NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm of the space station to capture Dragon when he arrives at the station.The live coverage of the rendezvous and capture will be broadcast on NASA Television and on the agency's website from 02h30 HAP (04h30 HAC) on Monday, July 2. The cover of Installation should begin at 6:00 am PDT (8:00 am CDT)
The ECOSystem experiment on JPL's ECOSystem Space Thermal Radiometer will provide a new spatial measure of the plants' response to changes in the availability of water. ;water. . These data can help society better manage the use of agricultural water.
ECOSTRESS's unique orbital perch aboard the space station will allow it to observe the same place on Earth every day at different times of the day for at least a year. the ability to track changes in the use of plant water during a typical day, "said ECOSTRESS senior researcher, Simon Hook of JPL. "Today's polar-orbiting satellites can only provide a single snapshot of evapotranspiration every day, at the same time of day. The team is ready to receive our first scientific data, expected early July. "
Research material flying in the Pressurized Cargo Zone of Dragon includes a Cell Biology Study (Micro-12) to understand how microgravity affects growth, gene expression, and ability to" grow ". a model bacterium to transfer electrons across its cell membrane Such bacteria could be used in microbial fuel cells to produce electricity from organic waste.
An observational pilot study with the companion Crew Interactive MObile (CIMON) aims to get a first glimpse of the effects of crew support by artificial intelligence (AI) in terms of efficiency and acceptance during long-term missions in the field. Space.
Among the hundreds of pounds of equipment flying at the space station is a spare lock end effector (LEE) manufactured in Canada. Each end of Canadarm2's robotic arm has an identical LEE, and they are used as "hands" that grip payloads and visiting cargo spacecraft. They also allow Canadarm2 to "walk" to different locations in the orbiting outpost.
This is SpaceX's 15th freighter flight to the space station as part of NASA's commercial refueling service contract. Dragon is expected to leave the station in August and return to Earth with more than 3,800 pounds of research equipment, equipment and crew.
For more than 17 years, humans have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and new technologies, making it impossible for scientific breakthroughs on Earth that would allow human and robotic exploration long duration. 230 people from 18 countries visited the unique microgravity laboratory, which hosted over 2,400 research projects in 103 countries.
JPL built and manages the ECOSTRESS mission for NASA's Earth Sciences Division to the Science Missions Directorate. Washington. ECOSTRESS is one of NASA's series of Earth Venture-Instrument missions – small, targeted scientific investigations that complement NASA's major missions. It is sponsored by NASA's Earth System Science Pathfinder program, managed by NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
