Observation Analysis of Smectic Islands in Space (OASIS) Sample Exchange: Kononenko performed an OASIS sample exchange today, installing the third of four sample cartridges into the experiment hardware housed in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG). OASIS studies the unique behavior of liquid crystals in microgravity, including their overall motion and the merging of crystal layers known as smectic islands. Liquid crystals are used for display screens in televisions and clocks, and they also occur in soaps and in cell membranes. The experiment allows detailed studies of the behavior of these structures, and how microgravity affects their unique ability to act like both a liquid and a solid crystal. Sleep Log: Kelly recorded a Sleep Log entry today. The Sleep ISS-12 experiment monitors ambient light exposure and crew member activity and collects subjective evaluations of sleep and alertness. The investigation examines the effects of space flight and ambient light exposure on sleep during a year-long mission on the ISS. NanoRack Cubesat Deployer 6 (NRCSD#6) Latch Inspection and Return to the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Airlock: Kelly obtained photographs for verification of the Cubesat Quad Deployers secondary latch positions. He then opened the Airlock outer hatch, extended the Slide Table out of the Airlock, and monitored the soft dock of the Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform with the NRCSD attached to it to the slide table by the JEM Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS). Later, he retracted the slide table into the Airlock and closed the outer hatch. Tomorrow, Kelly will pressurize the Airlock and perform a leak check prior to safing the door on Deployer #6, which contains two cubesats that were not able to be launched. Plant Gravity Sensing 2 (PGS2) Run 1 Closeout: Yui closed out Plant Gravity Sensing 2 Run1 today. He removed culture dishes from the Photon Counting Units in the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF) Incubator Unit and stowed the PGS2 hardware. Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparation: Yui configured Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) suits 3003 and 3010 for loop scrubbing. Samples containing 250 mL of the water were obtained after the loop scrub activity to determine the effectiveness of the filtering. 10 mL of this water sample was used for a conductivity test and the remaining water will be sent to the ground for chemical analysis. Yui then reconfigured Loop Scrub hardware for Iodination of Ion Filters on both suits. As part of a separate activity, Lindgren utilized the EMU Caution & Warning System (ECWS) Trainer to review operations of the EMU Enhanced Caution and Warning System and practiced EVA Cuff Checklist procedures. Later in the day, Kelly and Lindgren worked together and configured EVA tools needed for upcoming ISS Upgrades EVA, scheduled for October 28th. X2R14 Software Transition: Flight Controllers continue to update Multiplexer/Demultiplexers (MDMs) with the latest software suite. Today, they successfully loaded the LSYS3 R6 software onto the LAB-3 MDM and the N2SYS2 R4 software onto the Node 2-2 MDM. X2R14 software transition activities will continue through Wednesday afternoon. Possible Conjunction with Object # 39861 (SL-16 Debris): Ground teams are evaluating tracking data for a possible conjunction with object # 39861. The time of closest approach is Wednesday, Wednesday, October 21 at 6:01 PM CDT. Concern level on the item is currently medium and teams are evaluating the potential for a Pre-Determined Debris Avoidance Maneuver (PDAM). Urine Processing Assembly (UPA) Fault: Overnight, the Urine Processing Assembly (UPA) faulted during a reprocess cycle. The error code indicated an issue with the Fluids Control and Pump Assembly (FCPA). This morning ground teams attempted to re-activate UPA but were not successful. The UPA faulted to the same failure indications. This FCPA has operated for about 1065 hours and is beyond the on-orbit Mean Time between Failure (MBTF) of 600 hours. Currently there are two spare FCPAs on-orbit with an additional spare arriving onboard Orbital 4. Teams will continue to review the data and develop a forward plan. Today’s Planned Activities All activities were completed unless otherwise noted.
