NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins started her early morning with cable connections inside a refrigerator-sized research study rack called the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR). The CIR lies in the U.S. Destiny lab module and allows safe examinations into the habits of fuels, flames, and soot, in weightlessness. Watkins then helped Lindgren in the afternoon as he set up a barrier on the Quest airlocks vent relief and isolation valve to avoid inadvertent contact with the life support gadget.
2 cosmonauts, station Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev, spent Monday servicing a set of Russian Orlan spacesuits. The set checked the suits communications and life support group. Sergey Korsakov, Roscosmos Flight Engineer, started his day checking out future spacecraft piloting and robotic control methods. Later he moved on to assessments in the Nauka multipurpose lab module and ventilation maintenance the Zvezda service module.
Astronauts Bob Hines of NASA and Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency) took turns on Monday cleansing hardware and supporting samples for a biology examination that is exploring skin healing in space. Hines then invested the afternoon installing seed cartridges and root modules for the XROOTS space agriculture research study to start a 30-day growth period of radishes and mizuna greens. Spacewalker Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency) works outside the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module on the International Space Station while using a Russian Orlan spacesuit. The deployer will be put outside Kibo in the vacuum of area prior to releasing a set of CubeSats into low-Earth orbit for a range of research study and education programs.

A busy week of crucial research benefitting people living on and off the Earth began for the seven Expedition 67 residents of the International Space Station (ISS). The orbital homeowners also continued supporting the ISSs huge selection of life, research study, and flight assistance systems.
Astronauts Bob Hines of NASA and Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency) took turns on Monday cleaning hardware and supporting samples for a biology investigation that is exploring skin recovery in area. Observations may supply insights into enhancing injury healing therapies for both astronauts and Earthlings. Hines then invested the afternoon installing seed cartridges and root modules for the XROOTS space farming research study to begin a 30-day growth duration of radishes and mizuna greens. The research study uses hydroponics and aeroponics methods to find out how to produce crops on a bigger scale on future manned missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

NASA Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren opened the Kibo laboratory modules airlock and recovered an external science platform. He also set up a small satellite deployer on the research study gear. The deployer will be positioned outside Kibo in the vacuum of space prior to releasing a set of CubeSats into low-Earth orbit for a variety of research and education programs.
