<\/a>The Expedition 67<\/a> crew\u2019s midweek schedule aboard the International Space Station<\/a> centered on installing equipment, inspecting for leaks, and a training exercise.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer\u00a0Jessica Watkins<\/a> set up the drain for an installed recycling tank for the Environmental Control and Life Support System,<\/a> a piece of hardware that provides the station with clean water and air. She also made configurations to the Plant Habitat Facility<\/a>, which monitors plants grown in space.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer Bob Hines<\/a> completed a session for the\u00a0Cerebral Autoregulation<\/a>\u00a0investigation, which assesses how the human brain regulates blood flow in microgravity. The experiment required him to wear electrodes and sensors that measured blood flow in his head and chest. Results of the study may benefit astronauts\u00a0readjusting to Earth\u2019s gravity upon their return.<\/p>\n NASA Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren<\/a> completed a photo survey of fasteners of the station\u2019s airlock close out panel. He later inspected a leak and reconnected parts for the Solid Combustion Experiment Module designed to investigate the oxygen concentration required to sustain a flame over solid fuels.<\/p>\n ESA (European Space Agency) Flight Engineer\u00a0Samantha Cristoforetti<\/a> installed a sample into hardware for the Ring Sheared Drop<\/a> investigation. The experiment examines the formation and flow of a type of protein, called amyloids, in microgravity. Amyloids are associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer\u2019s. Results of the study could help researchers better understand these diseases and aid the development of advanced materials.<\/p>\n Commander\u00a0Oleg Artemyev<\/a>\u00a0of Roscosmos and Cosmonaut\u00a0Denis Matveev<\/a> met with specialists to stage spacewalk equipment and tools. Cosmonaut Sergey Korsakov<\/a> spent time photographing microbial samples stored in petri dishes.<\/p>\n Toward the end of the day, the crew gathered to train on how to respond to an emergency aboard the station. The team practiced communicating, executing procedures, and makings decisions based on cues from simulator displays.<\/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.
