Space Station Astronauts Study Foams, Fires, and Liquids – Test New Toilet

NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines started his day with a cognition test for the Standard Measures research study. It is a human research study experiment that seeks to characterize the adaptive reactions to and the dangers of living in space. Hines then invested the afternoon setting up components and testing the efficiency of the new U.S. toilet system, which lies in the stations Tranquility module.
After working and living on the space station for six months, three cosmonauts are nearing their team departure. In addition, Matveev spent Thursday examining how to enhance the space lab environment for biotechnology experiments.

Today aboard the International Space Station, foams, fires, and liquids in area were the primary research study subjects to improve the quality of life for humans surviving on and off the Earth. In addition, the Expedition 67 team took a look at a new U.S. toilet while tailoring up for team departure activities at the end of the month.
A number of area physics research study experiments happened in microgravity on Thursday as the crew checked out how weightlessness affects a range of phenomena that human beings are familiar with in the world. The absence of gravity effects the qualities and behavior of Earth-bound phenomena. This exposes new residential or commercial properties and insights that help researchers and engineers develop sophisticated products and applications benefitting both astronauts and Earthlings.
On Thursday, Flight Engineer Jessica Watkins of NASA focused her attention on the Foams and Emulsions experiment looking at samples in the KERMIT microscopic lense with the function of enhancing the consumer products industry. NASA Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren swapped samples in the Microgravity Science Glovebox for the Ring Sheared Drop fluid physics study to learn more about high-concentration protein fluids and enable the production of next-generation medications for dealing with cancers and other illness. ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti reconfigured components for the Solid Fuel Ignition and Extinction investigation. It is an experiment that explores fire development and fire security techniques in space.

A number of space physics research study experiments took place in microgravity on Thursday as the crew checked out how weightlessness impacts a range of phenomena that humans are familiar with on Earth. It is a human research study experiment that seeks to identify the adaptive responses to and the dangers of living in area.
