A research study just recently provided aboard the SpaceX Cargo Dragon automobile and under method today at the orbital laboratory is exploring how visual function is affected by extended space missions. 3 NASA astronauts, Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn, and Kayla Barron were on task throughout the day contributing to the investigation that may safeguard astronauts vision and enhance eye treatments on Earth.
They will invest about 7 hours in the vacuum of space configuring both the Prichal and Nauka modules.

Microbe collections continued for the third day today as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer swabbed station surfaces and stowed the samples for later analysis. The German astronaut also serviced the Mochii electron-scanning microscope, set up a computer for Earth observations, and worked on the Cytoskeleton human cell experiment.
NASA Flight Engineer Mark Vande Hei was on duty Thursday afternoon in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module carrying out life support upkeep. The three-time station visitor dealt with the fluid servicer system that removes gas bubbles and cleans up fluid lines throughout the orbital lab.
Vande Hei likewise signed up with cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov helping the Russian duo set up lights, batteries and video gear on their Orlan spacesuit helmets. The pair started the day with a fitness test to get ready for a spacewalk prepared for Jan. 19. They will invest about seven hours in the vacuum of space setting up both the Prichal and Nauka modules.

Area biology research study and spacewalk preparations kept the Expedition 66 crew busy aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The orbital residents also ensured space hardware including exercise equipment, a specialized microscopic lense, and fluid systems continued operating in great shape.
Living long-lasting in microgravity impacts every aspect of the body and the eyes are no exception. A study just recently delivered aboard the SpaceX Cargo Dragon automobile and under way today at the orbital laboratory is exploring how visual function is impacted by extended area missions. 3 NASA astronauts, Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn, and Kayla Barron were on responsibility throughout the day adding to the investigation that may secure astronauts vision and improve eye treatments on Earth.
Marshburn initially started his day in the Tranquility module strengthening cable televisions on the advanced resistive workout gadget. Chari, towards completion of his work shift, cleaned up the Veggie area botany center before loading a spacecraft and uninstalling environment monitor for go back to the ground.
