Crew Begins Week With Science Experiments
New Workweek Begins Aboard the International Space Station
Science experiments garnered the attention of Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov on Monday as they began a new workweek aboard the International Space Station. Beginning before breakfast, the crewmembers worked with biomedical experiments, including a Russian experiment studying changes in the human body during space flight. For this investigation, they recorded their body mass and calf measurements. In preparation for this week's Active Rack Isolation System activities, Chiao supported a ground-commanded power-up of Express Rack 3 by activating the rack's laptop computer for an initial checkout. Meanwhile, Sharipov installed and activated a new Russian spectrometer instrument in the DC1 docking compartment as a test for science activities planned for next year. In other activities, the crewmembers reconfigured computers on the Station and took routine water samples. They also conducted their daily exercise regimen and maintained ISS systems. -- -------------- Jacques :-) www.spacepatches.info |
