<\/a>The\u00a0<\/span>Expedition 67<\/span><\/a>\u00a0crewmembers aboard the\u00a0<\/span>International Space Station<\/span><\/a>\u00a0spent Tuesday predominantly on research, maintenance, and cargo transfer operations.<\/span><\/p>\n Research beneficial to humans on Earth and future crews in space is happening around the clock aboard the orbiting laboratory. NASA Flight Engineer\u00a0Kjell Lindgren<\/a> used a majority of his day to service samples for the Immunosenescence<\/a><\/u>\u00a0investigation inside the Life Science Glovebox<\/a>. Results from this study may one day inform treatments for accelerated aging processes commonly observed in microgravity and contribute to countermeasures for normal aging progression.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer\u00a0Bob Hines<\/a><\/u> inspected the Cold Atom Lab<\/a> (CAL) Moderate Temperature Loop Jumper to check for leaks. In the CAL, atoms are chilled to temperatures near absolute zero, allowing scientists to observe fundamental behaviors and quantum characteristics not possible on the ground.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, NASA Flight Engineer Jessica Watkins<\/a><\/u> set up hardware and worked on the Space Fibers-3<\/a> space manufacturing study. ESA (European Space Agency) Flight Engineer\u00a0Samantha Cristoforetti<\/a><\/u> took over Space Fiber-3 study runs later in the day.<\/p>\n Early in the day, Cristoforetti swapped samples inside the\u00a0Electrostatic Levitation Furnace<\/a><\/u>, an advanced research device that enables high-temperature thermophysics studies.<\/p>\n A larger contingent of the crew \u2014 Cristoforetti, Hines, Lindgren, and Watkins \u2014 took turns transferring cargo from the SpaceX CRS-25 Dragon spacecraft.<\/p>\n Maintenance tasks continued in the Russian segment, with Commander\u00a0Oleg Artemyev<\/a><\/u>\u00a0of Roscosmos checking for leaks in the Zvezda service module<\/a> and\u00a0Flight Engineer\u00a0Denis Matveev<\/a><\/u>\u00a0refilling freon bottles to maintain the orbiting laboratory\u2019s air-conditioning system. Matveev also set up dosimeters for a long-running\u00a0radiation detection experiment<\/a><\/u> while cosmonaut\u00a0Sergey Korsakov<\/a><\/u> worked on the Cardiovector study.<\/p>\n Learn more about station activities by following the space station blog<\/a>, @space_station<\/a> and @ISS_Research<\/a> on Twitter, as well as the ISS Facebook<\/a> and ISS Instagram<\/a> accounts.<\/p>\n Get weekly video highlights at: http:\/\/jscfeatures.jsc.nasa.gov\/videoupdate\/<\/a><\/p>\n Get the latest from NASA delivered every week.
