Electronic Camera Installation and Robotics Training
OHara likewise partnered with Mogensen during the day configuring camera equipment that will be installed outside the area station on a future date. OHara then cleaned spacesuit helmets and stowed spacewalking equipment inside the Quest airlock. When running the 57.7-foot-long robotic arm, Mogensen brushed up on his Canadarm2 robotics abilities training on a computer to keep his proficiency.

Orbital Plumbing and Earth Observations
NASA Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli invested all the time in the Tranquility module working on orbital pipes tasks. She got rid of and changed elements on the water recovery system that is part of the restroom, also understood as the Waste and Hygiene Compartment, located in Tranquility.
In the Roscosmos sector of the orbital outpost, the cosmonauts worked on a range of Earth observation hardware supporting 3 various experiments. Veteran cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko set up a cam to monitor the impacts of natural disasters and human-caused catastrophes on the ground. Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub configured a different set of cam equipment pointing it towards Earth to image upper environment clouds and acquire more environment data. Flight Engineer Konstantin Borisov swapped lenses on the EarthKAM camera remotely managed by students to record their own images of Earth landmarks.

The Expedition 70 team mainly focused Wednesdays clinical research activities on the human eye and Earth observations while likewise continuing its life assistance maintenance jobs. The orbital citizens will also invite a cargo mission due to introduce to the International Space Station (ISS) this week.
Vision Studies in Space
Vision is a vital aspect adding to the success of a spaceflight and physicians want to understand how living in area during a long-lasting objective affects the human eye. Scientists on the ground observe astronauts with a range of instruments and experiments on the station gathering information for analysis. When constantly exposed to weightlessness and how an astronauts vision re-adjusts to gravity after returning to Earth, insights may show what happens to the eye.

CIPHER Suite Studies
One portion of the CIPHER suite of human research studies occurring on the orbital lab today is looking at space-caused structural and practical modifications in the eye. Astronauts Loral OHara and Satoshi Furukawa signed up with each other in the Columbus lab module for the sophisticated biology study. The duo first connected electrodes around their eyes to determine their retinal activity in reaction to light stimuli. Next, OHara from NASA and Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) peered into medical imaging hardware for a better take a look at their retinas. Finally, Furukawa imaged the eyes of Commander Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) utilizing the very same medical gear discovered in an optometrists office in the world.

OHara likewise partnered with Mogensen during the day setting up video camera gear that will be installed outside the area station on a future date. The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft attached to the companys Falcon 9 rocket is at the launch pad today at NASAs Kennedy Space.
Upcoming Cargo Mission
The SpaceX Dragon freight spacecraft connected to the businesss Falcon 9 rocket is at the launch pad today at NASAs Kennedy Space. Loaded with numerous thousand pounds of new science experiments, crew materials, and station hardware, Dragon is counting down to a liftoff at 8:28 p.m. EST on Thursday. It will show up at the station on Saturday throughout its automatic approach and rendezvous and dock to the Harmony modules forward port at 5:21 a.m. OHara and Moghbeli will be on responsibility tracking Dragons arrival.
