Chari was in charge of eye checks today as he scanned the eyes of Marshburn and Maurer using medical imaging equipment. Chari likewise partnered with Barron and studied how the central worried system adapts to the lack of traditional up and down hints in microgravity. Maurer invested the afternoon setting up and keeping an eye on the Astrobee robotic helpers to explore their ability to conduct autonomous maintenance jobs.
Three cosmonauts are continuing to get up to speed with life in space while working on their array of science and laboratory upkeep jobs. Veteran cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev unpacked cargo from inside the Soyuz MS-21 crew ship and serviced hardware in the stations Russian sector. First time space-flyers Sergey Korsakov and Denis Matveev spent the day preserving a variety of communications and ventilation gear while getting familiar with area station systems.

Exploration 67 is formally in progress following Wednesdays undocking of three International Space Station crew members. The seven orbital homeowners had a full schedule of human research and laboratory maintenance jobs on Thursday.
NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei returned to Houston today following his landing in Kazakhstan on Wednesday at 7:28 a.m. EDT with cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov. The trio undocked from the stations Rassvet module in their Soyuz MS-19 crew ship simply over four hours previously officially ending the Expedition 66 objective.
The stations new commander, NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn, assumed command of the station from Shkaplerov the day before and will lead Expedition 67 till his departure. He started his day turning on the Astrobee robotic totally free leaflets to record video imagery inside the station. He also joined his SpaceX Dragon crewmates, astronauts Raja Chari and Kayla Barron of NASA, and Matthias Maurer of ESA (European Space Agency), for a conference with objective supervisors on the ground. The quartet likewise called down to the SpaceX Crew-4 astronauts slated to join them in late April.
