Alneyadi harvested tomatoes collecting them for both scientific analysis and team intake for the Veg-05 space botany study. The homebound foursome is handing over their obligations to the stations most recent crew members as well as collecting cargo and personal items to take back to Earth inside Endurance. Station Commander Sergey Prokopyev has actually been on the orbiting lab since getting here on September 21 aboard the Soyuz MS-22 team ship with flight engineers Dmitri Petelin of Roscosmos and Frank Rubio of NASA. The station trio are continuing their stay in area and will return to Earth later this year aboard the Soyuz MS-23 team ship.
Another 4 crewmates are due to complete their station mission this month. Astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada of NASA, and Koichi Wakata of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and cosmonaut Anna Kikina of Roscosmos, introduced into space on October 5 from the Kennedy Space Center and signed up with the Expedition 68 crew after docking on October 6.
The homebound foursome is handing over their obligations to the stations latest crew members as well as collecting freight and individual items to take back to Earth inside Endurance. Kikina tested a specialized suit that might help team members adjust quicker to the return to Earths gravity.

The 11 citizens onboard the International Space Station (ISS) is comprised of three specific teams that reached the orbital outpost on three various crew ships. The most current crew to arrive was SpaceX Crew-6 docking on Friday at 1:40 a.m. EST in the Crew Dragon Endeavour automobile.
The four Crew-6 members are now Expedition 68 flight engineers embarking on a six-month area research study mission. The brand-new station crewmates are Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg of NASA together with Sultan Alneyadi of UAE (United Arab Emirates) and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos. They are familiarizing themselves with station operations, systems, and emergency situation treatments.

Bowen and Hoburg started a new experiment today conducting ultrasound scans and collecting blood pressure measurements to find out how an astronauts eyes, brain, and blood vessels change throughout an area objective. Alneyadi collected tomatoes collecting them for both clinical analysis and crew consumption for the Veg-05 area botany research study.
