Workout Studies and Equipment Maintenance
Flight Engineers Satoshi Furukawa and Jasmin Moghbeli took turns today pedaling on an exercise cycle in the Destiny lab module for a fitness examination. During the very first workout session, Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) triggered the sophisticated cycle, connected sensors to himself, and used breathing gear while pedaling for an hour. Moghbeli from NASA then followed him strapping herself onto the workout cycle and pedaling as the instrumentation determined her aerobic capability and oxygen uptake.

Moghbeli likewise signed up with up with fellow NASA astronaut Loral OHara cleaning spacesuit parts and stowing tools following their very first spacewalk together last week. The duo likewise worked on life assistance tasks including examining water samples for microorganisms, inspecting orbital plumbing parts, and cleaning up a carbon dioxide removal gadget.
Space Manufacturing and Trash Management
3D printing research study was in progress once again in the orbiting labs Russian segment as experienced cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko activated the payload to demonstrate production tools and supplies in area to promote self-dependent teams. Newbie Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub loaded garbage and discarded gear in the Roscosmos Progress 84 freight craft that is targeted to end its mission at the of November. Konstantin Borisov, likewise a newbie cosmonaut, wore a cap packed with sensors as he checked out futuristic spacecraft and robotic piloting techniques to notify prospective planetary missions.
Leader Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) spent the early morning moving back and forth in between the Harmony module and the Columbus lab module processing blood samples.

Human research study and space manufacturing loaded the science schedule aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as soon as again on Tuesday, November 7. The Expedition 70 crew likewise continued its post-spacewalk clean-up activities and freight craft work.
Focus on Health and Fitness in Microgravity
Keeping teams healthy and in shape while residing in the weightless environment of a spacecraft is a crucial concern for NASA and its international partners. 2 area biology studies happening today on the orbital lab are taking a look at how microgravity impacts resistance and physical fitness as astronauts prepare for longer objectives further away from Earth.

Leader Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) invested the morning moving back and forth in between the Harmony module and the Columbus lab module processing blood samples. Mogensen recovered sample tubes that had been nurtured, placed them in a centrifuge for spinning, then stowed them in a science freezer for later analysis. The biomedical work is supporting the Immunity Assay experiment that is observing space-caused cellular stress and tissue damage and how it might affect human immunity.
