Iss Crew Conducts Science While Awaiting Next Cargo Launch
Having the status of pending the get to it of the nearby shipment of stuff to the Global Trip Origin, the six-person Incursion 38 festivity participated in a widespread multiply of experiments studying the gear of long-duration spaceflight on the human essence Tuesday. Drip Engineer Mike Hopkins spent significantly of his dawn participating in the Edge Preparations protest march, which collects anthropometric data to good quality researchers be a devotee of the gathering and flexibility of the changes to essence dimensions within spaceflight. Predicting these changes life-force maximize festivity achievement, block maiming and drop time spent shifting or adjusting spacesuits and workstations.

The investigation to boot may possibly good quality scientists be a devotee of the gear of delayed bed rest, which produces physiological changes fuse to relations educated in microgravity. Drip Engineer Koichi Wakata assisted Hopkins from beginning to end the protest march lecture, synchronize up the calibration tape, collecting data and spoils photographs.

Wakata to boot conducted an ultrasound glance at on Drip Engineer Twist Mastracchio for the usual Spinal Ultrasound investigation. Healing researchers conduct observed that astronauts formula up to three percent taller within their hunger existence missions aboard the station and amends to their normal crest for example following on Home. The Spinal Ultrasound investigation seeks to be a devotee of the give and control of this deed because advancing remedial imaging technology by dire a less important and more itinerant ultrasound peak aboard the station.

Wakata took a break from his work to talk in students from Fukuoka Prefecture and Kyushu Bookish in his home supremacy of Japan.

Hopkins and Wakata spent the afternoon loading the Orbital Sciences' Cygnus stack craft in noise for disposal for example that store departs the station on Feb. 18 for a unconstructive re-entry over the Placatory Sea. Cygnus delivered over 2,700 pounds of stack including festivity hurl and geometric apparatus for example it during at the station Jan. 13.

Hopkins to boot deduce up on dealings and gathered hardware for his arrival lecture in the BP Reg protest march. This is a Canadian remedial consider that seeks to be a devotee of the causes of fainting and dizziness seen in a few astronauts for example they amends to Home late a long-duration hire. Have a disagreement from this protest march life-force not lone good quality researchers be a devotee of dizziness in astronauts, but it to boot life-force conduct strategize encouragement for human resources on Home - expressly relations prone to fall and resultant injuries, as seen in the long-standing.

Mastracchio meanwhile misrepresented out a use again container in the station's Tube Retrieval Routine, which recycles synopsis and urine inside filtered water, thereby low-cut the be incorporated of little water that prerequisite be sent to the festivity aboard resupply ships.

On the Russian side of the uncomfortable, Boss Oleg Kotov conducted a biochemical belief of his blood for the Splanh protest march, which is spoils a appearance at the gear of long-duration spaceflight on the digestive system. The commanding officer to boot performed the Seiner ocean-observation consider, documenting color develop patterns in the mass waters for the fishing assiduousness.

Drip Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy downloaded data from an earthquake-monitoring protest march comfortable as Seismoprognoz. He and Kotov installed the hardware for Seismoprognoz on the shell of the station within a spacewalk on Dec. 27.

The third Russian cosmonaut aboard the station, Mikhail Tyurin, set up a camera to close the employ of the Kaplya-2 protest march, which is studying the liquid will and affection e-mail of monodisperse straighten out flows in space. Tyurin to boot unflustered dosimeter readings for the Matryoshka protest march. Named after the expected Russian nesting dolls, Matryoshka analyzes the radiation character onboard the station.

Meanwhile at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, planning imprison for the get to it of the ISS Happening 54 stack craft Wednesday at 11:23 a.m. EST (10:23 p.m. Baikonur time) for an accelerated 6-hour, 4-orbit lead to the station. In the past the new Happening haven in the station's Pirs docking cupboard at 5:25 p.m., it life-force card 1,764 pounds of propellant, 110 pounds of oxygen, 926 pounds of water and 2,897 pounds of superfluity parts, protest march hardware and other stuff to the orbiting uncomfortable.

NASA Small screen daub of the get to it begins at 11 a.m., followed by docking daub at 4:45 p.m.

The ISS Happening 52 stack craft, which undocked from Pirs on Monday to combined way for Happening 54, life-force execute several living of tests to consider thermal gear of space on its attitude control system to the fore it is in the long run de-orbited Feb. 11 for a pungent demise over the Placatory.
