Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. (Fyodor Yurchikhin, Luca Parmitano and Karen Nyberg with Soyuz TMA-09M). Pavel Vinogradov, Aleksandr Misurkin and Christopher Cassidy were onboard since March 29, 2013 (arrival with Soyuz TMA-08M).

ISS Expedition 36 began with the undocking of spacecraft Soyuz TMA-07M on May 14, 2013 at 23:07:54 UTC. The former Expedition 35 (Roman Romanenko, Chris Hadfield and Thomas Marshburn) returned safely to Earth.

With the arrival of Soyuz TMA-09M on May 29, 2013 the Expedition 36 became a six-person-crew. Soyuz TMA-09M carried Fyodor Yurchikhin, Luca Parmitano and Karen Nyberg to the space station.

ATV-4 "Albert Einstein" was launched on an Ariane 5ES rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana at 21:52:11 UTC on June 05, 2013. The ATV docked successfully with the ISS at 14:07 UTC on June 15, 2013 and the hatch was opened on June 18, 2013.
The Albert Einstein supplied the ISS with dry cargo, fuel, water and air to ensure the continued operation of the station. In addition, the ATV used its own thrusters and fuel supply to reboost the ISS, in order to counteract the drag the residual atmosphere imposes on the station. The total cost of the Albert Einstein mission was approximately 450 million Euros.
On June 19, 2013, Albert Einstein conducted its first reboost of the ISS, performing a 407-second burn which provided a delta-v change of 1.0 m/s to the station. A further reboost was undertaken on July 10, 2013, where a burn of just less than 10 minutes provided a delta-v change of 1.45 m/s; this operation consumed 199 kilograms (439 lb) of propellant. By July 12, 2013, all the dry cargo had been unloaded from Albert Einstein, allowing the ATV to be filled with waste for removal from the station. Albert Einstein undocked safely from the ISS at 08:55 UTC on October 28, 2013; it then conducted a series of orbital adjustments to allow the ISS astronauts to clearly observe its re-entry. On November 02, 2013, it re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burnt up, along with a payload of ISS waste, over the Pacific Ocean.

The first spacewalk was performed by Fyodor Yurchikhin and Aleksandr Misurkin on June 24, 2013 (6h 34m). They replaced a fluid flow regulator on the Russian segment’s Zarya module. They also removed the Photon-Gamma unit of the Molina-Gamma experiment, which measures gamma splashes and optical radiation during terrestrial lightning and thunder conditions, from a portable workstation on Zvezda.

The second EVA by Christopher Cassidy and Luca Parmitano occurred on July 09, 2013 (6h 07m). The astronauts replaced a space-to-ground communications receiver and wireless video equipment and installed power and cables for a Russian multipurpose laboratory module that will be launched later in 2013. The new module will serve as a research facility, docking port and airlock for future Russian spacewalks and will replace the Pirs module.

Christopher Cassidy and Luca Parmitano performed the third EVA on July 16, 2013 (1h 32m). The spacewalk was terminated after just one hour due to an unexplained buildup of water inside the space suit helmet of European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano. The astronauts only accomplished the first two tasks on their spacewalk to-do list. Christopher Cassidy completed work at the Z1 truss atop the central Unity module to install a second set of jumper cables that will enable flight controllers to quickly reconfigure electrical loads in the wake of failures that otherwise would require a spacewalk.
Luca Parmitano, meanwhile, began work to complete installation of wiring between the U.S. and Russian segments of the station. Shortly thereafter, the water problem developed and both spacewalkers were told to stand by while flight controllers assessed the problem. Within a few minutes, they were told to head back to the airlock.

Progress M-20M was launched on July 27, 2013 at 20:45 UTC from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The launch was the first out of Baikonur since a disastrous proton-m failure on July 02, 2013. Progress M-20M docked with the Pirs docking compartment on July 28, 2013 at 02:26 UTC, less than six hours after launch.
Some last-minute items were added to the progress to assist the station astronauts with figuring out why the cooling system on one of the U.S. spacesuits sprung a leak and caused a spacewalk to be aborted the previous week. The freighter undocked on February 03, 2014 at 16:21 UTC and was deorbited on February 11, 2014.

The fourth Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency H-II Transfer Vehicle, or HTV-4 was installed on its berthing port on the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station’s Harmony node on August 09, 2013, delivering 3.6 tons of science experiments, equipment and supplies to the orbiting complex. Karen Nyberg, with the assistance of Christopher Cassidy, initially grappled the HTV-4 with the Canadian Space Agency-provided arm at 7:22 a.m. as the Japanese space freighter flew within about 30 feet (9.14 meters) of the complex. Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency joined the two NASA astronauts in the cupola to monitor the systems of the Japanese space freighter during its approach.
Kounotori 4 was successfully launched atop a H-IIB carrier rocket flying from pad 2 of the Yoshinobu Launch Complex at Tanegashima at 19:48:46 UTC on August 03, 2013.
Kounotori 4 carried about 5.4 tons of cargo, consisting of 3.9 t in pressurized compartment and 1.5 t in unpressurized compartment. Pressurized cargo include: CANA (Cabin network system for Kibo), Stirling-Cycle Refrigerator (FROST), ISS Cryogenic Experiment Storage Box (ICE Box), i-Ball reentry data recorder, four CubeSats (Pico Dragon, Ardusat-1, Ardusat-X, TechEdSat-3), and Kirobo (robot companion for Koichi Wakata). Unpressurized cargo are: MBSU (Main Bus Switching Units) and UTA (Utility Transfer Assembly) which are ISS system spare parts, and a NASA experiment module STP-H4 (Space Test Program - Houston 4).
Kounotori 4 undocked from the ISS at 16:20 UTC on September 04, 2013, Karen Nyberg then used the stations Canadarm2 to maneuver HTV-4 away from the station. Japanese flight controllers have deorbited HTV-4 on September 07, 2013 at 3:11 p.m. (Japanese Standard Time).


The fourth EVA by Fyodor Yurchikhin and Aleksandr Misurkin was performed on August 16, 2013 (7h 29m). They continued routing power and Ethernet cables for the future arrival of the Russian Multipurpose Laboratory Module, which will be launched aboard a Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They also installed on the Poisk module a panel of experiments designed to collect data on the effects of the microgravity environment in low-Earth orbit.

Fyodor Yurchikhin and Aleksandr Misurkin left the space station for the fifth spacewalk on August 22, 2013 (5h 58m). The cosmonauts removed a space laser communications system from the hull of the Zvezda service module and planned to install a pointing platform on which a small optical telescope will be installed on a future Russian spacewalk. This task failed.

Expeditions 35 / 36 continued to expand the scope of research aboard the International Space Station, operating with a predominantly six-person crew. The research mission of the station is to develop knowledge that strengthens our economy and improves life on Earth, advances future exploration beyond Earth orbit, and uses this unique laboratory for scientific discovery.

Research results from space studies provide advantages to many areas of our lives here on Earth - health and telemedicine, pharmaceuticals, physical science, engineering safety, better consumer goods, and Earth science and observation.

The International Space Station provides a global platform by which to observe our home planet. Through a unique combination of hands-on and automated instruments, the station enables observation of significant natural events and changes in global climate and environmental conditions. Within the station, an automated investigation called the International Space Station SERVIR Environmental Research and Visualization System (ISERV), is a pathfinder investigation designed to gain experience in automated data acquisition of Earth imagery. The knowledge captured from this investigation will lead to the development of enhanced capabilities that will provide useful images to support monitoring and assessment of significant natural events and environmental decision making. ISERV is a joint venture between NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

A wide variety of Earth-observation payloads can be attached to the exposed facilities on the station's exterior, one of the first of these is the NASA-sponsored Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO). HICO uses a specialized visible and near-infrared camera to detect, identify, and quantify coastal features from the space station, originally built by the Naval Research Lab. It is now a facility open to NASA and International Space Station National Lab users, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, for collecting coastal data that includes parameters such as water depth and clarity, chlorophyll content, and sea floor composition. This kind of information can tell us about conditions of the coastal ocean that impacts the local environment and its surrounding wildlife.

While these are just a few examples of Earth observation capabilities currently being implemented on the station, efforts are underway for the development of increasingly complex instruments that will be delivered to the space station in the future.

Physical science investigations during this expedition include Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions - 3 (InSPACE-3). NASA is studying fluids containing ellipsoid-shaped particles that change the physical properties of the fluids in response to magnetic fields. These fluids are classified as smart materials, known as magnetorheological fluids, which transition to a solid-like state by the formation and cross-linking of microstructures in the presence of a magnetic field. On Earth, these materials could be used for vibration damping systems for bridges and buildings to better withstand earthquake forces.

In typical NASA and international partner fashion, there are many educational activities and investigations planned to teach and inspire students of all ages. The Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites - Zero - Robotics (SPHERES-Zero-Robotics) is another ongoing activity providing students an opportunity to design research for the station, using their math skills to write algorithms while allowing them to act as ground controllers. This activity concludes with a competition.

Technology demonstrations are also an important component to station research. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is continuing performance testing on a miniaturized flow cytometer, with Microflow-1. Using a small amount of liquid (blood or other body fluids) in a small fiber-optic structure enables researchers to quantify the components and monitor physiological and cellular activity - allowing for real-time analysis of blood cells, infections, cancer markers, and other molecular and cellular physical and chemical properties. The goal of this testing in microgravity is to develop a smaller and safer operational instrument that may be certified for real-time medical care and monitoring during space flight. This technology brings the power of molecular biology not only to the space environment, but also can help reduce health care costs in remote regions on Earth. Agriculture and food processing plants may be able to use this technology for onsite quality-control inspections and tests.

The station is a unique test bed for future exploration, and benefits from these types of investigations are important to NASA, our international partners, and humankind. Data and experience from space exploration investigations benefits and furthers our ability to travel to and explore the unknown, testing our boundaries. Leaving low-Earth orbit is the next step to expand our horizons, exploring Mars, or an asteroid for instance. Ensuring the health and safety of the crew and vehicle, along with completion of mission goals, is of utmost importance.

Many investigations are designed to gather information about the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body, which will help us understand complicated processes such as immune and skeletal systems with plans for future human exploration missions. Human research investigations work to address these concerns, while information taken away is applied to similar health issues on Earth when applicable.

Currently, the top human spaceflight risk under investigation is the vision issues syndrome reported by astronauts following long-term stays on the station. Several studies have been done in response to this issue, with several more planned. The Prospective Observational Study of Ocular Health in International Space Station Crews (Ocular Health) is one of many new investigations continuing to systematically study the effects of microgravity on astronaut vision. This study will collect data from test subjects before, during, and after a visit to the orbiting lab, using a multitude of screening, measurement, testing, and imaging protocols.

Sonographic Astronaut Vertebral Examination (Spinal Ultrasound), a NASA study, is using ultrasound imaging aboard the station to track spinal changes experienced by crew members. These images, combined with pre- and post-flight MRI, will be used to track and determine risk of intervertebral disk damage resulting from extended microgravity exposure, launch or landing forces, or other unidentified causes such as radiation or nutrition/metabolism. This technology adds capabilities for health tracking and illness/injury detection during long-duration spaceflight missions. This technology, with its continued expanded usage, will help people Earth-bound who do not have access to advanced imaging like MRI.

NASA's Ultrasonic Background Noise Test (UBNT) will monitor high frequency noise levels generated by station hardware and equipment operating within the U.S. Lab and the Node 3 modules. Information gained from this investigation will assist in developing an automated leak location detection system based on the ultrasonic, or high frequency, noise generated by air leaking through a space structure's pressure wall. Information learned from this research can be used as a new approach to validate the structural integrity of pressurized systems across a broad spectrum of industries - from the station to future space travel vessels and nuclear and chemical industries using high pressure systems and vacuum vessels.

Fundamental scientific discovery benefits all of humanity by advancing our understanding of the world around us. The information gleaned from these discoveries may change the primary knowledge base regarding basic concepts and understanding, along with enhancing emerging technologies. Two excellent examples of this are the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 (AMS) and Robonaut-2, both ongoing investigations. The AMS continues to collect a vast amount of data - measuring almost double the amount researchers expected, at a rate of about 1.2 billion particles per month. The testing of Robonaut's capabilities and movement continues as planned - working through a progression of tests.

A human microbiome is the collection of microbes that live in and on the human body at any given time and plays an important role to health, as research has established. The Study of the Impact of Long-Term Space Travel on the Astronauts' Microbiome (Microbiome) is a first-flight investigation for NASA studying the importance of microbiomes to human health and immune systems and potential impact on crew member health, along with microbiome changes associated with exposures to stressful conditions like g-forces, radiation, microgravity, and anxiety.

Another first-time study involves Italian principal investigators studying evaporation and combustion of renewable liquid fuels with the Italian Combustion Experiment for Green Air (ICE-GA) experiment. Tests varying pressure and oxygen content of two selected fuels (biofuels or surrogates) will assist in developing combustion models and possible acceleration of adoption of eco-friendly renewable fuels.

Finally, the station command changed from Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov to Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin. With undocking of Soyuz TMA-08M, carrying Pavel Vinogradov, Aleksandr Misurkin and Christopher Cassidy on September 10, 2013 at 23:35:28 UTC the Expedition 36 concluded and the new ISS Expedition 37 began.
