NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 16 December, 2020 - Exploring Heart Cells, Muscles Status Report - Source: SpaceRef Space biology was the dominant research theme aboard the International Space Station today. The Expedition 64 crew explored heart cells, muscles and more to understand how microgravity impacts the human body. The Cardinal Heart study has been under way all week with the crew observing engineered heart tissue samples through a microscope in Japan's Kibo laboratory module. The samples are being processed inside the Life Sciences Glovebox to help researchers unders...

NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 14 December, 2020 - Orbital Plumbing Status Report - Source: SpaceRef South Padre Island in Texas. Cardiac research and orbital plumbing were the Monday highlights for the Expedition 64 crew aboard the International Space Station. Flight Engineer Kate Rubins peered through a microscope at heart tissue samples today for the Cardinal Heart study. The microgravity study may provide new insights and advanced therapies for heart conditions on Earth and in space. For the Vascular Echo experiment today, Flight Engineer Victor Glover strapped on a Dopp...

NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 11 December, 2020 Status Report - Source: SpaceRef NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 11 December, 2020. Today: Payloads - JAXA Low Temp PCG: The crew retrieved the Low Temp PCG Sample from cold stowage and initiated protein crystal growth with historical documentation of the sample condition. The PCG Sample was re-inserted back into cold stowage. The objective of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Low Temperature Protein Crystallization Growth (JAXA Low Temp PCG) investigation is to grow high quality protein crystals in microgravity. The c...

NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 15 December, 2020 - Microgravity and the Heart Status Report - Source: SpaceRef Expedition 64 Flight Engineer Victor Glover reviews research procedures on a computer. The Expedition 64 crew continues exploring how microgravity affects the heart to improve health for humans on and off the Earth. Northrop Grumman has booked its next Cygnus resupply mission to the International Space Station for early next year. NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Michael Hopkins partnered up today for the Cardinal Heart study to learn how to treat aging and wea...

NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 10 December 2020 - The Cardinal Heart Study Status Report - Source: SpaceRef Expedition 64 Flight Engineer Kate Rubins. Life science continues ramping up aboard the International Space Station as the Expedition 64 crew explores cancer therapies and heart conditions. NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Victor Glover set up research hardware to create high quality antibody crystals Thursday morning for a new cancer study. The space medical research could accelerate the development of advanced therapies on Earth that target cancer cells. Rubins ...
