The crew has also been configuring the orbital lab for the new science experiments Dragon is delivering next week. Arnold strapped himself into an exercise cycle for an exertion in space study then collected his blood samples for stowage and later analysis. ROSA is an experiment to test a new type of solar panel that rolls open in space and is more compact than current rigid panel designs. As expected the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded MDA a contract to cover their work in supporting the operations and maintenance of the Mobile Servicing System on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson continued packing Dragon this morning with used hardware and research samples for analysis back on Earth. The duo also sampled BEAM’s air and surfaces for microbes. Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin, along with Whitson and Fischer, took body measurements today to help scientists understand how living in space affects body size. The Progress 68 (68P) cargo craft will undock from the Pirs docking compartment Wednesday at 9:50 a.m. Misurkin will hand over command of the International Space Station to cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov on Monday at 2:40 p.m. EST.

Canadarm2. The Progress 69 (69P) cargo craft is orbiting Earth today carrying three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the Expedition 54 crew. Vande Hei is wearing the suit bearing the red stripes, and Kanai’s suit has no stripes.

It will reenter Earth’s atmosphere April 25 for a fiery demise over the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, Flight Engineers Norishige Kanai and Scott Tingle continue training for next week’s capture of the Dragon cargo craft with the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Bresnik and Acaba will replace a fuse on Dextre’s enhanced orbital replacement unit temporary platform; install an enhanced HD camera on the Starboard 1 lower outboard truss; remove thermal insulation on two spare units to prepare those components for future robotic replacement work, if required; and replace a light on the Canadarm2’s new latching end effector installed during the first spacewalk Oct. 5. It had a better ability to move around the station, and a greater length than its predecessor. Bresnik will lead all three, with Vande Hei joining him again Oct. 10 and Flight Engineer Joe Acaba joining him Oct. 18. Roscosmos has rescheduled the launch of the Russian Progress 68 cargo spacecraft for Saturday, Oct. 14 at 4:46 am EDT (2:46 p.m. local time in Baikonur).

The crew is also analyzing the International Space Station’s atmosphere and studying how crew performance adapts to microgravity. The veteran spacewalkers will install communications antennas and replace a camera assembly during the excursion set to begin Thursday at 8:10 a.m. EDT. Canadarm2 is 17.6 m (58 ft) when fully extended and has seven motorized joints (an 'elbow' hinge in the middle, and three rotary joints at each of the 'wrist/shoulder' ends). During OA-8 cargo operations, the items marked for disposal will be swapped with new cargo arriving aboard OA-8. Canadarm2 made its debut on board the International Space Station (ISS) in 2001.The Canadian robotic arm is an improved version of the original Canadarm, which worked on NASA 's fleet of Space Shuttles for 30 years (1981-2011)..

The communication problem first experienced when astronauts replaced an ageing Latching End Effector (LEE) on the Canadarm2 last Tuesday seemed solved after it was installed a second time. NASA TV will start its live coverage of the spacewalk activities beginning at 5:30 a.m. As the International Space Program gets ready for a pair of spacewalks in February, the Expedition 54 crew was busy setting up a pair of experimental internal satellites and conducting vision checks today. Watch the spacewalk live on NASA Television and the agency’s website. Just four days after moving into their new home NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel are getting their suits and gear ready for a spacewalk on Thursday. The final lubrication of the new end effector and the replacement of a camera system on the Destiny Lab will be deferred for a future spacewalk. Flight Engineers Scott Tingle and Norishige Kanai will stay behind on the station with Shkaplerov as commander officially becoming the Expedition 55 crew when their crew mates undock next week. Byl do vesmíru vynesen během mise STS-100 v dubnu 2001. Shkaplerov also joined cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev for another exercise study, this time on the Russian side of the lab, exploring its effectiveness during long term space missions. That apparently is not the case, and mission managers have decided to remove the newly installed LEE and replace it with the one it just replaced.

The duo filled spacesuit tanks and cooling garments with water and reviewed checklists and warning systems today. Astronaut Mark Vande Hei has been helping doctors this week understand the risk of living inside the closed environment of a spacecraft for the Airway Monitoring study. *The Canadarm can move payloads up to approximately 66 138 pounds at 60cm per second, using 6 orange-sized motors. The spacewalkers will complete the transfer of a pair of older robotic hands, or Latching End Effectors (LEEs), that were once attached to the Canadarm2 robotic arm. They moved an aging, but functional, Latching End Effector (LEE) from its temporary storage outside the Quest airlock to a long-term storage location on the Mobile Base System, which is used to move the arm and astronauts along the station’s truss structure.
Canadarm2 is surely big and strong, but it's not just a brute. Kanai will be at the robotics controls inside the cupola as Tingle monitors Dragon’s approach and rendezvous.

February 17, 2018 Canadarm2 followed in the footsteps of the original Canadarm system but was designed to be housed on the ISS itself instead of visiting space shuttles. The crew also spent part of the workday photo documenting their uncommon “home life” aboard the orbiting laboratory for the Canadian Space Agency study called At Home in Space. Routine—and not-so-routine—housekeeping duties continue for Expedition 53 aboard the International Space Station in preparation for an upcoming Orbital ATK 8 (OA-8) commercial launch targeted for Nov. 11. The spacecraft is carrying almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the Expedition 53 crew aboard the International Space Station. The two astronauts concluded their spacewalk at 12:57 p.m. EST with the repressurization of the Quest airlock.

Ken Podwalski, the program manager for the Lunar Gateway at the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) gave his potato salad talk at last weeks Canadian Space Summit. Learn more about the Orbital ATK CRS-7 mission by going to the mission home page at: http://www.nasa.gov/orbitalatk. Commander Alexander Misurkin and Flight Engineer Anton Shkaplerov will be inside Zvezda monitoring tomorrow morning’s automated docking of the 69P. Following a week of successful science operations on the experiment for the Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA), attempts to retract the array were unsuccessful. ET. ET a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) to deliver supplies. Views from a camera on Vande Hei’s helmet are designated with the number 18, and Kanai’s is labeled with the number 17.

Results will help doctors improve crew health as NASA plans human missions farther and longer into space. Then Tingle joined Acaba and Vande Hei afterward for more eye checks using a fundoscope. Maximální nosnost činí 116 tun, což je hodnota dostatečná pro manipulaci i s nejtěžšími moduly stanice (cca 22 tun) případně s kosmickým raketoplánem (cca 70 tun). For Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba of NASA, their day was punctuated by an educational downlink with students from Shaker Heights High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Approximately two and a half hours into today’s spacewalk, NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Norishige Kanai completed the second major task of today’s spacewalk. Live coverage will be available on NASA Television and the agency’s website beginning at 6:30 a.m. They’ll work outside for about 6.5 hours of maintenance on the Russian side of the orbital laboratory. One LEE will be transferred inside the Quest airlock while the other will be attached to the mobile base system. The trio also familiarized themselves with the sensations they will experience flying through the atmosphere and feeling gravity for the first time after 168 days in space. Canadarm2 (myös Mobile Servicing System eli MSS) on Kansainvälisen avaruusaseman robottikäsivarsi, jota käytetään aseman kokoonpanossa ja huoltotehtävissä. *The RMS weighs 890 pounds, is 15.2 meters long, and it's diameter is 38 centimeters. It has a mass of 1,800 kg (4,000 lb) and a diameter of 35 cm (14 in) and is made from titanium. For more information about the International Space Station, visit www.nasa.gov/station.

NASA TV will broadcast both events live. The Expedition 55 crew is preparing for its arrival on Wednesday while continuing a variety of advanced space research aboard the orbital lab today. Three Expedition 54 crew members continued preparing for their return to Earth next week. NASA TV will start its live coverage of the spacewalk activities beginning at 5:30 a.m. Cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Anton Shkaplerov opened the hatch to a new Progress cargo craft that arrived today at 5:38 a.m. Whitson later began setting up gear for the ACE-T-1 (Advanced Colloids Experiment Temperature Control-1) physics study. Views from a camera on Vande Hei’s helmet are designated with the number 18, and Kanai’s is labeled with the number 17.

Based on the Canadarm1, the larger Canadarm2 is used for berthing the trusses, the commercial vehicles and inspecting the whole International Space Station.
The duo reviewed their spacewalk procedures today with fellow astronauts Scott Tingle and Norishige Kanai. The Canadarm2 will grapple and release Cygnus into space where it will remain in orbit for tests until June 22. Vande Hei is also analyzing the station’s new solid-state light-emitting diodes that are replacing older fluorescent lights.
