Japanese Small Satellite Orbital Deployer-6 (J-SSOD6) Removal:  Following the successful deployments on Monday, the crew repressed the JEM Airlock (JEMAL) then extended the Slide Table into the cabin to remove the deployers from the Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform (MPEP). The next use of the JEMAL is the High Definition Television External Facility-2 (HDTV-EF2), a high-definition television …
Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF) Holder Removal: During the ELF troubleshooting

SpaceX Demo-2 Launch: This weekend, marked the historic launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken on NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission. The vehicle successfully launched from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Saturday, May 30 at 2:22pm CT.  Crew Dragon successfully …

Fluidics:  Today the crew set up the Fluidics experiment hardware and executed Runs 2 and 3. Fluidics is a fluid mechanics experiment with two main objectives: perform a Slosh study to investigate fluid behavior under microgravity during satellite maneuvers, and a Wave Turbulence study to investigate the impact of capillary effect on wave turbulence without …
Electro-static Levitation Furnace (ELF): On March 9th the crew was unable to complete

Payloads: Echo: The Echo hardware was retrieved and deployed in the Columbus Module in preparation for routine maintenance activities. Echo is a tele-operated ultrasound system, equipped with motorized probes that are controlled by flight controllers on the ground. The flight controller hardware expert on Earth controls the fine movements of the probes, and receives high …
Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF): In support of day 1 of the 3-day High Speed

Sarcolab-3:  With assistance from an operator, a USOS crewmember ingressed the Muscle Atrophy Research & Exercise System (MARES) chair in the Columbus module, installed the Electromyograph and Percutaneous Electrical Stimulation (PEMS) device and adjusted pads and constraints for the Sarcolab-3 ankle protocol.  The operator then collected ultrasound images of the subject’s right leg during exercise …

Biochemical Profile: the crew completed Urine and Blood collections today. The Biochemical Profile investigation tests blood and urine samples obtained from astronauts before, during, and after spaceflight. Specific proteins and chemicals in the samples are used as biomarkers, or indicators of health. Post-flight analysis yields a database of samples and test results which scientists can …
Electro-static Levitation Furnace (ELF): Today the crew cleaned and exchanged sample

Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) Universal Docking Port (UDP): The crew completed a test run for the SPHERES UDP payload. They loaded the test software and performed the session with ground support staff direction. Objectives of the UDP session are to demonstrate a reliably successful docking through running multiple, repeatable docking maneuvers …

Fine Motor Skills (FMS): The crew performed a series of interactive tasks to complete a FMS session. The investigation studies how the fine motor skills are effected by long-term microgravity exposure, different phases of microgravity adaptation, and sensorimotor recovery after returning to Earth gravity. The goal of this investigation is to understand how fine motor …

Payloads Combustion Integration Rack/Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (CIR/ACME):  In support of the on-going s-Flame part 2 investigation, the crew removed a 45% H2/ 55% He fuel bottle and replaced it with a 45% CH4/ 55% He fuel bottle.  The purpose of s-Flame is to advance our ability to predict the structure and dynamics, including …
Electrostatic Levitation Furnace (ELF): The crew retrieved sample cartridge 3 from

USOS Microorganisms ExtraVehicular Activity (EVA) Deferral: Following the MLM radiator coolant leak and the resulting change in the environment around the ISS, the Microorganisms EVA was deferred from last Thursday, October 12th to this Thursday, October 19th. However, ground specialists continue to assess the external environment and need more time to determine possible contamination concerns …
