Station Crew Busy with Cargo Ship Ops and Space Research<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Expedition<\/a>
Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Megan McArthur works on a protein crystal experiment potentially benefitting pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies on Earth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cargo operations continue at the International Space Station<\/a> as a Russian resupply ship gets ready for docking tonight and a U.S. spaceship prepares for undocking next week. The Expedition 65<\/a> crew is also staying focused today on life science and physics research.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s ISS Progress 78<\/a> cargo craft is orbiting Earth today fine-tuning its maneuvers as it heads toward the orbiting lab. Cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy<\/a> and Pyotr Dubrov<\/a> will be monitoring Progress as it approaches the station\u2019s Poisk module<\/a> for an automated docking at 9:03 p.m. EDT. NASA TV begins its live broadcast at 8:15 p.m. on the agency\u2019s website<\/a> and the NASA app<\/a>,.<\/p>\n

NASA Flight Engineers Megan McArthur<\/a>, Shane Kimbrough<\/a> and Mark Vande Hei<\/a> joined Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet<\/a> of ESA (European Space Agency) on Thursday and continued readying the Cargo Dragon for its undocking on July 6 at 11:05 a.m. EDT<\/a>. The quartet is packing and organizing Dragon before final loading of critical research samples begins on Monday for analysis back on Earth.<\/p>\n

Microgravity research has been proceeding apace as always with the astronauts exploring an array of space phenomena today. Commander Akihiko Hoshide<\/a> worked on the Plant Habitat Facility<\/a> throughout the day preparing for upcoming botany research. McArthur peered at protein crystals<\/a> through a microscope before investigating how microgravity affects bacteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kimbrough conducted operations inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox<\/a> exploring ways to harness nanoparticles<\/a> to fabricate and manufacture new materials. Vande Hei serviced the Cold Atom Lab<\/a>, a research device that explores the physics of temperatures near absolute zero, preparing some components for return to Earth aboard Dragon next week.<\/p>\n
