Afterward, Bowen peered at biological samples inside the Confocal Microscope screening its operations utilizing fluorescence imaging strategies. Hoburg signed up with UAE (United Arab Emirates) Flight Engineer Sultan Alneyadi setting up hardware to kick off the CapiSorb Visible Systems fluid physics study. That experiment examines the potential of using a liquid-based co2 removal system to promote more efficient space-based options and advanced Earth-bound applications.
The three astronauts, together with NASA Flight Engineer Frank Rubio, likewise invested a portion of Wednesday afternoon reviewing treatments and practicing robotic maneuvers for a spacewalk prepared for April 28. Bowen and Alneyadi are arranged to spend about six-and-a-half hours in the vacuum of space updating the orbital stations power generation system. Spaceport station managers will discuss the upcoming spacewalk live on NASA TVs app and the agencys website at 2 p.m. EDT on Monday.
The 3rd spacewalk of the year was completed overnight after Commander Sergey Prokopyev and Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin set up a radiator on the Nauka science module. The duo finished up the 55-minute and seven-hour logistics spacewalk at 5:35 a.m. on Wednesday, with assistance from Roscosmos Flight Engineer Andrey Fedyaev who operated the European robotic arm (ERA) with the radiator in its grip.
The trio from Roscosmos will have a long sleep duration prior to going back to a typical shift on Thursday. Prokopyev and Petelin will then invest the day cleaning their Orlan spacesuits and stowing their spacewalking tools in the Poisk module. Fedyaev will return the ERA to its stowage position on Nauka and then power it down.

On Wednesday, the Expedition 69 astronauts performed science experiments aboard the International Space Station. NASA astronauts studied the result of weightlessness on astronauts brains and eyes, while UAE Flight Engineer and NASA Flight Engineer set up hardware for a fluid physics research study. They also spent the afternoon practicing robotic maneuvers for an upcoming spacewalk on April 28. Overnight, 2 of the astronauts installed a radiator on the Nauka science module, completing the third spacewalk of the year.
Human research study and fluid physics were the primary science experiments occurring aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, April 19, for four Expedition 69 astronauts. The 3 cosmonauts aboard the orbital outpost oversleeped following an overnight spacewalk to move and set up hardware.
The most recent space biology experiment taking location on the station explores how living long-lasting in weightlessness impacts an astronauts eyes and brain. The absence of gravity causes blood and cerebrospinal fluid to move towards the head creating cranial and ocular pressure. NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg studied that phenomena Wednesday morning and methods to balance out the space-caused signs by collecting their blood pressure measurements and scanning their chests with the Ultrasound 2 gadget for the ISAFE investigation.
