Four Expedition 74 crew members are enjoying an off-duty day following a busy week of science prep, post-spacewalk closeout procedures, cargo operations, and more. Three other International Space Station residents set their sights on an array of maintenance tasks throughout the day.

NASA astronauts Chris Williams, Jessica Meir, and Jack Hathaway, along with European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sophie Adenot all had the day off on Friday. The quartet exercised and spent the day relaxing.

NASA continues to assess potential dates for U.S. spacewalk 95 outside the International Space Station as teams prepare for the installation of future roll-out solar arrays. The agency has been reviewing the standard spacesuit preparations and other procedures needed following U.S. spacewalk 94 along with other station activities including cargo, research, and maintenance activities

On March 18, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams successfully completed U.S. spacewalk 94, preparing the 2A power channel and performing additional tasks. This work will enable the future installation of roll-out solar arrays to provide additional power for the orbiting laboratory, supporting critical systems and its safe, controlled deorbit. NASA will share the updated date and time for spacewalk 95 once scheduling is finalized.

In the Roscosmos segment, space station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov removed and replaced an AC compressor. He then proceeded to take a health assessment that analyzes how a crew member works individually and with their teammates before conducting some maintenance on the treadmill.

Flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev worked in the Nauka module to replace stowage battery units and test video cameras the crew uses to document work and life aboard the orbital complex.

Flight engineer Sergei Mikaev reviewed the schedule for next week, organized and cleaned up files on station computers, and configured cameras and hardware crewmembers use to take photos of Earth. He ended his day on Progress 94 cargo operations, unloading food and supplies that were delivered earlier this week, and installed a payload that will assist with acquiring images of Earth in the visible and near-infrared ranges.

Science, supplies, and equipment are soon to be delivered to the International Space Station aboard a Northrop Grumman Cygnus XL spacecraft. NASA's Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission is targeted to lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida no earlier than Wednesday, April 8 at 8:49 a.m. EDT.

In addition to food, supplies, and equipment for the crew, Cygnus will deliver research to the space station, including a new module to advance quantum science that could improve computing technology and aid in the search for dark matter and hardware to produce a greater number of therapeutic stem cells for blood diseases and cancer. Cygnus also will carry model organisms to study the gut microbiome and a receiver that could enhance space weather models that protect critical space infrastructure, such as GPS and radar.

Crew Kicks Off Week with Cargo Mission Training and Spacewalk Cleanup

полный текст на английском

Expedition 74 started the week training for the arrival of the next U.S. cargo mission and continuing to clean up after last week's spacewalk. The orbital residents also practiced medical emergency procedures, unloaded supplies from a new Roscosmos resupply ship, and ensured the International Space Station remains in tip-top shape.
Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft is the next mission targeted to launch to the orbital outpost no earlier than Wednesday, April 8 at 8:49 a.m. EDT. NASA flight engineers Chris Williams and Jack Hathaway joined each other on Monday and reviewed the upcoming Cygnus XL mission, trained for its rendezvous procedures, and familiarized themselves with the equipment they will use to monitor Cygnus' arrival. Cygnus will be delivering advanced microgravity research gear to study quantum physics, test stem cell therapies, promote astronaut health, and more.
NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir spent Monday servicing a pair of spacesuits that she and Williams wore during a seven-hour and two-minute spacewalk on  March 18. She first cleaned and flushed the suit's water-cooling loops that regulate an astronaut's body temperature in the extreme environment of space. Next, she emptied and refilled the suit's water system to remove gas bubbles and contaminants keeping its life‑support system healthy and reliable.
Flight engineer Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) focused on a variety scientific experiments throughout Monday that explore different microgravity phenomena. Adenot first collected data and powered down hardware from an investigation that is studying ways to quickly download large amounts of data from space. Next, she swapped research samples inside a science freezer then inventoried and trashed used biomedical gear that examined the crew's cardiovascular health. Adenot finally recorded a video message for students on Earth describing why conducting science in space is important.
All four astronauts also joined Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev for a mid-afternoon emergency drill reviewing how to use and where to locate medical hardware. The five crewmates also practiced CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and discussed individual roles and responsibilities in the event of a medical situation in low Earth orbit.
Fedyaev began his shift replacing smoke detectors and gas masks inside the Nauka science module. The two-time station visitor wrapped up his duties in the orbital outpost's Roscosmos segment and checked the quality of drinking water.
Station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov serviced electrical components and checked the operation of the Elektron oxygen generator inside the Zvezda service module. Afterward, Kud-Sverchkov studied using artificial intelligence tools to improve crew operations and communications with mission controllers. Roscosmos flight engineer Sergei Mikaev spent his day offloading some of the three tons of food, fuel, and supplies packed inside the Progress 94 resupply ship that docked to the Poisk module on March 24.

Medical tests and microbiology topped the research schedule for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The seven crewmates also worked on spacesuits, cargo operations, and life support maintenance.

NASA flight engineer Chris Williams kicked off his shift drawing a blood sample from NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir for processing in a centrifuge and preservation in a science freezer for later analysis. Williams later collected, processed, and stowed his urine samples for the CIPHER study that measures and compares astronaut health before, during, and after a spaceflight. Doctors regularly analyze a crew member's biomedical samples collected throughout a mission constantly gaining insight into microgravity's effect on the human body.

Williams later joined Meir and NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway as they reorganized cargo packed inside the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module. The trio cleared air vents in Leonardo for proper airflow, trashed obsolete hardware, inventoried items, and photographed problem areas for inspection.

Hathway and Meir later partnered together and filled a liquid cooling and ventilation garment, a spacesuit's inner layer that regulates a spacewalker's temperature, with water. The duo also attached shoulder pads to the cooling garment and installed a spacesuit on a support stand inside the Quest airlock for future maintenance.

Flight engineer Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) began her shift working on cargo consolidation to optimize space inside the Columbus laboratory module. After lunch, Adenot inspected and cleaned the Tranquility module's ventilation system then checked the operation of the Exploration Potable Water Dispenser, a technology demonstration to advance water sanitization methods, reduce microbial growth, and dispense hot water into crew food and drink bags.

Station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and flight engineer Sergei Mikaev, both Roscosmos cosmonauts, joined each other and collected microbe samples in the Nauka, Zvezda, and Zarya modules. The samples will be analyzed to understand the orbital outpost's microbial environment and learn how to protect crew health and space station hardware.

Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev spent his shift primarily on orbital plumbing duties. Fedyaev first checked the functionality of water stowage tanks and inspected their hoses and connectors. Next, he purged residual fluids and gases inside water recycling hardware to ensure its continuing safe operation.
