NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley is sending five biology experiments into space on SpaceX’s 21st commercial cargo resupply mission to
The study examines the role of a gene – Cdkn1a – that produces the CDKN1A protein
Rodent research, microbe sampling and Dragon packing filled the Expedition 65 crew’s day at the end of the week aboard the International Space Station. Three orbital residents are also preparing their Soyuz crew ship to switch docking ports next week. NASA Flight Engineers Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough started their day observing mice once again …
The space biology study is helping scientists identify genes and observe cell functions
Ocular Health (OH): With Cristoforetti assisting as the CMO, Virts completed his Ocular Health ultrasound. Ultrasound scans were performed of his eyes, followed by cardiac echo measurements as part of the Ocular Health data collection. The ultrasound images will be used to identify changes in globe morphology, including flattening of the posterior globe, and document …
Gene, Immune and Cellular Responses to Single and Combined Space Flight Conditions-B
Today, Expedition 56 crewmates balanced work on science investigations in between housekeeping duties aboard the International Space Station. The crew retrieved samplers as part of the Aerosol Sampling Experiment that had been deployed the day before in Nodes 1 and 3. After connecting them to chargers, they were redeployed for a second round of sampling. …
plan to sequence whole genomes of the space-grown algal populations to identify genes
Two NASA astronauts are getting their tools and spacesuits ready for Sunday’s spacewalk to ready the International Space Station for new solar arrays. Meanwhile, the rest of the Expedition 64 crew focused on a variety of space research on Thursday. NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Victor Glover are finalizing their preparations for a planned …
preparations for a planned six-and-a-half hour spacewalk set to begin Sunday at 6 a.m.
The Expedition 65 astronauts worked on a biology study today exploring how long-term microgravity affects skin and the healing process. Three other crewmates are gearing up for next week’s relocation of their Soyuz crew ship to the International Space Station’s newest science module. NASA Flight Engineers Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough continued the Rodent Research-1 …
The space biology study seeks to identify genes and observe cell functions that are
Payloads Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) / Advanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME): The crew performed the steps necessary to lubricate the quick disconnect (QD) for the gas chromatograph argon gas bottle. They also replaced the N2/O2 gas bottle at manifold 2 and installed an ethane fuel bottle at the manifold 4 location. This was performed …
However, how cells utilize gravity for their gene expression has remained largely
The Expedition 65 astronauts researched space biology while preparing for a pair of spacewalks aboard the International Space Station today. The station’s two cosmonauts cleared their schedules and relaxed aboard the orbital lab today. Flight Engineers Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet spent part of Monday getting ready for a spacewalk set to begin Wednesday at …
