ISS Daily Summary Report – 03/17/16

Ocular Health (OH) Cardiac Operations: With operator assistance and remote guidance from the OH ground team, Kopra and Peake administered blood pressure measurements and ultrasound scanning activities which support the Health Maintenance System (HMS) eye ultrasound exam.  Crew members’ bodies change in a variety of ways during space flight, and some experience impaired vision. Tests monitor microgravity-induced visual impairment as well as changes believed to arise from elevated intracranial pressure to characterize how living in microgravity can affect the visual, vascular and central nervous systems. The investigation also measures how long it takes for crew members to return to normal after they return to Earth.   Microbiome:  Kopra completed a Flight Day (FD) 90 body sample collection and stowed the samples into a box module in a Minus Eight-degree Freezer for ISS (MELFI). Microbiome investigates the impact of space travel on both the human immune system and an individual’s Microbiome (the collection of microbes that live in and on the human body at any given time).   Multi-Purpose End-To-End Robotics Operations Network (METERON) and SUPerVISory control of the Eurobot (SUPVIS-E) Control Test: Peake relocated and set up the METERON laptops and Video Camera Assembly (VCA)1 prior to executing the METERON test. He used the Rover Control software on the ISS and the Eurobot Ground Prototype (EGP) on the ground to execute the investigation. During execution of METERON-SUPVISE-TST1 the rover did not respond to ground commands due to a connectivity issue. A software reset and EGP reboots did not resolve the problem. Operations were deferred while ground teams review the data. METERON tele-operates robots on Earth from the ISS to validate technology for future exploration missions where astronauts can operate surface robots from their spacecraft with ground support. SUPVIS-E is the third step of the METERON project, continuing to use the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) technology that automates store-and-forward techniques to compensate for the intermittent connectivity typical of space missions.   Cygnus Robotics On-Board Trainer (RoBOT) On-Board Training (OBT) and Self Study: Kopra completed another session of this training in preparation for OA-6 arrival currently scheduled for March 26. The procedure included a 30 meter approach, two Capture Point hold runs and 2 meter runs.   Hatch Seal Inspection: Peake completed the second of two sessions of this scheduled maintenance to clean the USOS hatch seals in Node 2, Node 3, PMM, COL and JEM. He inspected the sealing surface and hatch handle mechanisms for Foreign Object Debris (FOD) or damage. He took photos during the inspection which he downlinked to the ground for review.   Today’s Planned Activities All activities were completed unless otherwise noted.
