Today, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti set up the Microgravity Science Glovebox and serviced components for the Intelligent Glass Optics space physics study. The container will be jettisoned outside Bishop towards EarthвЂ™s atmosphere for a fiery, but safe disposal on Saturday.

The trio prepared the airlock for its depressurization and closed its hatch in the Tranquility module after packing a trash container in Bishop on Wednesday. Hines also joined NASA Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren and Jessica Watkins configuring the NanoRacks Bishop airlock for its first trash disposal task this weekend. The investigation uses soilless techniques, such as hydroponics and aeroponics, to nourish and grow plants for producing crops on a larger scale for future space missions. NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines worked in the Columbus laboratory module on Thursday afternoon processing radish seeds germinating for the XROOTS space botany study. airlock and investigating how microgravity affects the human body. The four astronauts and three cosmonauts also split their day configuring a U.S. The Expedition 67 crew members tended to plants and explored artificial intelligence aboard the International Space Station today. The crew will then relax on Sunday and Monday enjoying a long Fourth of July weekend.Д®xpedition 67 crew members are pictured enjoying pizza during dinner time aboard the space station in May of 2022. Also on Saturday, the NanoRacks Bishop airlock will open up to the vacuum of space for the first time and jettison a trash container toward EarthвЂ™s atmosphere for a fiery, but safe disposal. Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov collected his blood and saliva samples for an experiment investigating how the immune system adapts to long-term spaceflight.ДЄll seven space station crew members will spend Saturday on housekeeping activities such as disinfecting surfaces, vacuuming dust, and clearing vents for better airflow. Flight Engineer Denis Matveev studied ways future crew members might pilot spacecraft and robots on planetary missions. In the Russian segment of the orbiting lab, Commander Oleg Artemyev had a hearing test then moved on and set up hardware to measure activity in the EarthвЂ™s upper atmosphere.

Cristoforetti also serviced combustion research hardware and installed new software to maintain operations and support ongoing science inside an EXPRESS rack. Mission controllers want to ensure station noise levels remain acceptable.Д®SA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti started Friday checking samples for the Soft Matter Dynamics fluid physics study potentially impacting the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries among others. NASA Flight Engineer Jessica Watkins set up acoustic monitors in the Kibo laboratory module, the Tranquility module, and the Zvezda service module on Friday.

The investigation may provide insights into behavioral health and performance issues crews may face separated from family and friends while on missions farther away from Earth. The duo practiced simulated robotics maneuvers on a computer for the Behavioral Core Measures space psychology study. NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines participated in a robotics test on Friday.

holiday aboard the International Space Station. The four astronauts and three cosmonauts will also relax on Monday observing the Fourth of July U.S. The seven Expedition 67 crew members are going into the weekend with a host of microgravity research and housekeeping activities.
