The seven orbital residents that comprise the Expedition 65<\/a> crew aboard the International Space Station<\/a> took a well-deserved day off on Monday. May looks to be relaxed month, following a very busy April<\/a>, with no spacecraft activities on the calendar until June.<\/p>\n

It was a three-day weekend on the orbiting lab today as the five astronauts and two cosmonauts took Monday off. The septet cleared its schedule for personal activities such as looking at the Earth below, talking to family, watching movies and playing games.<\/p>\n

The crewmates continued their daily workouts as each crew member exercises about two hours a day to counteract the lack of gravity on their bodies. There are U.S. and Russian treadmills, an exercise cycle<\/a> and an advanced resistive exercise device<\/a> that the space residents use to maintain muscle and bone health in weightlessness.<\/p>\n

There were also urine sample collections aboard the orbital lab today which are part of a variety of ongoing studies into the effects of long-term spaceflight on humans. Those samples were stowed in a science freezer<\/a> for later analysis by scientists on Earth.<\/p>\n

The next cargo mission planned to replenish the Expedition 65 crew is targeted for launch on June 3<\/a>. The SpaceX Cargo Dragon will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center and dock on June 4 to the Harmony module<\/a>\u2019s space-facing international adapter. The Cargo Dragon will deliver new solar arrays<\/a> to augment the space station\u2019s power system.<\/p>\n
