Operations and experiments on the International Space Station, September 21, 2011
Today, Russian Space Agency cosmonaut Sergei Volkov ISS will perform the task of testing the equipment, «Kurs-P» module «Zvezda» (axis-Y) with the equipment, «Course A» spacecraft «Progress M-10M», to perform quick lifting screw terminals on the interface module «Dawn» and block «Zarya», as well as to mandatory maintenance life-support system (coolant).Among the scientific experiments scheduled on September 21 the Russian segment of ISS, Sergei Volkov, to be implemented: Investigation of the physical conditions in space orbiting the Earth: study the dynamics of the radiation environment on the flight path and in ISS compartments, and dose accumulation in the anthropomorphic phantom, placed inside the station («Matryoshka-R»). Space biotechnology: study of the correlation between the change in genetic properties, the productivity of recombinant strains in microgravity and the effects on them of heavy charged cosmic ray particles («Biotrack»); determine the effect of exposure to conditions of orbital flight on the growth, genetic and physiological characteristics of the producer strain lactol («lactol»); study of the effects of space flight on bacteriophages («bacteriophage»); study the effect of micro-gravity on the solubility of calcium phosphates in the water («Calcium»); to study the characteristics of a cell culture of ginseng and other crops in order to identify opportunities to increase their biological activity («Ginseng-2»). Biomedical research: applied to the problem of ecological safety of space technology and planetary quarantine («Biorisk»); study of growth and development of higher plants, as well as the development of the technology of their cultivation in microgravity («Plants-2»). Geophysics and near-Earth space: study of atmospheric gamma bursts and optical radiation in terms of thunderstorm activity («Lightning-Gamma»); Monitoring seismic effects bursts of high energy particles in near-Earth space («Splash»). Technical research and experiments: comprehensive study of the parameters of the ISS as a man-made environment of the various studies («ISS Wednesday»); testing of equipment and demonstration of Russian technology round-trip information Space laser line («SLS») Standby mode. Remote sensing: study of the characteristics of the underlying surface, ocean and atmosphere («microwave radiometry»). Medical examination: estimate the level of physical fitness. The ISS crew continues to work the 29th long-term expedition composed of the commander Michael Fossum (NASA), flight engineers Sergei Volkov (Roscosmos) and Satoshi Furukawa (JAXA).
