<\/a>Human research and space physics comprised the majority of the science schedule aboard the International Space Station<\/a> on Tuesday. The Expedition 67<\/a> crew members also worked on U.S. and Russian cargo ships while preparing for two spacewalks.<\/p>\n Vein and artery scans topped the day for Commander Tom Marshburn<\/a> of NASA as he attached sensors to himself and operated an ultrasound scan to observe how microgravity is affecting his blood vessels and heart<\/a>. Flight Engineer Matthias Maurer<\/a> of ESA (European Space Agency) turned on the Bio-Monitor<\/a> and connected it to a vest he wore that measured and recorded his vital signs while he was going about his daily activities aboard the station.<\/p>\n Maurer also joined NASA Flight Engineer Kayla Barron<\/a> and took turns swapping out research furnaces inside the Materials Science Laboratory<\/a> rack located in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module<\/a>. Barron then took a robotics test as part of a monthly psychological assessment to understand how living in space affects a crew member\u2019s behavior and performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer Raja Chari<\/a> and Roscosmos Flight Engineer Oleg Artemyev<\/a> worked on cargo transfers in their respective cargo ships. Chari organized cargo inside Northrop Grumman\u2019s Cygnus cargo ship<\/a> after a morning of replacing components inside an oxygen generator. Artemyev updated the Russian inventory management system and collected items for disposal inside the ISS Progress 79<\/a> resupply ship.<\/p>\n Veteran cosmonaut Artemyev is also getting for the fourth spacewalk of his career currently targeted for April 18. He and first-time space-flyer Denis Matveev<\/a> are collecting their spacewalk tools and configuring the Poisk module<\/a> where they will exit in their Orlan spacesuits in less than two weeks. The duo is reviewing the procedures necessary to prepare the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module<\/a> for Europe\u2019s first station robotic arm. Cosmonaut and Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov<\/a> spent the day servicing air conditioning gear in the orbiting lab\u2019s Russian segment.<\/p>\n Get The Details…<\/a><\/p>\n Mark Garcia <\/p>\n Powered by WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Human research and space physics comprised the majority of the science schedule aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday.
