Analog missions prepare us for near-term and future exploration to asteroids, Mars, and the Moon. Analogs play a significant role in problem solving for spaceflight research.
On the slopes of Hawaiʻi’s Kilauea Volcano, researchers use aerial cameras and hand-held
Energy: Flight Engineer (FE)-6 Gerst continued taking urine samples and eating a special diet over the weekend for the Energy investigation. FE-5 Wiseman also collected urine samples as the control subject. Today, Wiseman and Gerst continued with the Energy investigation. Energy measures change in energy balance in crewmembers following long term space flight. Energy also …
EVA Cuff Checklist, EVA preparation, post EVA activities, Crew procedures, and hand
Payloads AC Touch: Per standard procedure, the crew touched both of the coated and uncoated coupons for this long-term investigation. Boeing Environment Responding Antimicrobial Coatings tests is an antimicrobial coating on several different materials that represent high-touch surfaces. Some microbes change characteristics in microgravity, which could create new risks to crew health and spacecraft systems …
Dust Filter Hand Over ESA Monthly Management Conference Extravehicular Activity
Payloads Drop Vibration: The crew set up the appropriate support hardware, dispensed the large water drops, and initiated the frequency scans and frequency tests. These tests occurred at several difference frequencies and on different substrates. Inertial Spreading with Vibration and Water Coalescence (Drop Vibration) examines the behavior of big liquid drops whose perimeter of contact, …

Bio-Monitor: The crew doffed and stowed the headband and Garment hardware. The crew then connected the data unit to the controller for data downlink. Although the ISS is equipped with health and life sciences research tools, the existing instrumentation for continuous and simultaneous recording of several physiological parameters is lacking. To tackle this issue, the …

Russian ExtraVehicular Activity (EVA) 45: Today Artemyev (EV1) and Prokopev (EV2) exited the Docking Compartment (DC)1 at 11:17 AM CDT in order to complete Russia EVA #45. The EVA is on-going and the Russian Crew are working to complete the following tasks: Deployment of 2 nanosatellites “Tanyusha-YuZGU” [Completed] Deployment of 2 nanosatellites “SiriusSat” [Completed] Panoramic …
Astronauts onboard the ISS test a hand-held sextant that is intended for use on future
For those fascinated by space exploration, aeronautics and Earth science, spending the day exploring the labs and facilities of NASA’s oldest field center

New Status: Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Operations: Today Robotics Ground Controllers powered up the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) and translated the Mobile Transporter (MT) from Worksite (WS) 4 to WS2. They then maneuvered the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) into position, grappled the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator System (SPDM), and released it from Mobile Base …
Crew Choice Ultrasound (CCU): Marshburn conducted carotid, hand, appendix and bladder
Such a key milestone moment was reached Nov. 5 for the team putting together NASA’s X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology airplane at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works
Instead, the assembly process resembles something more akin to a hand-crafted work
