ISS Crew Works With Science Experiments
ISS Crew Works With Science Experiments
The Expedition 10 crew focussed on science experiments and medical activities Tuesday aboard the International Space Station. Commander Leroy Chiao conducted another session with the Binary Colloid Alloy Test 3, which is studying the long-term behavior of colloids -- fine particles suspended in a fluid -- in a microgravity environment, where the effects of sedimentation and convection are removed. Crewmembers will even out the samples, photograph the growth and formations of the colloids, and downlink the images for analysis. Meanwhile, Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov participated in a Russian experiment that is studying the heart at rest. Both crewmembers took part in routine medical assessments and recorded the data. In other activities, the crew monitored ISS systems and continued troubleshooting on a Russian navigation system. -- --------------------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
