Preparations for the arrival of a visiting crew, the continuous study of how human adaptation to the small space gravity environment, the service of systems on board a cargo ship and the documentation of European landmarks from the Earth’s orbit kept the seven astronauts and spaces of space on International Space Station (ISS) is occupied this week (June 2 to June 6), the sixth week of Experedited 73.
Tribal observation
“I noticed smoke over the north of the United States and Canada a few days ago, and it took some time to understand what it was. From our point of view, it seems to form a different colored cloud,” “Air Engineer Nicole Aires, NASA astronaut, Books on x On June 3, after the discovery of smoke caused by forest fires in Canada, which caused evacuation in your provinces and the effect of air quality in several American states.
“The brown color of clouds and the fact that the white clouds overlapped my attention. I was trying to capture it daily to help understand the movement of smoke. I hope everyone remains safe!” Aires books.

The state of science
Among the research conducted on the space station this week:
Pio Monitor For two days this week, NASA Johnny Kim’s astronauts wore this Canadian tool to assess whether he could collect his health data with a comfortable wear and not to interfere in his other activities.
hypothetical – The Russian Space Association, Alexei Zubitsky, with the help of Sergey Resikov, wore a pair of VR glasses as part of a study in the ability of the vestibular system in Minor gravity To visually track the movement while maintaining a sense of balance.
Brain drain 2.0 Campaign 73 Leader Takoya Unishi from Jacqua (Japanese space exploration agency) measures blood flow from his brain to his heart using poles of this fast examination tool, which can help prevent and diagnose blood clots while they are in space.
Elvis Aires worked with the volumetric photography system, which is a 3D microscope reserved in the Keno Laboratory in Jaca, which she used to monitor bacterial samples in the depths of the seas. The illustration can lead to the use of a similar device to identify potential infectious organisms in water supply in space land.
Zubritskiy also spent two days this week in documenting the landmarks of Eastern Europe, while his colleague in crepe Kirill Peskov took pictures of the Volga River and the Arral Sea to evaluate the post -natural and human disasters.
Save
The crew also devoted time to maintaining space station systems, including:
beam – Airez and his colleague in NASA, Ann McLean, transferred the devices to storage on board Expandable Bigelow Activity UnitAnd, which is a “float” wardrobe for the station since its installation and amplification in 2016.
Paceborne Computer-2 -Kim replaced the processor of the processor for this ready -made commercial computer, which is evaluated for its ability to facilitate the research analysis without the need for Earth -based support.
PCBA – MCCLAIN has updated the fixed programs for the mobile clinical blood analyst, a portable unit used to quickly test blood samples for many research studies conducted on ISS.
Astropi Kim also transferred this computer -controlled camera from a window inside the unit unit to a different window inside European Space AgencyESA COOMBUS. Remote students use a pair of these cameras for engineering and science projects.
Ryzhikov also cleaned a heater fan and filled the oxygen generator tank in progress MS-29 (90p) Shipping spacecraft as well as Zubritskiy’s help at work to serve the neutron radiation detector in the Russian part of the space station.
Activity of the astronaut

In addition to the detailed work above, MCCLAIN work on Sofie Mist.
And I wrote in c June 6. “Fog consists of a small burning wind tunnel, a sample of cylindrical fuel, flare -up, radiant heaters, and devices. Through various criteria such as air flow speed, oxygen concentration, pressure, and external radiation level, it helps to better determine the space to determine the space better, and helps to better identify elegance in management. Space.”
“This week, I changed fuel samples and ignited them in the next scientific tour.”
Provide space for visitors
This week also included ExpeiedITIATITIAT CREW this week, preparing visitors’ arrival in the short term: IntuitiveThe fourth commercial mission is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station on a Dragon Dragon spacecraft on Wednesday (June 11), on the assumption of its launch on the time specified the day before.
Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson It will lead Ax-4 The crew, which includes the pilot Chophncho Chocolate from India and Specialists in the Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski task from Poland (, ESA) and Tibor Kapu from Hungary.
The station crew reviewed the AX-4 plan with the mission managers on the ground while MCCLAIN and Ayers, who were appointed to oversee the dragon approach from inside the station, went to the procedures. The two use a computer to review the situations it can face when the dragon approaches the orbits complex.
Onishi prepared the tablets that will be used by Whitson, Shukla, Uznański-Wiśniewski and Kapu during its scientific research mission for two weeks.
In numbers
As of Friday (June 6), there 7 people On board the International Space Station: Commander Takoya Onishi from Jaksa, Ann McLean, Nicole Aires and Johnny Kim from NASA and Kirill Peskov, Sergey Reshaykov and Alexei Zubitsky from RoskosmosAll flight engineers.
there Two satellite spacecrafts are the pavement crewDragon’s Dragon’s Dragon “Enduance” connected to the front port of the harmony, and Roscosmos Soyuz MS-27 connected to the Prichal node port.
There too Two satellite vehicles are sober shipping: Rosocmos’ MS-29 (90p) connected to the Poisk and MS-30 (91p) of the area of the Zvezda service unit.
As of Friday, the satellite station was constantly created 24 years, 7 months and 5 days.
