CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida – The International Space Station had its first robot with artificial intelligence Monday, with some berries, ice cream, identical brown mice and space worms.
Worms are courtesy of the Wellsville College Biology class, which has sent its experience to space through the Spaceflight Student Experimentation Program.
The Wellsville Team Proposal, "The Effect of Ascorbic Acid on Planar Regeneration in Microgravity" Brandon Bailey, Shannon Nye, David Graham, Watson Tyler, Trinity Roulo and Nichelle Dannheim in Ross Munson's Bio class. The experiment aims to find evidence of the effects of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) on planar regeneration (worm).
The student space experience could help terrestrial scientists determine the best way to treat astronauts during a long-term space trip. The goal is to counter the effects of muscle atrophy and bone mass loss.
The effort was featured in the Sunday Spectator and the story is available at wellsvilledaily.com
The SpaceX capsule reached the station three days after the launch of Cape Canaveral, Florida. Station astronaut Ricky Arnold used a large mechanical arm to catch the Dragon capsule while the spaceship was flying over Quebec, Canada
Delivery of nearly 6,000 books included the Cimon round robot said Simon. Slightly larger than a basketball, the AI robot of the German Space Agency is destined to assist German astronaut Alexander Gerst in scientific experiments. Cimon's brain will be constantly updated by IBM so that its intelligence – and its role – continues to grow.
There are also genetically identical mice to study intestinal bacteria and super caffeinated coffee aboard the Dragon. "We are looking forward to some very exciting weeks as we unload science and we can start great experiments," Arnold told Mission Control a few minutes after catching the Dragon
. Arnold said: "It's hard to believe … until where we came from.
Most passing ships were supplied by private American companies hired by NASA to keep the space station fully stocked.
Mission Control stated that it was appropriate that the last capture took place in Quebec; the robot arm of the station is Canada's contribution. Flight controllers in Houston successfully maneuvered the Dragon a few hours later. This particular Dragon is recycled and has already visited the outpost.
In addition to Gerst, this 400-mile-high laboratory (400 kilometers high) is home to three Americans and two Russians.
