Cardiac research to advance human health on Earth and in space was the main research objective aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday, April 11. The Expedition 69 crew members are also packing a cargo craft for its return to Earth and preparing for a series of spacewalks.and Sultan Alneyadi of UAE took turns supporting the Cardinal Health 2 experiment on Tuesday.
Two cosmonauts continue gearing up for a series of spacewalks set to begin on Tuesday, April 18. Commander Sergey Prokopyev and Flight Engineer Dmitri Petelin will work over three spacewalks to maneuver an experiment airlock and a radiator from the Rassvet module to the Nauka science module. The duo spent the day readying their Orlan spacesuits inside the Poisk module, checking for pressure leaks, and installing suit batteries and other components.
At the beginning of the day, Prokopyev took part in a cardiac study with assistance from Flight Engineer Andrey Fedyaev. Fedyaev attached sensors to Prokopyev and photographed the experiment activities that monitor a cosmonaut’s blood circulation in microgravity. Fedyaev then spent the rest of his day on computer maintenance, station window inspections, and a fitness test on a treadmill.
