Ultra-cold area physics and resistance research study were the top science objectives aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on Monday, November 27. The seven-member Expedition 70 team is likewise stepping up its cargo operations this week while continuing to keep laboratory systems.
The coldest place in the universe may simply be the orbital outposts Cold Atom Lab, a quantum research study device that chills atoms to near absolute absolutely no, lower than the average temperature level of area. NASA Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli configured components and set up hardware for a controller test of the center that supplies special observations of atomic wave functions seen at exceptionally low temperatures not possible on Earth.

Moghbeli likewise helped Commander Andreas Mogensen inside the Columbus laboratory module establishing the Kubik incubator first thing Monday early morning. Next, Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) collected and processed his blood and saliva samples for the Immunity Assay biology study that is checking out cellular immunity in space. Later, he positioned a set of samples inside a science freezer and put another set inside Kubik for later analysis.

Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) worked in the Kibo laboratory module maintenance equipment that rejects and cools heat from equipment to guarantee a safe operating environment aboard the space station.
Dragon is due to return to Earth in mid-December loaded with hardware and finished science experiments for retrieval and analysis.
Newbie area flyer Konstantin Borisov started Monday servicing a variety of life support and communications gear. Throughout the afternoon, he collected air samples throughout the stations Roscosmos modules for chemical analysis.
OHara spent the afternoon examining the COLBERT treadmill in the Tranquility module. Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) worked in the Kibo lab module servicing equipment that declines and cools heat from equipment to ensure a safe operating environment aboard the area station.

Furukawa later partnered with Mogensen and Moghbeli loading freight inside the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked to the Harmony modules forward port. The Dragon cargo spacecraft arrived on November 11 bring about 6,500 pounds of equipment consisting of advanced science hardware to study laser communications and atmospheric gravity waves. Dragon is because of return to Earth in mid-December packed with hardware and finished science experiments for retrieval and analysis.
The Roscosmos Progress 84 resupply ship will end its mission when it departs on Wednesday after six months docked to the Poisk module. Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub loaded garbage and discarded equipment inside the departing Progress that will reenter the environment above the South Pacific Ocean for a fiery, however safe disposal. It will be changed when the Progress 86, loaded with almost 5,600 pounds of cargo, launches at 4:25 a.m. EDT on Friday and instantly docks to Poisk at 6:14 a.m. on Sunday.
Veteran cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko started his day pointing a specialized electronic camera toward Earth to get climatic and atmospheric information. Next, he studied how fluid systems are affected by spaceflight conditions such as magnetic and electrical fields. Newbie space leaflet Konstantin Borisov began Monday servicing a variety of life support and interactions gear. During the afternoon, he collected air samples throughout the stations Roscosmos modules for chemical analysis.
