Expedition 10 Continues Maintenance Aboard the ISS
Expedition 10 Continues Maintenance Aboard the ISS
After enjoying a three-day holiday weekend aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov tackled a busy schedule Tuesday. They conducted maintenance efforts on the Russian Elektron oxygen-generation system. They tried to troubleshoot gas bubbles in the plumbing of the system, which shut down Saturday morning. Tuesday's efforts were not successful due to an equipment problem. Russian ground controllers are assessing the situation. Also, controllers used the oxygen from the ISS Progress 16 spacecraft to repressurize the Station's atmosphere. On the science front, the Expedition 10 crewmembers conducted a session with a European biomedical experiment that is studying the effects on space travel on the perception and process of memorizing orientation and location in a virtual reality environment. Chiao and Sharipov recorded their body mass and calf measurements for a Russian biomedical assessment studying changes in the human body during spaceflight. In other activities, Chiao and Sharipov continued to unload cargo from the ISS Progress 16 cargo craft and performed their daily exercise regimen. -- -------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
