Maurer started his day on the Ultrasonic Tweezers research study utilizing acoustics to manipulate objects remotely and without physical contact. Vande Hei helped the German astronaut throughout the experiment that explores using ultrasonics to trap and isolate challenge study samples and avoid contamination on planetary surface areas.
NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn worked throughout Monday on science hardware ensuring important research operations run efficiently in weightlessness. The three-time station visitor installed and serviced parts inside the Cell Biology Experiment Facility, an incubator with an artificial gravity generator. He lastly switched drying representatives, or desiccants, inside science freezers that maintain research samples.
Vande Hei signed up with Roscosmos Flight Engineer Pyotr Dubrov in the stations Russian section for more cordless gear maintenance. Commander Anton Shkaplerov set up hardware that will keep an eye on how natural and man-made events on Earth impact the upper environment.

Barron then joined ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer and practiced measuring fluid pressure in the eye. She likewise photographed cotton cell samples growing for the Plant Habitat-05 space agriculture research study.

The Expedition 66 crew began the week today exploring how living in space impacts psychology and ways to manipulate items with sound. The citizens aboard the International Space Station also serviced U.S. spacesuits and dealt with a synthetic gravity-generating incubator.
NASA Flight Engineers Kayla Barron and Raja Chari took turns taking part in a robotics test for the Behavioral Core Measures experiment on Monday. The month-to-month sessions investigate how living in a confined space in microgravity impacts team habits, tension, and efficiency.
