This activity is scheduled to continue through next Tuesday (10/25).ĬEO photography can be viewed and studied at the websites: The battery reconditioning was then initiated last night. The maneuver was successfully completed along with other scheduled configuration changes. Īfter the aborted reboost last night the decision was made to remain on the established timeline for the planned P6 solar array 2B1 battery reconditioning and to maneuver the vehicle attitude to XPOP (x-axis perpendicular to orbit plane) for maximum power generation.

Working on the Elektron oxygen (O2) generator yesterday, FE Tokarev replaced the BKO purification column of the SVO water supply subsystem, which purifies the water going into to the Elektron for electrolysis in O2 and H2 (hydrogen). However, the PFS hardware checkout and PFM/PAM (Pulse Frequency Modulated/Payload Accommodation Manager) calibration were complete, and real-time telemetry indicated that the PFS hardware is nominal. Yesterday’s checkout of the PFS (Pulmonary Function System) by the Science Officer was generally a success except for some errors encountered during the GASMAP (Gas Analyzer System for Metabolic Analysis Physiology) portion of the activity, leaving the planned calibration of the GASMAP unfinished. Working off his voluntary “time available” task list, Valery Tokarev performed the daily routine maintenance of the SM’s SOZh environment control & life support system, including the ASU toilet system, and also prepared the regular daily IMS “delta”/update file for automated export/import to the three IMS databases (MCC-H, TsUP, Baikonur). Later, McArthur transferred the TVIS treadmill and RED exercise data files to the MEC for downlink, as well as the daily wristband HRM data of his RED workout, followed by their erasure on the HRM storage medium (done six times a week). physical exercise program on the CEVIS cycle ergometer, TVIS treadmill, RED resistive machine and VELO bike with bungee cord load trainer. īill and Valery completed their regular 2.5-hr. The crew again had one hour each set aside on today’s schedule for ISS familiarization and adaptation, to help in adjusting to their new surroundings and activities.

Bill also prepared the new software for the HRM (Heart Rate Monitor). ĬDR McArthur worked on the MEC (Medical Equipment Computer), loading it with the new software, personalized for the Expedition 12 crew and correcting several problems that were resident on the previous version. This was the second day for the current renal (kidney) stone experiment session, with Bill and Valery collecting urine samples throughout the day and keeping their dietary/metabolic log entries up to date. Īfter configuring comm links to provide communications from the DC-1, FE Tokarev worked in the docking compartment to perform the R&R (removal & replacement) of a cold plate (PAS) of the thermal control system (SOTR), for which he had made preparations on 10/17.

Last night’s ISS reboost was aborted when Progress 19 thrusters shut down after only 117 sec into the first of two planned burns.
