Vein and artery scans topped the day for Commander Tom Marshburn of NASA as he hooked up sensors to himself and operated an ultrasound scan to watch how microgravity is affecting his blood vessels and coronary heart.

Maurer additionally joined NASA Flight Engineer Kayla Barron and took turns swapping out analysis furnaces contained in the Supplies Science Laboratory rack positioned within the U.S. Future laboratory module. Barron then took a robotics take a look at as a part of a month-to-month psychological evaluation to grasp how residing in area impacts a crew member’s conduct and efficiency.

NASA Flight Engineer Raja Chari and Roscosmos Flight Engineer Oleg Artemyev labored on cargo transfers of their respective cargo ships. Chari organized cargo inside Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus cargo ship after a morning of changing elements inside an oxygen generator. Artemyev up to date the Russian stock administration system and picked up gadgets for disposal contained in the ISS Progress 79 resupply ship.

Veteran cosmonaut Artemyev can also be getting for the fourth spacewalk of his profession at present focused for April 18. He and first-time space-flyer Denis Matveev are accumulating their spacewalk instruments and configuring the Poisk module the place they may exit of their Orlan spacesuits in lower than two weeks. The duo is reviewing the procedures crucial to arrange the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module for Europe’s first station robotic arm. Cosmonaut and Flight Engineer Sergey Korsakov spent the day servicing air con gear within the orbiting lab’s Russian section.
