, the crew took a final set of measurements for the new FGB Dust Collectors. Following the measurements, MCC-M returned the FGB air circulation systems to a nominal configuration.

Node 3 (N3) Intermodule Ventilation (IMV) Cleaning:

Today, the crew cleaned the Node 3 Aft Port IMV fan inlet flow straighteners, inlet silencer and outlet silencer. This task required the crew to remove the NOD3A1-02 closeout panel to gain access to the Node 3 Aft Port IMV Fan and Silencer. Once accessed, the crew used a vacuum to remove dust and debris from the IMV Fan Inlet Flow Straighteners and the IMV Grille. Once complete the crew re-installed the closeout panel and the ground team performed a nominal re-activation of the IMV.
