Understanding and overcoming the human risks from space radiation is one of the major challenges facing future space exploration. RadMap Telescope: The RadMap Telescope was installed in preparation for future operations. Immunity Assay targets to investigate the impact of space-flight stressors on cellular immune functions ex vivo using a new in vitro Delayed Type Hypersensitivity assay set-up. Immunity Assay: Four Immunity Assay Reaction Tube Ziplock Bags, stowed into ICEBERG-2, were audited. Research performed using HRF-1 provides data to help scientists understand how the human body adapts to long-duration spaceflight. HRF-1 provides an on-orbit laboratory that enables scientists conducting human life science research to evaluate the physiological, behavioral, and chemical changes induced by space flight. Human Research Facility-1 (HRF-1): An inventory of the HRF Supply Kit Purple, the HRF Supply Kit Green, and the Urine Collection Kits via Stow Track was performed. With the Confocal Microscope, data can be obtained on the fundamental nature of cellular and tissue structure and functions in real-time. Confocal microscopy uses spatial filtering techniques to eliminate out-of-focus light or glare in specimens with thicknesses exceeding the immediate plane of focus. The Confocal Space Microscope (Confocal Microscope) is a JAXA facility that provides fluorescence images of biological samples aboard the ISS. The protein crystal and impurity interactions are managed and monitored jointly by both scientists on the ground and the ISS crew.Ĭonfocal Space Microscopy: The two checkout samples were removed from the Thermal Container on the Microscope and the Temp Logger was installed. The crystals grown on the ISS are returned to Earth and characterized using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The Effects of Impurities on Perfection of Protein Crystals, Partition Functions, and Growth Mechanisms (Advanced Nano Step) experiment monitors and records how the incorporation of specific impurity molecules affect the development and quality of protein crystals, as they grow in a quartz cell aboard the ISS. The data is stored in non-volatile memory within the Actiwatch until they are downloaded for analysis.Īdvanced Nano Step: The Nano Step Cartridge with Nano Step Specimen Cell-5 and Nano Step Circuit Box was installed into the Solution Crystallization Observation Facility (SCOF). The Actiwatch-Plus is a waterproof, non-intrusive, sleep-wake activity monitor worn on the wrist of a crewmember and contains a miniature uniaxial accelerometer that produces a signal as the subject moves.
Actiwatch-Plus: Actiwatch devices were attached to the HRF-1 rack for data downlink and charging.
