The suns glint beams off a tranquil, blue Atlantic Ocean in this photo from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above and east of The Bahamas. Credit: NASASpace biology and life assistance maintenance were the main focus for the Expedition 70 crew on Tuesday, January 9. The orbital residents aboard the International Space Station also studied future piloting techniques and fluid physics completing the research study schedule.NASA astronauts Loral OHara and Jasmin Moghbeli signed up with Commander Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) for biology research inside the Kibo laboratory module. The trio worked during the early morning in Kibos Life Science Glovebox to discover how microgravity affects reproductive health and bone loss.In the afternoon, OHara removed the Bio-Monitor vest and headband she was using that are showing the capability to comfortably keep track of and record an astronauts health information. Moghbeli inspected orbital pipes gear in the orbital outposts Roscosmos section. Mogensen ended his shift examining treatments for photographing the Moon illuminated by light shown from Earth.(From left) Expedition 70 Flight Engineers Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral OHara, both from NASA, use Bio-Monitor headbands packed with sensing units that monitor an astronauts health and physiological specifications while minimally interfering with their crew activities. Credit: NASAFlight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) invested his day mainly servicing life support hardware and science equipment. Furukawas primary task took location inside the Columbus lab module as he connected and detached internal thermal control elements. Afterward, he eliminated a co2 incubator controller from inside the Space Automated Bioproduct Laboratory, a life science and physics research study facility.Cosmonaut Nikolai Chub worked throughout Tuesday on a pair of different experiments for Roscosmos. He first wore a cap filled with sensing units that monitored his reactions as he practiced futuristic spacecraft and robotic piloting methods on a computer system. Next, he studied how liquids behave in microgravity conditions consisting of temperature level changes and electrical and magnetic fields.Sand dunes, sandstone plateaus, and rocky platforms that consist of the Tassili NAjjer National Park in the southeastern part of Algeria are visualized from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above the Sahara. Credit: NASAVeteran cosmonaut and five-time station local Oleg Kononenko spent Tuesday checking and photographing sections inside the Zvezda service module. Flight Engineer Konstantin Borisov continued working on drill batteries then checked and photographed structural elements inside the Nauka and Zarya modules.The Cygnus area freighter finished its remain in area when it reentered Earths environment at 1:22 p.m. EDT today for a fiery, but safe damage over the Pacific Ocean. Cygnus departed the orbital laboratory on December 22, after four-and-a-half months berthed to the stations Unity module. The private resupply ship from Northrop Grumman introduced over 8,200 pounds of science and freight to the Expedition 70 team on August 1 from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
