Zero Gravity, High Stakes: ISS Crew’s Health and Biology Experiments Amid Dragon’s Countdown

NASA astronaut and Expedition 70 Flught Engineer Loral OHara shows off research study hardware supporting the UMAMI, or Understanding of Microgravity on Animal-Microbe Interaction, space biology experiment. Furukawa readied the SAFFIRE-VI fire security experiment that will be conducted from another location aboard the Cygnus area freighter after it departs the area station.Routine Tasks and MaintenanceAstronauts Loral OHara and Andreas Mogensen began Monday morning stowing spacewalking tools in the Quest airlock. Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) installed air sensing units in Harmony and then inspected hose pipes inside the COLBERT treadmill.ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and Expedition 70 Commander Andreas Mogensen replaces computer system hardware inside the Advanced Space Experiment Processor-2 (ADSEP-2) that can house and process samples for a variety of biological and physical science experiments.
