After arriving to the orbital outpost on September 21, 2022, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has reached one complete year in space today. His record-breaking mission has consisted of lots of clinical investigations that have actually helped researchers better comprehend how human beings flourish while living and working in area. Flight Engineers Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral OHara of NASA began their day in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) cleaning smoke detectors. Flight Engineer Konstantin Borisov worked in the Nauka module, changing and removing vacuum pumps, while Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub ran the 3D printer in the Zvezda service module.

Flight Engineers Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral OHara of NASA started their day in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) cleaning smoke detectors. The duo then broke up after lunch, Moghbeli removing and changing cables on the network router in the Destiny Laboratory Module, while OHara studied training products on the stations new Potable Water Dispenser. OHara then signed up with ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen to review spacesuit operations.
JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) Flight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa kick-started his day with the required 2 hours of workout for astronauts, utilizing the stations bike, CEVIS, and the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device, or ARED. The rest of his day was spent working in JEM, gathering samples from the Water Recovery System for future analysis.

The 5 Roscosmos cosmonauts living in low-Earth orbit dealt with separate jobs today as two prepare to head home to Earth next week. Flight Engineer Konstantin Borisov operated in the Nauka module, replacing and getting rid of air pump, while Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub ran the 3D printer in the Zvezda service module. Their fellow cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who got here to the orbiting lab just recently with OHara and Chub, ran an experiment that assesses cardiovascular and respiratory function.
The other two long-serving station residents, Commander Sergey Prokopyev and Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin, reached one year in space today together with Rubio. The duo spent their 365th day continuing to prepare for their journey back home to Earth next week on September 27.

Expedition 69 team members on the ISS marked a hectic week with cleaning, maintenance, and experiments. Frank Rubio, Sergey Prokopyev, and Dmitri Petelin commemorated a year in area, while others contributed to scientific investigations and varied tasks.
As the Expedition 69 crew members near completion of their work week, the 10 orbital locals completed a range of cleaning and maintenance tasks on Thursday, September 21, aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
After showing up to the orbital outpost on September 21, 2022, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has actually reached one complete year in space today. His record-breaking mission has actually included lots of clinical investigations that have actually helped researchers better comprehend how people flourish while living and working in space. Rubio invested the majority of his 365th day on station maintenance, carrying out upkeep on the Human Research Facility, eliminating and changing its pressure sensor block. In the night, he collected biological samples for the ongoing Standard Measures investigation.
