A day before Expedition 64 moved the Soyuz MS-17 to another port on the International Space Station, the team of seven continued studies on the effects of microgravity on humans, plants and materials, along with a twin arrival event.
NASA astronaut Victor Glover took part in two media events, each with a different team. Glover and Kate Rubins first spoke to Fox 11 “Good Day LA” about living and working aboard the space station. About two hours later, Glover teamed up with Shannon Walker for an outreach event with U.S. representative Norma Torres from California, where they answered questions submitted by students.
Glover reunited with Rubins for eye ultrasound. Taking guidance from the ground, Glover was an operator for the Rubins study. Spaceflight, especially for long missions, can affect vision and eye health. These ongoing studies provide valuable data to researchers and test the accuracy and capability of portable medical equipment station crews – devices that will become even more critical as researchers become more sophisticated. farthest from the Earth.
Meanwhile, NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins continued to shut down spaceuit machinery and equipment used during spaceflight Saturday that he and Glover completed to service a cooling system and communications gear the orbiting laboratory. Also, the astronaut replaced an old crystal growth chamber in support of the Industrial Crystallography Facility (ICF). The ICF is used to grow crystals in an inoperable place on Earth – samples large enough for commercial use. These crystals are not only interesting to look at, but essential in the research and development of new materials.
JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Soichi Noguchi was caught in a study examining fast-growing plants, known as Asian Herb in space. Future space travel, especially to destinations like Mars, will depend on plants for nutrition, traditional medicine and flavor. This experiment will contribute to the growing research group on plant growth, as well as provide new information on the formation of fragrant fertilizers in plants.
Flight Engineer Sergey Kud-Sverchkov from Roscosmos cultivated different types of cells with Kaskad’s survey, while his colleague, Commander Sergey Ryzhikov, focused on setting and preparing for Soyuz’s movement activity.
On Friday, March 19, viewers can check out the Soyuz MS-17 undock and take a spin in the orbital neighborhood, so to speak, and then reconnect to the Poisk model, which provides a free port Rassvet for Soyuz dock MS- 18. Live coverage of the move will begin on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website at 12:15 pm EDT. Unlocking from Rassvet is expected at 12:38 pm, with Poisk’s re-lock targeted at 1:07 pm
The new vehicle, MS-18, will enter the station following a planned April 9 announcement, carrying NASA’s Mark Vande Hei and Roscosmos’s Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov’s.

Asian Herbs in Space: The team stored samples in the Minus Eighty-Degree laboratory freezer for ISS (MELFI) and closed a 30-day Asian Herb plant growth test. Microgravity affects plant growth and an understanding of the nature of these changes is important for future missions that will depend on plants for food. Asian Herbs in Space study fast-growing plants used for traditional medicine and food tasting, exploring differences in their aroma that may result from cellular changes co -connected with microgravity. This study is of benefit to future plant growth efforts and provides new information on the formation of fragrant fertilizers in common herbs.
Dose Circulation within the ISS – 3D (DOSIS-3D): The team looked at the DOSIS Main Box LEDs to gather information about the DOSIS Main Box Status. ISS crews are constantly exposed to varying levels of radiation that can be harmful to their health. DOSIS-3D uses a number of active and passive detectors to determine the radiation doses within the ISS. The goal is a three-dimensional radiation map covering all segments of the ISS.
Industrial Crystallization Facility (ICF): The team modified the Single Crystal Growth Chamber (SCGC) model in the ICF. Getting a good connection was a bit difficult at first, but this was resolved. The ICF is a small chamber that allows crystals to grow over time into large crystals that are suitable for use in a science laboratory on Earth. When grown in the microgravity environment of the ISS, the crystals are of much higher quality than those currently grown on Earth.
JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) -16 Removal: After the satellites were deployed on Sunday, and in preparation for the next satellite device to use the JEM airlock, the hardware went Remove J-SSOD-16 from slide. The J-SSOD brings modern, secure, and satellite launch capability to the ISS. The J-SSOD is a special-purpose satellite transceiver, handled by the Japanese Test Module Remote Control System (JEMRMS), which provides protection and usability devices for several individual small satellites.
Life support rack (LSR): As part of LSR maintenance, the team replaced the hydrogen sensor with an additional unit. LSR is a technological indicator for closed-loop air regeneration. LSR captures carbon dioxide from cabinet air and recovers 50% of its oxygen for use by the astronauts. LSR will work for at least a year on the ISS to demonstrate the strength of the technology for future Exploration Missions.
Systems
Extravehicular Post (EVA) Activities: The team completed a number of activities to prepare EVA equipment for long-term stow. Initially, the team maintained EVA equipment. Next, the team performed a cooling loop and iodination scrubber for Extravehicular Movement Unit (EMU) 3009. Finally, the team completed the final Metal Oxide (METOX) regenerative cycle.
Temperature and Humidity Control (THC) Intermittent Ventilation Flow Measurement: As part of a system health check, the team used a Velocicalc instrument to measure the amount of airflow through selected ventilation channels and centers. Today’s measurements were taken in Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, Oxygen Generation System (OGS) rack, Cupola, and LAB. In addition, the team used the Carbon Dioxide Monitor (CDM) to take CO2 measurements in the SM, LAB, and Node 3 models to ensure a good distribution of Carbon Dioxide across the U.S. On-orbit Segment (USOS) .
Build Crew-1 Rock Catcher: The team built a “Rock Catcher” that will eventually be installed into the heels of an IMV in Node 2 leading to the zenith Node 2 docking port. Rock Catcher is a device built into orbit to create a barrier for IMV heels to ensure that the airflow path to the Visiting Vehicle (VV) is protected. While Crew-1 is currently deployed to Node 2 onwards, Crew-1 will move to Node 2 zenith before Crew-2 arrives.
Treadmill 2 (T2) Monthly Check: As part of regular maintenance to ensure that the T2 exercise machine is in good working condition, the team inspected the four Snubber Arms for any sign of free play in addition to make any necessary adjustments to reduce freebies. play.
