NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, who set numerous U.S. space records during her mission aboard the International Space Station, along with crewmates Jack Fischer of NASA and Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of Roscosmos, securely landed on Earth Saturday at 9:21 p.m. EDT (7:21 a.m. Kazakhstan time, Sept. Three), southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.

While living and working aboard the world’s only orbiting laboratory, Whitson and Fischer contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science, welcomed several cargo spacecraft delivering tons of supplies and research experiments, and conducted a combined six spacewalks to perform maintenance and upgrades to the station.

Among their scientific exploits, Whitson and Fischer supported research into the physical switches to astronaut’s eyes caused by prolonged exposure to a microgravity environment. They also conducted a fresh lung tissue probe that explored how stem cells work in the unique microgravity environment of the space station, which may pave the way for future stem cell research in space.

Extra research included an antibody investigation that could increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment, and the examine of plant physiology and growth in space using an advanced plant habitat. NASA also linked the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation (ISS Fluid) on the outside of the space station in August, which is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy.

The team members received a total of seven cargo deliveries during their mission. A Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle launched to the space station in December two thousand sixteen delivering fresh lithium-ion batteries that were installed using a combination of robotics and spacewalks. Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft arrived at the station in April on the company’s seventh commercial resupply mission. Three SpaceX Dragon spacecraft ended commercial resupply missions to the station in February, June and August. And, Russian ISS Progress cargo spacecraft docked to the station in February and June.

Whitson’s come back marks the completion of a 288-day mission that began last November and spanned 122.Two million miles and Four,623 orbits of the Earth – her third long-duration mission on the station. During her latest mission, Whitson performed four spacewalks, bringing her career total to Ten. With a total of six hundred sixty five days in space, Whitson holds the U.S. record and places eighth on the all-time space stamina list.

Fischer, who launched in April, finished one hundred thirty six days in space, during which he conducted the very first and 2nd spacewalks of his career. Yurchikhin, who launched with Fischer, now has a total of six hundred seventy three days in space, putting him seventh place on the all-time stamina list.

Expedition fifty three resumes operating the station, with Randy Bresnik of NASA in directive, and Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos and Paolo Nespoli of ESA (European Space Agency) serving as flight engineers. The three-person squad will operate the station until the arrival of NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, and Alexander Misurkin of Roscosmos. Vande Hei, Acaba and Misurkin are scheduled to launch Sept. Twelve from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

Squad Checks Fresh Exercise Gear, Fluid Observes Cosmic Rays

Astronaut Peggy Whitson is pictured at work inwards the Unity module. Unity is the knot that connects the Russian segment of the space station to the U.S. segment.

A pair of Expedition fifty two astronauts checked out fresh, smaller exercise gear today. The team also worked on a multiplicity of human research while a fresh cosmic ray detector has begun scanning outer space.

The space station’s two newest astronauts, Paolo Nespoli and Randy Bresnik, joined coerces today to measure the effectiveness of the fresh Mini-Exercise Device-2 (MED2). The MED2 is smaller and less bulky than other space exercise equipment providing more habitability room on a spacecraft. The duo worked out on MED2 and took photographs to demonstrate its capability to provide mobility and resistance during an exercise session.

Flight Engineer Jack Fischer scanned his gam artery with an ultrasound device after a brief exercise during the afternoon. The Vascular Echo probe is examining how blood vessels and the heart adapt to microgravity. Astronaut Peggy Whitson spent her afternoon interchanging cell cultures inwards the Advanced Space Experiment Processor.

The Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, or Juices, is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy. Fluid was affixed to the outside of the Kibo lab module on Tuesday after a handoff from the Canadian robotic arm to the Japanese robotic arm. Fluid was delivered aboard the SpaceX Dragon and will help determine the origin of the cosmic rays and measure their features across the energy spectrum.

Cosmic Ray Probe Prepped for Installation After Monday Eclipse

The solar eclipse was photographed by Expedition fifty two Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin aboard the International Space Station on Monday Aug. 21.

Overnight, robotics controllers extracted a fresh astrophysics experiment from the trunk of the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft. The Canadarm2 will forearm off the fresh astronomy gear to the Japanese robotic arm which will then install it outside the Kibo laboratory module.

Dubbed Fluid, brief for Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, it will observe a multitude of cosmic rays and measure their charges. The experiment is an extension of what embarked as high-altitude, long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica. The orbital data is expected to be several orders of magnitude greater than that collected in Earth’s atmosphere.

The six Expedition fifty two squad members had a once-in-a-lifetime practice Monday as they witnessed the solar eclipse from space. The orbiting crewmates employed a multitude of cameras to photograph the eclipse. They captured stunning views of the moon’s shadow against the Earth with a high definition camcorder as the eclipse darkened a coast-to-coast swath of the United States.

Station Team Finishes Week Preparing for Eclipse two thousand seventeen

The station team will have three chances to see the solar eclipse from space. The third pass will suggest the most coverage with the sun 84% obscured by the moon.

The Expedition fifty two team packaged up a busy week on Friday with more science work, cargo unloading and cleanup after a Russian spacewalk on Thursday. They are also busy preparing for the two thousand seventeen Total Solar Eclipse on Monday with the chance at several unique views of the event.

The squad participated in several studies including Vascular Echo Ultrasound, a Canadian Space Agency investigation that examines switches in blood vessels and the heart while the team members are in space. They also finished weekly questionnaires for the ESA Space Headaches investigation which collects information that may help in the development of methods to alleviate associated symptoms and improvement in the well-being and spectacle of crewmembers in space.

Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy performed cleanup tasks following their Thursday spacewalk which lasted seven hours and thirty four minutes. The duo finished a number of tasks including the manual deployment of five nanosatellites from a ladder outside the airlock.

Station squad members will have their cameras outfitted with special filters on Monday for three chances to photograph the solar eclipse from windows aboard the orbiting laboratory. For more information on their opportunities and what they expect to see, visit NASA’s Solar Eclipse website.

As a result of the impacts of Hurricane Harvey, NASA plans a modified come back to Houston of Whitson and Fischer and the science samples landing in the Soyuz spacecraft. The team will participate in standard post-flight medical evaluations. Working with our International Space Station fucking partners, NASA secured the services of ESA (European Space Agency) to come back the team from Karaganda, Kazakhstan, to Cologne, Germany. NASA’s G-5 will depart Houston on Saturday to meet the team and science samples in Cologne. They’re expected to come back to Houston on Sunday night. All necessary facilities onsite at NASA’s Johnson Space Center necessary to support team and science objectives are being checked out, and readied for the comeback to Houston.

Expedition fifty three will begin when Whitson, Fischer and Yurchikhin depart with Randy Bresnik of NASA in directive, and Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos and Paolo Nespoli of ESA (European Space Agency), on board. The three-person team will operate the station until the arrival of three fresh squad members later this month.

Squad Checks Fresh Exercise Gear, Juices Observes Cosmic Rays

Astronaut Peggy Whitson is pictured at work inwards the Unity module. Unity is the knot that connects the Russian segment of the space station to the U.S. segment.

A pair of Expedition fifty two astronauts checked out fresh, smaller exercise gear today. The team also worked on a multitude of human research while a fresh cosmic ray detector has begun scanning outer space.

The Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, or Juice, is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy. Fluid was fastened to the outside of the Kibo lab module on Tuesday after a handoff from the Canadian robotic arm to the Japanese robotic arm. Juices was delivered aboard the SpaceX Dragon and will help determine the origin of the cosmic rays and measure their features across the energy spectrum.

Cosmic Ray Examine Prepped for Installation After Monday Eclipse

The solar eclipse was photographed by Expedition fifty two Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin aboard the International Space Station on Monday Aug. 21.

Overnight, robotics controllers extracted a fresh astrophysics experiment from the trunk of the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft. The Canadarm2 will palm off the fresh astronomy gear to the Japanese robotic arm which will then install it outside the Kibo laboratory module.

Dubbed Juice, brief for Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, it will observe a diversity of cosmic rays and measure their charges. The experiment is an extension of what began as high-altitude, long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica. The orbital data is expected to be several orders of magnitude greater than that collected in Earth’s atmosphere.

Station Squad Finishes Week Preparing for Eclipse two thousand seventeen

The station squad will have three chances to see the solar eclipse from space. The third pass will suggest the most coverage with the sun 84% obscured by the moon.

The squad participated in several studies including Vascular Echo Ultrasound, a Canadian Space Agency investigation that examines switches in blood vessels and the heart while the team members are in space. They also ended weekly questionnaires for the ESA Space Headaches investigation which collects information that may help in the development of methods to alleviate associated symptoms and improvement in the well-being and spectacle of crewmembers in space.

The two spacewalkers exited the Pirs Docking Compartment Station at Ten:36 a.m. EDT. Among their accomplishments was manual deployment of five nanosatellites from a ladder outside the airlock.

They also collected residue samples from various locations outside the Russian segment of the station.

Dragon Installed to Station for Month of Cargo Interchanges

Four spaceships are parked at the space station including the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft, the Progress sixty seven resupply ship and two Soyuz squad ships.

CRS-12 is scheduled to supply more than 6,400 pounds of supplies and payloads to the station, including a sweet treat for the astronauts: ice juice. The puny cups of chocolate, vanilla and bday cake-flavored ice fluid are arriving in freezers that will be reloaded with research samples for comeback to Earth when the Dragon spacecraft departs the station mid-September.

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, who set numerous U.S. space records during her mission aboard the International Space Station, along with crewmates Jack Fischer of NASA and Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of Roscosmos, securely landed on Earth Saturday at 9:21 p.m. EDT (7:21 a.m. Kazakhstan time, Sept. Trio), southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.

Among their scientific exploits, Whitson and Fischer supported research into the physical switches to astronaut’s eyes caused by prolonged exposure to a microgravity environment. They also conducted a fresh lung tissue explore that explored how stem cells work in the unique microgravity environment of the space station, which may pave the way for future stem cell research in space.

Extra research included an antibody investigation that could increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment, and the investigate of plant physiology and growth in space using an advanced plant habitat. NASA also affixed the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation (ISS Juice) on the outside of the space station in August, which is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy.

The squad members received a total of seven cargo deliveries during their mission. A Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle launched to the space station in December two thousand sixteen delivering fresh lithium-ion batteries that were installed using a combination of robotics and spacewalks. Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft arrived at the station in April on the company’s seventh commercial resupply mission. Three SpaceX Dragon spacecraft ended commercial resupply missions to the station in February, June and August. And, Russian ISS Progress cargo spacecraft docked to the station in February and June.

Whitson’s comeback marks the completion of a 288-day mission that began last November and spanned 122.Two million miles and Four,623 orbits of the Earth – her third long-duration mission on the station. During her latest mission, Whitson performed four spacewalks, bringing her career total to Ten. With a total of six hundred sixty five days in space, Whitson holds the U.S. record and places eighth on the all-time space stamina list.

All necessary facilities onsite at NASA’s Johnson Space Center necessary to support squad and science objectives are being checked out, and readied for the come back to Houston.

NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, and Alexander Misurkin of Roscosmos, are scheduled to launch Sept. Twelve from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

Team Checks Fresh Exercise Gear, Juice Observes Cosmic Rays

Astronaut Peggy Whitson is pictured at work inwards the Unity module. Unity is the knot that connects the Russian segment of the space station to the U.S. segment.

Flight Engineer Jack Fischer scanned his gam artery with an ultrasound device after a brief exercise during the afternoon. The Vascular Echo investigate is examining how blood vessels and the heart adapt to microgravity. Astronaut Peggy Whitson spent her afternoon exchanging cell cultures inwards the Advanced Space Experiment Processor.

Cosmic Ray Probe Prepped for Installation After Monday Eclipse

The solar eclipse was photographed by Expedition fifty two Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin aboard the International Space Station on Monday Aug. 21.

Dubbed Fluid, brief for Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation, it will observe a multitude of cosmic rays and measure their charges. The experiment is an extension of what commenced as high-altitude, long-duration balloon flights over Antarctica. The orbital data is expected to be several orders of magnitude greater than that collected in Earth’s atmosphere.

Station Team Completes Week Preparing for Eclipse two thousand seventeen

The station squad will have three chances to see the solar eclipse from space. The third pass will suggest the most coverage with the sun 84% obscured by the moon.

The team participated in several studies including Vascular Echo Ultrasound, a Canadian Space Agency investigation that examines switches in blood vessels and the heart while the team members are in space. They also finished weekly questionnaires for the ESA Space Headaches investigation which collects information that may help in the development of methods to alleviate associated symptoms and improvement in the well-being and spectacle of crewmembers in space.

Among their scientific exploits, Whitson and Fischer supported research into the physical switches to astronaut’s eyes caused by prolonged exposure to a microgravity environment. They also conducted a fresh lung tissue explore that explored how stem cells work in the unique microgravity environment of the space station, which may pave the way for future stem cell research in space.

Extra research included an antibody investigation that could increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment, and the investigate of plant physiology and growth in space using an advanced plant habitat. NASA also linked the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass Investigation (ISS Juice) on the outside of the space station in August, which is now observing cosmic rays coming from across the galaxy.

Whitson’s comeback marks the completion of a 288-day mission that began last November and spanned 122.Two million miles and Four,623 orbits of the Earth – her third long-duration mission on the station. During her latest mission, Whitson performed four spacewalks, bringing her career total to Ten. With a total of six hundred sixty five days in space, Whitson holds the U.S. record and places eighth on the all-time space stamina list.

Expedition fifty three proceeds operating the station, with Randy Bresnik of NASA in guideline, and Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos and Paolo Nespoli of ESA (European Space Agency) serving as flight engineers. The three-person team will operate the station until the arrival of NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, and Alexander Misurkin of Roscosmos. Vande Hei, Acaba and Misurkin are scheduled to launch Sept. Twelve from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
