Among the US experiments are: ACE-T-Ellipsoids: This investigation creates three-dimensional colloids, small particles suspended within a fluid medium, and uses temperature to control the density and behavior of the particles. Colloids can organize into various structures, called self-assembled colloidal structures, which could enable 3D printing of replacement parts and repair of facilities on future long-duration space voyages. This use requires controlling particle density and behavior, however, and by designing and assembling colloids in microgravity, ACE-T-Ellipsoids provides insight into how to do so. Universal Waste Management System: Everyone "goes," but space presents unique challenges for managing human waste. The Universal Waste Management System (UWMS) investigation demonstrates the long-term use of a compact toilet together with the Urine Transfer System (UTS). The UWMS allows simultaneous use of two toilets by providing automated control of flow into the Urine Processor Assembly (UPA) or storage containers. Automated offload of this backup storage saves time for crew members. The UWMS's smaller footprint and improved technology support possible expansion of space station crew and future long-term, deep-space exploration missions. Spaceflight Standard Measures: This investigation collects a set of measurements - blood and saliva samples, skin samples, mood and sleep questionnaires, cognitive tests and more - from astronauts before, during, and after long-duration missions. These measures create a consistent set of data across the duration of the International Space Station Program that helps characterize the risks of living in space and how humans adapt to those risks. Scientists can use the data to monitor the effectiveness of countermeasures and interpret astronaut health and performance outcomes, as well as to support future human research on planetary missions. Space Organogenesis: The need for human organs for transplants far exceeds the supply, creating a need for artificial organs made using regenerative medicine technology. Cell cultures on Earth are two-dimensional, but microgravity may enable growth of cell cultures in three dimensions without using artificial structures. Development of Advanced 3D Organ Culture System Utilizing the Microgravity Environment (Space Organogenesis) demonstrates growth of 3D organ buds from human stem cells in microgravity and analyzes changes in gene expression in the cells. This experiment represents an important first step toward growing artificial organs.</DIV></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <H3>EVA data</H3> <TABLE BGCOLOR="#80FF80" BORDER="4" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Name</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Start</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">End</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Duration</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Mission</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Airlock</TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER" BGCOLOR="#33CC33" HEIGHT="29">Suit</TD> </TR> <TR ONMOUSEOVER="this.bgColor='#FFFF80'" ONMOUSEOUT="this.bgColor='#80FF80'"> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP" HEIGHT="29"><A ONMOUSEOVER="Tip('Extra Vehicular Activity')" ONMOUSEOUT="UnTip()">EVA</A></TD> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP" HEIGHT="29"><A HREF="../../bios/astronauts/english/cassidy_christopher.htm" TARGET="wall">Cassidy</A>, Christopher</TD> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP" HEIGHT="29">26.06.2020, 11:32 <A ONMOUSEOVER="Tip('Coordinated Universal Time = GMT = Greenwich Mean Time')" ONMOUSEOUT="UnTip()">UTC</A></TD> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP">26.06.2020, 17:39 <A ONMOUSEOVER="Tip('Coordinated Universal Time = GMT = Greenwich Mean Time')" ONMOUSEOUT="UnTip()">UTC</A></TD> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP">6h 07m</TD> <TD>ISS-63</TD> <TD NOWRAP="NOWRAP"><A ONMOUSEOVER="Tip('The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.
