The three new residents at the station (from left in the front row) are Russian actress Yulia Perekilder, Russian Space Agency astronaut Anton Shkaprov and Russian producer Krim Shipen division.
The hatch between the International Space Station and the newly arrived Soyuz spacecraft was officially opened at 11 am Eastern Time.
After 7 people have joined Expedition 65, the arrival of three new crew members temporarily increased the population of the space station to 10 people.
This is the fourth space flight of Roscosmos astronaut Anton Shkaplerov. Actress Yulia Peresild and producer Klim Shipenko will enter space for the first time. They will stay on the space station for 12 days to shoot clips for a film called "Challenge" according to a commercial agreement between Roscosmos and a Moscow media entity.
Peresild and Shipenko will return to Earth with Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy on October 16 (Oleg Novitskiy, Kazakhstan time) on the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft currently docked at the space station, and land on the steppes of Kazakhstan with a parachute. Shkaplerov will remain on the space station until March next year, returning with NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei, Roscosmos astronaut and Pyotr Dubrov on the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft. The return of Vande Hei and Dubrov will mark the end of the 355-day mission. Vande Hei will complete the longest astronaut single space flight in American history.
Since arriving at SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour on April 23, 2021, ESA (European Space Agency) Expedition 65 Commander Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Aki Hoshide have been there. On board. Endeavour and its crew are currently scheduled to return in early to mid-November.
65S launch and docking: 65S was successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 3:55 AM Eastern Time. Astronaut Anton Shkaplerov, space participant Klim Shipenko and space participant Yulia Peresild were on board. The vehicle stopped at MRM1 at 7:22 AM Central Time. The supplementary staff of the International Space Station has been increased to 8 crew members and 2 space participants, and will remain until 64S leaves the dock on October 17.
Remote luminescence analysis system (TELLAS): A crew member installs the calibration light source into the observation system to calibrate the remote luminescence analysis system. TELLAS is an experimental facility that uses luminescence and imagers to observe the tissues/genes of small living animals. This kind of in vivo observation helps to study the mechanisms related to aging in the microgravity environment. The TELLAS facility installed in the Kibo module can provide information that can help research on aging and improve the health and longevity of humans on the planet.
Fluid: A crew member initiated Science Run #2. The measurement of liquid displacement in the sphere under microgravity is related to the given kinematic representation of the spacecraft fuel tank. The FLUIDICS survey evaluated the location of the center of mass (CoM) with respect to the temperature gradient on the fuel tank representation. Observing the capillary wave turbulence on the surface of the fluid layer in a low-gravity environment can provide insight into the existing volume in the sphere.
Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) Soft Matter Dynamics and Compacted Particles: A crew member completely tightened all the connectors of the Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) Soft Matter Dynamics (SMD) harness. FSL Soft Matter Dynamics-the hydrodynamics of wet foam (foam coarsening) aims to study the bubble size and rearrangement dynamics of "wet foam". Microgravity provides an opportunity to study this "wet foam", which cannot be stabilized on the earth due to drainage. In addition, microgravity conditions are essential for studying rearrangement phenomena (such as coarsening and coalescence, separation from drainage).
JAXA Protein Crystal Growth (PCG): A crew member received the JAXA PCG #18 protein sample from the Russian crew member and started the sample crystallization. Then store the sample in the cold storage. The goal of the JAXA PCG investigation is to grow high-quality protein crystals under microgravity conditions. The crystals are then sent back to Earth to determine the structure of the protein in detail; these structures are used to develop drugs and explore the mysteries of human life. The protein sample is launched by the Soyuz or Progress Vehicle to the International Space Station and crystallized using the reverse diffusion method at 20°C.
Lumina (optical fiber active dosimeter): A crew member performs Lumina data transmission from the LUMINA device through the EveryWear app on the crew’s iPad. Lumina is an active fiber optic dosimeter that uses the ability of the fiber to dim when exposed to radiation to monitor the received radiation dose in real time. Dosimeters provide reliable dose measurement in complex environments, such as those related to electrons, protons, gamma rays, X-rays, photons, or neutrons.
Cygnus cargo operations: Today, the crew performed NG-16 cargo transshipment operations and will continue NG-16 cargo operations throughout the week. NG-16 is currently scheduled to go offshore on November 20th.
Treadmill 2 (T2) Manned Activation and Check (ACO): Today, the crew performed a manned ACO on T2 to ensure that the components are operating properly before the T2 GO is announced on the ground. This activity was carried out one day after the crew performed the countermeasure system (CMS) T2 frame centering, in which the crew re-adjusted the T2 buffer in the buffer cup. The ground checked the T2 re-adjusted photos, and noticed that some buffers were not suitable, and asked the crew to check. The crew reported that the upper left, upper right, and lower right bumpers were not aligned. T2 is a NOGO, and the ground team has developed a forward-looking plan.
International Space Station crew safety briefing: With the arrival of the 65S crew, all crew members and space participants participated in the safety briefing to familiarize the newly arrived crew with potential hazards and available safety measures on the International Space Station, and understand the initial emergency Respond to the equipment required by the situation. Some of the emergency items covered are responses to decompression, fire, and release of toxic substances. The crew also practiced using emergency exit routes and checked the hatches for obstructions.
No ground activities today: All activities have been completed unless otherwise stated.
