Operations and experiments on the International Space Station September 29 2011
Russian Federal Space Agency cosmonaut September 29 Sergei Volkov, flight engineer of ISS will then switch channel dispatches «Regulus-Package» for the second set of electronic control and communication systems, «Regul-OS», put the deleted equipment in the cargo ship «Progress M-10M» and conduct a mandatory maintenance life support systems (coolant).Among the scientific experiments planned for the ISS RS, a Russian cosmonaut will perform: Biomedical research: study of growth and development of higher plants, as well as the development of the technology of their cultivation in microgravity («Plants-2»); applied to the problem of ecological safety of space technology and planetary quarantine («Biorisk»). The experiments on 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»); to study the effect of microgravity 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»). Exploration of the solar system: study of fast and thermal neutrons («BTN-Neutron»). 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»). Experiments on Remote Sensing of the Earth: study of the characteristics of the underlying surface, ocean and atmosphere («microwave radiometry»). Experiments on geophysics and exploration of near space: Monitoring seismic effects bursts of high energy particles in near-Earth space («Splash»); study of atmospheric gamma bursts and optical radiation in terms of thunderstorm activity («Lightning-Gamma»); experimental development of an Earth-space system for monitoring and forecasting of natural and technological disasters («Hurricane»). Technical research and experiments: testing of equipment and demonstration of Russian technology round-trip information Space laser line («SLS» standby) 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).
