ISS Report

摘要

On 9 October, the United States Orbital Segment Crew (USOS) of Koch, Morgan, Meir and Parmitano had a light-duty day ahead of the next EVA. Their Russian colleagues examined how leg veins adapt to weightlessness and worked with the Algometriya experiment which studies pain sensitivity in space.Morgan and Koch made final preparations on 10 October for their spacewalk. Morgan also observed and photographed protein crystals to support cancer research for NASA's Microgravity Crystals experiment and Koch explored sequencing the DNA of microbes living on the station as part of NASA's Biomolecule Extraction and Sequencing Technology (BEST) investigation. Meir worked with JAXA's Human Cerebral Autoregulation during Long-Duration Spaceflight experiment, which studies how blood flow to the brain adjusts in microgravity, whilst Skvortsov and Skripochka used the Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) suit to examine the flow of blood in crewmembers' bodies.
