Crew Prepares to Split Up While Researching Space Biology<\/h2>\n

NASA astronauts Anne McClain (background) and Serena Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor are pictured inside the U.S. Destiny laboratory module. McClain watches as Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor trains on the robotics workstation ahead of the rendezvous and capture of the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft on Dec. 8, 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Half of the Expedition 57<\/a> crew is getting ready to depart International Space Station<\/a> while the other half is getting used to life on orbit. Amidst those preparations, all six space residents are researching what microgravity does to their bodies while keeping the orbital lab in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n

Commander Alexander Gerst<\/a> continues unpacking the Space Dragon cargo craft today with its near 5,700 pounds of science, supplies and hardware. The German astronaut from ESA (European Space Agency) is also packing the Soyuz MS-09 crew ship that will take him and two crewmates home next week. He\u2019ll parachute to a landing aboard the Soyuz in Kazakhstan Dec. 20 at 12:03 a.m. EST with fellow crew members Serena Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor<\/a> and Sergey Prokopyev<\/a> after 197 days in space.<\/p>\n

Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor spent Thursday working with a variety of research gear supporting space biology. She processed research samples today in the NanoRacks Plate Reader<\/a> that enables pharmaceutical and biotechnology science in space. She also stowed biological samples in a science freezer for a cellular adaptation<\/a> study.<\/p>\n

The newest trio aboard the station that arrived last week are hard at work today on human research and getting up to speed on station systems. Flight Engineers Anne McClain<\/a> and David Saint-Jacques<\/a> collected blood and urine samples to be analyzed for the Biochemical Profile<\/a> space adaptation study. The duo also scheduled some time today to get used to life in space. Four-time station cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko<\/a> joined Prokopyev for more spacesuit maintenance after Tuesday\u2019s spacewalk.<\/p>\n
