ISS Daily Summary Report - 7/17/2019

Saibo Experiment Rack Clean Bench (CB) Checkout:

 :

The crew completed the yearly relief valve check of the CB in the JAXA Saibo Rack. Saibo includes a Clean Bench glovebox with microscope that isolates the organisms being studied, and Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) that includes incubator and centrifuges.

Hermes Facility:

 :

The crew installed the HERMES facility and Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) tri-axial sensor heads (TSH). Hermes is an experimental microgravity facility that enables science experiments, microgravity exposure testing, testing of engineering components, testing of CubeSats, concept trials, and any payloads that fit within the Hermes design and operations constraints. It is open to any investigation that benefits fr om microgravity exposure.

Combustion Integration Rack (CIR)/Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME) /Flame Design:

 :

The crew replaced the igniter tip which burned out this week to complete the final Flame Design runs. The investigation studies the production and control of soot to optimize oxygen-enriched combustion and the design of robust, soot-free flames. Soot can adversely affect efficiency, emissions, and equipment lifetime, so this may lead to more efficient and cleaner burner designs. The experiment is conducted with spherical flames of gaseous fuels in the CIR as part of the ACME project.

Photobioreactor (PBR):

 :

The crew performed troubleshooting for the Photobioreactor by powering up the unit from a different locker power port. Today the life support systems that sustain astronauts in space are based on physicochemical processes. The Photobioreactor investigation aims at demonstrating that microalgae (i.e. biological processes) can be used together with existing systems to improve recycling of resources, creating a hybrid life support system. This hybrid approach could be helpful in future long-duration exploration missions, as it could reduce the amount of consumables required from Earth, and will first be tested in space on the ISS.

Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) Laptop Relocation:

 :

The AMS laptop was located in Columbus Express Rack (ER)1 wh ere the Payload Ethernet Hub Gateway (PEHG) will be upgraded to an improved PEHG. The laptop must remain continuously powered to retain collected data. Today the crew relocated the laptop to Columbus ER3 which will provide continuous power.

Космонавты починят снаружи МКС систему охлаждения российского модуля
14:37

МОСКВА, 19 июл - РИА Новости. Российские космонавты Александр Скворцов и Олег Скрипочка 20 ноября во время выхода в открытый космос с борта Международной космической станции (МКС) выполнят ремонт системы терморегулирования российского модуля "Заря", сказал Скворцов в , размещенном в пятницу на YouTube-канале Космического центра "Южный" (филиал Центра эксплуатации объектов наземной космической инфраструктуры - предприятия "Роскосмоса").

Запуск пилотируемого корабля "Союз МС-13" ракетой-носителем "Союз-ФГ" с космодрома Байконур планируется на 20 июля в 19.28 мск. На нём на МКС полетят россиянин Александр Скворцов, итальянец Лука Пармитано и американец Эндрю Морган. Стыковка корабля "Союз МС-13" со станцией намечается на 21 июля в 1.51 мск.

"Основная задача - сменную панель системы терморегулирования ФГБ (функционально-грузовой блок "Заря" - ред.) нужно будет поменять. И дальше есть работы по демонтажу некоторого оборудования, которое будет производиться на служебном модуле ("Звезда" - ред.), некоторые работы на МИМ-2 (малый исследовательский модуль "Поиск" - ред.)", - сказал Скворцов.

 :

Скворцов и Пармитано проведут на МКС 201 день (до 6 февраля 2020 года), Морган - 256 дней (до 1 апреля 2020 года).

ISS Daily Summary Report - 7/18/2019

Multi-purpose Small Payload Rack (MSPR):

 :

The crew set up the MSPR Payload Control Box and completed configuration for the Florescence Microscope. 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.

Hermes Facility:

 :

The crew opened the vacuum valve and closed the circuit breakers to the SAMS Tri-axial Sensor Heads (TSH) in preparation for Hermes Operations. Hermes is an experimental microgravity facility that enables science experiments, microgravity exposure testing, testing of engineering components, testing of CubeSats, concept trials, and any payloads that fit within the Hermes design and operations constraints. It is open to any investigation that benefits from microgravity exposure.

Materials Science Laboratory (MSL):

 :

The crew replaced the motor valve and initiated a water loop check on the MSL facility. The MSL is used for basic materials research in the microgravity environment of the ISS. The MSL can accommodate and support diverse Experiment Modules. In this way, many material types, such as metals, alloys, polymers, semiconductors, ceramics, crystals, and glasses, can be studied to discover new applications for existing materials and new or improved materials.

SpX-18 Arrival Preparations:

 :

In preparation for the upcoming arrival of SpaceX-18 planned on July 23, the crew completed the following:

[/li]
• Commercial Orbital Transport Services (COTS) UHF Communication Unit (CUCU) Checkout: The crew coordinated with ground teams to activate the CUCU System and performed a Crew Command Panel (CCP) checkout. CUCU provides a command and telemetry communications link between ISS and Dragon during free flight operations near ISS.
  
• On-Board Training (OBT) Dragon Offset Grapple: The crew performed this OBT to practice grapple approaches during which the crew maneuvered over the pin to practice pulling the trigger once in the grapple envelope. Training points included how to best manage volumetric constraints in the Cupola, how lighting on the grapple fixture changes and how light varies inside the Cupola.
  

Thermal Amine Scrubber (TAS) Troubleshooting:

 :

Overnight, ground teams performed a blower test at different speeds to characterize the current profile following the high current faults that were experienced a day prior.  Teams will review the TAS data to determine a forward plan.

New Expedition 60 crewmembers (from left) Drew Morgan, Alexander Skvortsov and Luca Parmitano are outfitted in Sokol launch and entry suits for a fit check inside their Soyuz spacecraft.
Three new Expedition 60 crewmembers are just one day away from launching and joining the space residents aboard the International Space Station. Meanwhile, the orbiting trio worked on space biology hardware today while their crewmates on Earth completed final launch preparations in Kazakhstan.


Two different life science facilities onboard the station are being serviced today to support upcoming research into microgravity's effect on biological systems. NASA astronaut Nick Hague ensured the Cell Biology Experiment Facility is airtight to contain the high humidity necessary for the Space Moss botany study. NASA Flight Engineer Christina Koch set up power to the Life Science Glovebox for the Cell Science-02 healing and tissue regeneration experiment.


The duo handled a variety of other station tasks today, including Hague reconfiguring the Kibo laboratory module's robotic  arm backup drive system and testing new station lights. Koch loaded new software on a science laptop computer then replaced components in the station's restroom, the Waste and Hygiene Compartment.


Station Commander Alexey Ovchinin had a light duty day in space mostly cleaning station hardware in the Russian segment. In the evening, he joined both astronauts reviewing emergency procedures for the arrival of a new crew on Saturday.


NASA astronaut Drew Morgan is launching Saturday at 12:28 p.m. EDT inside the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft on his first space mission. He joins veteran station residents Luca Parmitano and Alexander Skvortsov for their historic mission lifting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They will dock to the space station's Zvezda service module at 6:50 p.m. 50 years to the day Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first walked on the Moon.
