ISS Astronauts Conduct Earth Observations, Space Biology and Hardware Installs

This specific experiment procedures and evaluates DNA length aboard the station utilizing fluorescent samples. The Genes in Space program consists of ongoing investigations that allow high and middle school trainees to design DNA experiments that deal with a challenge in space expedition.

Hoburg likewise finished a security video survey of the station that will permit the ground team to evaluate the orbital labs current setup.

On the International Space Station, Expedition 69 is carrying out the Genes in Space-10 operation, studying DNA length with fluorescent samples. The team also completed jobs ranging from station reorganization, bracket installations, battery swaps, earth observations, and preparations for a resupply objective, together with activities from the Roscosmos team, including 3D printing and carrying out microgravity experiments.
Another Genes in Space examination is underway on the International Space Station (ISS). On Thursday, the Expedition 69 crew members also installed brackets, completed evaluations, and observed Earth.
This particular experiment measures and evaluates DNA length aboard the station utilizing fluorescent samples. The Genes in Space program includes ongoing investigations that allow high and middle school students to design DNA experiments that address an obstacle in space expedition.

NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg started his day consolidating and restructuring stowage in the Columbus Laboratory Module. He then moved into the Destiny module with NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen to set up drawer deal with brackets to the Human Research Facility. Hoburg also completed a security video study of the station that will allow the ground team to assess the orbital labs present configuration.

Additionally, Bowen gathered products that will be disposed of on Northrop Grummans 19th commercial resupply objective releasing no earlier than Tuesday, August 1.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) Flight Engineer Sultan Alneyadi spent his day charging and switching batteries on Astrobee– the stations free-flying robotics– inspecting blankets and blanket covers in crew quarters, and observing and photographing Earth from the Window Observational Research Facility.
Commander Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos charged and reconfigured a cordless, portable microscopic lense then ran the 3d and prepped printer in the Zvezda service module. Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin continued his work that began 2 days back, running experiments that studies the behavior of liquid diffusion in microgravity, while Flight Engineer Andrey Fedyaev set up cables in Zvezda.
