Medical Inventory and Spacesuit Maintenance
NASA Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli inventoried medical supplies inside the Human Research Facility and photographed the contents for evaluation by specialists on the ground. Next, she took a look at a spacesuit jet pack screening its parts and carrying out leak checks. The jet pack, also called Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER), is connected to spacesuits the astronauts use during spacewalks. The SAFER supplies controls permitting a spacewalker to return to the station in the unlikely event they ended up being untethered from the orbiting laboratory.
Preparations by Roscosmos Flight Engineers
Roscosmos Flight Engineers Dmitri Petelin and Konstantin Borisov joined each other Thursday early morning evaluating the lower body negative pressure match that might help team members readjust to Earths gravity environment. Petelin also collected water samples from an Orlan spacesuit cooling system for screening. Borisov partnered with Commander Sergey Prokopyev and set up docking hardware on the Zvezda service modules aft port where the Roscosmos Progress 85 resupply ship is docked.

Life science and space physics research study continued aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, September 7, intending to enhance human health and advance basic knowledge. The Expedition 69 team members likewise dealt with spacesuit upkeep and continuous cargo activities.
Biological Studies in Space
Flight Engineers Andreas Mogensen and Satoshi Furukawa concentrated their research study activities on area biology to find out how weightlessness impacts human resistance and the aging procedure. Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) invested his 3rd day today processing blood samples and preparing them for incubation to comprehend how space impacts an astronauts body immune system. Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) sampled water from the Kibo laboratory modules water recovery system, performed a hearing test, and after that switched out business research hardware.
Making Sure Water Quality and Quantum Research
NASA Flight Engineer Frank Rubio gathered samples from the potable water dispenser and examined them to spot microorganisms and determine the quality of the water. Afterward, Rubio completed the hardware replacement work inside the Cold Atom Lab preparing the quantum research study gadget, that cools atoms to near absolute zero, for testing and operations.
