Watkins turned on an Astrobee robotic free-flyer inside the Kibo lab module screening its autonomous maneuvers ahead of the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge 3 for trainees. Lindgren worked in the cupola setting up a camera to picture Moon images for a study that might help future Artemis astronauts navigate their method to the lunar surface area.
Cristoforetti transferred the AstroPi computer system from the Harmony module to the Columbus module throughout the early morning. She then spent the afternoon inspecting out a robotics manage system prior to ending lithium-ion battery charging operations on pistol grip tools.
Leader Oleg Artemyev signed up with Flight Engineer Denis Matveev and spent Friday replacing elements on the Zvezda service modules treadmill vibration isolation system. Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov worked on two various Russian experiments on Friday, one checking out the cardiovascular systems adaptation to microgravity and the other looking into innovative Earth photography methods.

The Expedition 67 team continued its continuous human research on Friday, May 27, 2022, with ultrasound eye examinations and blood circulation measurements in the brain. The orbital homeowners also checked out robotics and area navigation techniques.
The 4 astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took turns Friday early morning scanning each others eyes using the Ultrasound 2 device. Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines, Samantha Cristoforetti, and Jessica Watkins gathered in the Columbus laboratory module for the eye scans with real-time support from workers on the ground. Outcomes will help doctors understand how living in weightlessness impacts the eye, the retina, and vision.
Previously, Hines finished a session that required him to wear electrodes and sensors that monitored blood flow in his head and chest. The Cerebral Autoregulation examination is checking out how the human brain manages its blood circulation in microgravity. Outcomes might benefit astronauts who, after returning to Earths gravity, experience lightheadedness and a modification in blood pressure.
