<\/a>Tuesday aboard the International Space Station<\/a> saw the Expedition 67<\/a> crew concentrate on an array of orbital maintenance tasks and cargo operations. The septet from U.S., Russia, and Italy also had plenty of time set aside for a variety of biomedical activities, life science research, and Earth observations.<\/p>\n Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren<\/a> of NASA and Samantha Cristoforetti<\/a> of ESA (European Space Agency) joined each other Tuesday morning for cable inspections inside four U.S. modules. The pair recorded and downlinked video while narrating the condition of the cable routing throughout the U.S. Destiny laboratory<\/a> module and the Unity<\/a>, Harmony<\/a>, and Tranquility<\/a> modules. The astronauts focused on key areas throughout the station where the cable work would need the most tidying up.<\/p>\n Lindgren then swapped samples from the Touching Surfaces<\/a> antimicrobial study inside the Mochii electron microscope<\/a> for analysis. Cristoforetti stowed one of the samples after its microscopic analysis then moved on to cargo work inside the Northrop Grumman Cygnus space freighter<\/a> before its departure at the end of the month.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines<\/a> began his day replacing components inside the Combustion Integrated Rack<\/a> before inventorying medical gear stowed inside Human Research Facility<\/a> supply kits. Fellow astronaut Jessica Watkins<\/a> of NASA worked on orbital plumbing gear, collected her blood and urine samples for stowage, while also assisting with the Cygnus cargo packing.<\/p>\n The three cosmonauts working in the station\u2019s Russian segment focused on their complement of space research and orbital maintenance today. Commander Oleg Artemyev<\/a> studied advanced Earth photography techniques<\/a> before partnering with Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov<\/a> on a long-running space exercise study<\/a>. Korsakov also joined Flight Engineer Denis Matveev<\/a> unpacking cargo recently delivered inside the Progress 81<\/a> resupply ship. Matveev started his day with atmospheric research<\/a> before exploring ways international crews and mission controllers<\/a> can communicate better.<\/p>\n Learn more about station activities by following the\u00a0space station blog<\/a>,\u00a0@space_station<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0@ISS_Research<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, as well as the\u00a0ISS Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ISS Instagram<\/a>\u00a0accounts.<\/p>\n Get weekly video highlights at:\u00a0http:\/\/jscfeatures.jsc.nasa.gov\/videoupdate\/<\/a><\/p>\n Get the latest from NASA delivered every week.
