Expedition 8 Commander and Science Officer Michael Foale conducts an inspection of the Microgravity Science Glovebox. ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter, STS-116 mission specialist, works with the Passive Observatories for Experimental Microbial Systems in Micro-G (POEMS) payload in the Minus Eighty Degree Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) inside the Destiny laboratory.
Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams bungeed to the TVIS treadmill aboard the International Space Station. The Treadmill with Vibration Isolation Stabilization System, commonly abbreviated as TVIS, is a treadmill for use on board the International Space Station and is designed to allow astronauts to run without vibrating delicate microgravity science experiments in adjacent labs.
It was originally scheduled for launch to the International Space Station (ISS) in June 2017. [4] It was then delayed until a scheduled launch on a SpaceX CRS-12 rocket in August 2017. [5] It was finally launched on May 21, 2018. [2] The initial mission had a duration of 12 months with up to five years of extended operation. [4]
MISSE-5 contained three investigations. One experiment the Forward Technology Solar Cell Experiment (FTSCE), a performance test of 36 solar cells for use on future spacecraft. The second investigation measured the degradation of more than 200 flexible materials in the space environment.
Experiment Airlock berthed to Nauka, while egressing payloads onto the outside of the station . The airlock, Shk, is designed for a payload with dimensions up to 1,200 mm × 500 mm × 500 mm (47 in × 20 in × 20 in), has a volume of 2.1 m 3, weight of 1050 kg and consumes 1.5 kW of power at the peak.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a particle physics experiment module that is mounted on the International Space Station (ISS). [4] The experiment is a recognized CERN experiment (RE1). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The module is a detector that measures antimatter in cosmic rays ; this information is needed to understand the formation of the universe ...
The US National Lab conducts research in life sciences, physical sciences, technology development and remote sensing for a wide variety of academic, government and commercial users. [3] Researchers choose to conduct experiments in space because of the unique effects that microgravity, or weightlessness, has on physical and biological phenomena ...
