NASA astronaut Raja Chari is helping 2 cosmonauts get all set for two spacewalks prepared for April to equip the Nauka multipurpose lab module. Chari shared U.S. spacesuit parts including helmet lights and electronic cameras to Roscosmos Flight Engineers Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev as they arranged their spacewalk tools and configured their Orlan spacesuits. The Russian duo is preparing to leave the space station toward the end of the month to outfit Nauka for the stations 3rd robotic arm, the European robotic arm.
Station Commander Tom Marshburn and Flight Engineer Kayla Barron, both from NASA, joined ESA (European Space Agency) Flight Engineer Matthias Maurer in checking water containers in the Tranquility module and the Permanent multipurpose module. Marshburn also worked on an experiment showing sophisticated ways to keep U.S. spacesuits cool while Maurer and Barron inspected elements on the stations advanced resistive workout device.
Roscosmos Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov dealt with moving water from the ISS Progress 80 cargo craft into the station. The first time space-flyer also contributed to a study exploring how global teams and mission controllers engage on Earth and in space.
The very first private astronaut objective from Axiom Space is on track to release aboard the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday at 11:17 a.m. Ax-1 Commander and former NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, along with Pilot Larry Connor and Mission Specialists Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, would come to the area station on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. docking to the Harmony modules space-facing port to begin their stay aboard the orbital laboratory.

The seven-member Expedition 67 crew is preparing for a pair of spacewalks set up for later on this month while ensuring the International Space Station orbits Earth in good shape. On the other hand, the very first private astronaut mission is less than one day from introducing toward the orbital laboratory.

Artemyev and Matveev began the day with pre-spacewalk muscle evaluations prior to checking their spacesuits found in the Poisk module. The duo then took turns throughout the afternoon checking out how crew members might pilot spacecraft and robotics on future planetary objectives.
