Kjell Lindgren, NASA Flight Engineer, helped Watkins and Hines in moving science freezers inside Dragon to access cargo pallets. Lindgren likewise tended to radishes and mizuna greens growing using aeroponic and hydroponic approaches for the XROOTS area botany research study. ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti tested computer connections inside the European Physiology Module that supports neuroscientific, cardiovascular, and physiological investigations inside the Columbus laboratory module.
The stations three cosmonauts focused mainly on life support upkeep duties. Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev serviced Russian ventilation systems changing vents and filters. Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov carried out orbital pipes duties inside the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module.

New science experiments continue to be unpacked from inside the newly-arrived SpaceX Dragon resupply ship. The 7 Expedition 67 crew members likewise guaranteed the International Space Station (ISS) continues orbiting Earth in tip-top shape.
The Dragon Spacecraft, which launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Pad 39A, at 8:44 p.m. EDT (5:44 p.m. PDT) on July 14 from NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, autonomously docked to the forward-facing port of the stations Harmony module at 11:21 a.m. EDT (8:21 a.m. PDT) on July 16, while the ISS was taking a trip more than 267 miles over the South Atlantic Ocean.
NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines invested Monday, July 18, discharging a few of the more than 5,800 pounds of crew materials and science experiments delivered on Saturday inside the Dragon cargo craft. The duo of Flight Engineers moved time-critical research samples into the orbital lab to begin exploring a range of area phenomena to benefit humans on and off the Earth. A few of the brand-new experiments include a human immune system research study, a protein production examination, and a cancer treatment experiment.
