The Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (also called Dextre), a fine-tuned robotic hand designed and built by the Canadian Space Agency, is pictured in front of the International Space Stations main solar arrays as the orbital complex skyrocketed 260 miles above the Pacific Ocean. Dextre is connected to the leading end effector, or idea, of the Canadarm2 robotic arm.

The orbital septet also worked on a variety of life assistance and science upkeep tasks throughout Wednesday.NASA Flight Engineer Loral OHara started Tuesday setting up an experiment that will explore how CubeSats fitted with a robotic arm may be utilized to repair bigger satellites. She established hardware inside the Destiny lab modules Microgravity Science Glovebox for the experiment that seeks to show the on-orbit study and repair work of satellites.The second-largest lake in Western Australia, Lake Barlee is seen from the International Space Station as it orbited 262 miles above. Throughout most of the year, the saline lakebed is dry, but fills with floodwater throughout series of significant rains.

NASA Flight Engineer Jasmin Moghbeli tidied up Kibos Life Science Glovebox and stowed the research study hardware following OHaras sample work.Earlier in the day, Moghbeli assisted Commander Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency) as he switched out elements that analyze aspects in the spaceport stations air. At the end of the day, Moghbeli scanned the eyes and retinas of Mogensen and OHara using basic medical imaging equipment, comparable to ultrasound imaging, discovered in a medical professionals office on Earth.JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut and Expedition 70 Flight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa works on carbon dioxide elimination hardware inside the International Space Stations Destiny lab module. Credit: NASAFlight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) invested his day dealing with a set of microscopic lens. Throughout the morning, Furukawa triggered the Confocal microscope to image organoid culture samples for an investigation exploring regenerative medication, or the development of synthetic organs in microgravity. In the afternoon, the two-time station citizen from JAXA established the Kermit microscopic lense for a ground-commanded check out of its imaging ability during a vibration test.Veteran cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko continued his assessments inside the Zvezda service module then videotaped and photographed his crewmates at work aboard the orbital laboratory. Roscosmos Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub checked a notebook computer in the Nauka science module, transferred fluids into the Progress 86 freight craft, and photographed panels inside the Poisk module at the end of the day. Cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov spent his day cleaning up ventilation systems and electronics equipment in the Nauka and Zvezda modules.
