Botany and human research were the main research themes aboard the International Space Station today. Meanwhile, the Expedition 65 crew is also staying focused on spacewalk preparations and orbital lab maintenance. Space agriculture is key to sustaining human spaceflight as NASA and its international partners plan future missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Today, …
By Sara Blumberg, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Inia Soto Ramos, Universities Space Research Association / GREENBELT, MARYLAND / Pandemics can change the plans of nearly everything, including ocean research. That's exactly what happened with EXPORTS. In 2019, the original North Atlantic Expedition along with its active research projects were cancelled. Despite the setback, …
Payloads: ACME (Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments): A crewmember replaced CIR Manifold #4 with a new C4H10 (Butane) and C2H6 (Ethane) bottles and replaced O2 bottles in Manifold #2. The Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME) project is a set of six independent studies of gaseous flames to be conducted in the Combustion Integrated Rack …
Tuesday aboard the International Space Station was packed with human research activities helping doctors understand how the Expedition 65 crew is adapting to microgravity. Meanwhile, preparations are ramping up for a Russian spacewalk scheduled for next week. Four astronauts took turns during the afternoon using the Ultrasound 2 device for artery scans. NASA Flight Engineer …
By Sara Blumberg, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Inia Soto Ramos, Universities Space Research Association / GREENBELT, MARYLAND / When we talk about climate change, we tend to think of lush forests with giant trees that passively trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use them for food in a process called photosynthesis. The …
Payloads: CBEF-L (Cell Biology Experiment Facility-L): Today, Crew verified the cable connections and sensors for the 1G Centrifuge in preparation of future operations. CBEF-L is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) new subrack facility, which is an upgraded facility of the original Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS). CBEF-L …
NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has selected proposals for the solicited SAGE III on ISS Science Team program. The individuals selected for this team, from a variety of diverse institutions, will conduct studies using the data from the SAGE III instrument to help better understand the composition of Earth’s atmosphere and how it’s evolving. These ten […]
The Expedition 65 crew started the workweek on space biology and orbital plumbing aboard the International Space Station. Meanwhile, two cosmonauts are also gearing up for their first career spacewalks set to begin next week. The immune system, protein crystals and cell biology dominated the science schedule aboard the orbital lab today. The space life …
As we approach month’s end, there is not one, not two, but three celestial events happening with our Moon! The Moon will be located on Earth’s opposite side from the Sun and fully illuminated May 26, 2021, at 6:13 a.m. CDT. This Full Moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Flower Moon …
