The Expedition 64 crew remains focused on preparations for spacewalks, while today also works on the life support systems of the International Space Station.
Several tiny satellites were also deployed into Earth orbit today from outside the orbiting laboratory.
Two cosmonauts continue to prepare for a spacewalk in their Russian Orlan spacesuits scheduled for November 18. homework. The two surveyed their construction sites on a computer and peeked out the station windows to prepare for their first career spacewalks.
This will be the first spacewalk organized by the space station’s Poisk module. Previous Russian spacewalks have started inside the Pirs docking compartment which will be disconnected from the orbiting laboratory early next year for disposal to house a new Russian laboratory module. US spacewalks are organized by the Quest airlock.
In the afternoon, NASA flight engineer Kate Rubins handed Kud-Sverchkov a selection of US spacewalking instruments that he and Ryzhikov will use on their excursion. US and Russian crew members often share tools such as cables, cameras, and helmet lights to support their respective spacewalks.
Rubins began his day by swapping components inside a device that removes carbon dioxide from the station’s atmosphere. Afterward, he worked in the dome and photographed a series of CubeSats that were deployed outside the Japanese Kibo laboratory module. The CubeSats will orbit the Earth providing information on oceanography, weather, ship and aircraft tracking, as well as satellite and GPS communication technologies.
Ryzhikov spent the rest of the afternoon checking the ventilation systems and airflow sensors. Kud-Sverchkov did a hearing test after the reviews of the spacewalk, so he contributed to the ventilation work.
Status report in orbit
Payload
NRCSD-19 (NanoRacks CubeSat Deployer – Mission 19): The crew took photos of the four NRCSD-19 deployments. For NRCSD-19, there are eight Deployers pre-assembled into two Quad Deployers and a total of seven satellites will be deployed (SpOC, Bobcat-1, NEUTRON-1, LEMUR2 (v4.7), LEMUR2 (v4.8), DESCENT and SAT -LLA). The NanoRacks CubeSat Deployer is a stackable, modular, and ground loaded launch container. Each NanoRacks CubeSat Deployer can accommodate up to six launch cases and are stacked for each JEM Airlock opening.
Food Acceptability: The crew completed the questionnaire. This investigation seeks to determine the impact of repetitive consumption of food currently available from the spaceflight food system. The results will be used in the development of strategies to improve the composition of the food system to support the health and performance of the crew on long-duration missions.
Systems
Selector valve for the removal of carbon dioxide of the laboratory (CDRA) Selector valve (ASV) 102 Removal and replacement (R&R): The crew has started the R&R of the LAB CDRA ASV 102. However, the activity is not completed due to schedule constraints. The crew will complete the procedure tomorrow, followed by a ground check. Node 3 CDRA remains the first during this period.
Termination of Operation Battery Stowage Assembly (BSA): The crew has completed the Charge-Discharge-Charge (CDC) maintenance cycle on all helmet lights, PGT batteries and two rechargeable EVA battery packs (REBA in the BSA and has stored all the materials.
Regenerative Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLSS) Recycle Tank Unloading / Refilling: The crew set up the recycling tank to drain into a ЕДВ-У. After setup, the ground performed tank drain using the Urine Transfer System (UTS). Once the ground specialists completed the transfer, the crew verified that the recycle tank was empty, finished draining, and repositioned the fill / drain valve to refill.
