Flight Engineers Nicole Mann, Josh Cassada, and Frank Rubio from NASA and Flight Engineer Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency were in their second of three days of research study operations for the Osteopromotive Bone Adhesive study. The quartet as soon as again spent all the time working in the Kibo lab module studying biological specimens inside the Life Science Glovebox. The samples are gone back to Earth for evaluation and analysis and are compared to control samples on the ground kept under comparable conditions.
Commander Sergey Prokopyev continued his area physics research on Tuesday studying how clouds of extremely charged particles, or plasma crystals, act in a specialized chamber. This essential experiment might lead to advanced research study techniques and enhance practical understanding for Earth and space markets.
Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin spent Tuesday morning gathering station air samples for analysis from the Zvezda, Zarya, Nauka, and Destiny modules. Petelin later on joined Prokopyev and checked the stations tele-robotically operated rendezvous system, or TORU, in coordination with the ISS Progress 81 freight craft docked to Zvezda.
Flight Engineer Anna Kikina started her day by working on an oxygen generator and other life support elements. Later, she signed up with Petelin for eye checks using medical imaging hardware to comprehend how living in space impacts vision.

Doctors have found out that microgravity inhibits bone tissue regeneration and are exploring methods to promote bone repair work while living in space. Outcomes may improve recovery from bone injuries during space objectives and benefit therapies for conditions on Earth such as osteoporosis.

4 Expedition 68 astronauts are midway through their bone research activities today assisting medical professionals enhance treatment for bone conditions on and off the Earth. The 3 cosmonauts living aboard the International Space Station kept up their physics research study, tested spacecraft interactions equipment, and performed eye tests.
Weightlessness reveals phenomena that are hard or difficult to study in Earths gravity environment. Scientists on the ground utilize the spaceport stations research facilities to study and observe these unique phenomena and offer innovative options benefiting a host of space and Earth-bound markets.
4 astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory remain in the middle of an experiment that is studying a bone graft adhesive that might reverse the results of weightlessness on stem cells and bone tissue. Doctors have actually learned that microgravity inhibits bone tissue regrowth and are checking out methods to promote bone repair while residing in space. Results may enhance recovery from bone injuries throughout area missions and benefit treatments for conditions on Earth such as osteoporosis.
