Living in space modifies molecular paths that speed up the loss of bone and muscle mass. Results might inform countermeasures to keep astronauts healthier for longer in area and improve the lives of aging individuals on Earth.
On Saturday, June 25, Northrop Grummans Cygnus spacecraft will perform its first minimal reboost of the International Space Station. Cygnus gimbaled delta speed engine will be used to change the area stations orbit through a reboost of the elevation of the area station.

NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines activated the Astrobee robotic free-flyers today to check their ability to autonomously browse and navigate inside the Kibo lab module utilizing smart device innovation. ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut invested her day servicing orbital plumbing parts inside the Tranquility module.
In the stations Russian section, Commander Oleg Artemyev set a cam for an Earth observation research study while Flight Engineer Denis Matveev moved air and water from the Progress 81 cargo craft into the station. Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov liquidated test operations of the European robotic arm then proceeded to ventilation system work.
On Saturday, June 25, Northrop Grummans Cygnus spacecraft will perform its first limited reboost of the International Space Station. Cygnus gimbaled delta velocity engine will be utilized to change the space stations orbit through a reboost of the altitude of the area station.
This reboost follows an initial attempted reboost on June 20 which was terminated early as a conservative measure due to system specifications that differed from Cygnus flight operations. Examination by engineers revealed that these specifications were acceptable for the reboost and the limitations were adjusted for Saturdays effort.

Human research study and area botany were the primary research activities aboard the International Space Station the other day, with a goal of assisting NASA and its global partners keep astronauts healthy on long-lasting objectives. The seven Expedition 67 team members also ensured the orbiting science laboratory continues operating in great shape at the end of the workweek.
Living in area changes molecular pathways that speed up the loss of bone and muscle mass. Results might notify countermeasures to keep astronauts healthier for longer in space and enhance the lives of aging people on Earth.
NASA Flight Engineer Jessica Watkins began collecting radishes and mizuna greens growing without soil for the XROOTS area gardening study on Friday, June 24, 2022. The experiment utilizes aeroponic and hydroponic techniques to grow edible plants so future crews can sustain themselves on longer spaceflight objectives beyond low-Earth orbit.
