Station Crew Preps for Sunday Spacewalk, Works Space Science<\/h2>\n

The Expedition 65<\/a> crew is checking spacesuits and tools following Wednesday\u2019s spacewalk while also getting ready for a second spacewalk on Sunday. There was also time aboard the International Space Station<\/a> for ongoing research and maintenance.<\/p>\n

Astronauts Shane Kimbrough<\/a> and Thomas Pesquet<\/a> completed Wednesday\u2019s spacewalk<\/a> after seven hours and 15 minutes beginning the installation of a pair of new roll out solar arrays. The duo now turns its attention to a Sunday spacewalk to continue more solar array installation work on the orbiting lab\u2019s P-6 truss segment<\/a>. NASA TV will begin its live coverage at 6:30 a.m. EDT for all the spacewalk activities.<\/p>\n

Space is hard. Yesterday on our spacewalk, we encountered several issues that the entire team worked through incredibly well. @Thom_astro<\/a> took these photos and led us beautifully through a very challenging day. pic.twitter.com\/GMKBjHx2cT<\/a><\/p>\n

The spacewalkers and their assistants NASA Flight Engineers Megan McArthur<\/a> and Mark Vande Hei<\/a> began Thursday morning relaxing. The quartet then spent the day checking spacesuit components, organizing spacewalk tools and calling down to the ground for a conference with specialists.<\/p>\n

Space science continued today, as Commander Akihiko Hoshide<\/a> spent some time servicing samples for a study to improve quality and extend the shelf-life of medicines on Earth and in space<\/a>. Vande Hei also worked a couple of hours on the Oral Biofilms<\/a> experiment investigating how bacteria is affected by microgravity and ways to counteract harmful changes.<\/p>\n

Cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov<\/a> began Thursday morning exploring how microgravity impacts the immune system<\/a> before moving on and studying ways to maximize the effectiveness of space exercise<\/a>. Fellow Roscosmos Flight Engineer Oleg Novitskiy<\/a> worked on a variety of Russian station hardware and swapped samples inside the Electromagnetic Levitator<\/a> for a study observing chill-cooled industrial alloys<\/a>.<\/p>\n
