GITAI S1 Robotic Arm Tech Demo: A crewmember installed the NanoRacks GITAI hardware into the NanoRacks Air Lock (NRAL). ACME's primary and secondary goals are (1) improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollutant production in practical combustion on Earth, and (2) spacecraft fire prevention through innovative research focused on materials flammability. The ACME project is a set of six independent studies of gaseous flames to be conducted in the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR). The ACME Chamber was re-Inserted into the chamber, and the crew replaced three ACME controllers. The orbital reboost readies the station for December's planned approach and rendezvous of the Soyuz MS-20 crew ship with one Russian cosmonaut and two Japanese spaceflight participants.Īdvanced Combustion via Microgravity Experiments (ACME): A crewmember replaced the ACME Thermocouple Array with the ACME Chamber Insert partially installed in the chamber. The space station's Zvezda service module fired it engines for 39 seconds early Tuesday morning lifting the station's orbit by just over half-a-mile. Veteran cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov studied how microgravity affects the circulatory system before moving on to filmmaking activities with the other two cosmonauts and the two spaceflight participants. Novitskiy continued packing the Soyuz MS-18 then joined cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov and tested the lower body negative pressure suit that may help crew members adjust to gravity after returning to Earth. The trio will undock from the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module inside the Soyuz MS-18 crew ship and parachute to a landing in Kazakhstan on Sunday at 12:36 a.m. The return to Earth of Roscosmos Flight Engineer Oleg Novitskiy and spaceflight participants Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko is still on track for Oct. NASA Flight Engineer Mark Vande Hei had a light duty day as well as conducted a ham radio pass with students from England. Akihiko Hoshide, Flight Engineer from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), participated in a cognition test for the Standard Measures experiment before setting up the wearable Bio-Monitor that monitors crew health.Ĭommander Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) spent most of the day servicing laptop computers and swapping out science hardware in the Columbus laboratory module. NASA Flight Engineer Megan McArthur opened up the Combustion Integrated Rack and replaced components for the ACME series of gaseous flame studies today. The GITAI tech demo will test the small robotic arm's ability to push buttons, flip switches, and plug and unplug cables inside the station saving the crew time. NASA Flight Engineer Shane Kimbrough worked in the NanoRacks Bishop airlock today installing cameras, work lights and the new GITAI robotic arm technology demonstration. Three Russian orbital residents are also preparing for their return to Earth this weekend. The Expedition 65 crew kicked off the work week with robotics research, combustion, and life science as the International Space Station orbits a little higher today. ![]()
