The STS-123 and Expedition 16 crews will bid one another farewell, and the hatches between the two spacecraft will close at 5:13 p.m. EDT. Endeavour is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station at 7:56 p.m., ending its 12-day stay at the orbital outpost. STS-123 arrived at the station March 12, delivering the Japanese Logistics Module - Pressurized Section, the first pressurized component of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kibo laboratory, to the station. The crew of Endeavour also delivered the final element of the station’s Mobile Servicing System, the Canadian-built Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator.

Astronaut Jeffrey Williams currently holds the record. The 57-year-old biochemist has also performed eight spacewalks, more than any other woman, and a ninth may be in the offing. Whitson's current stretch in space was extended to September because an empty seat will be available on a Russian Soyuz capsule for her return.

Piersond a National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL), United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH; b Enterprise Advisory Services Inc., Houston, TX c WYLE Laboratories Inc., Houston, TX d Johnson Space Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Houston, TX *Corresponding Author: Stephen Vesper, US EPA, 26 West M.L. King Ave., M.L. 314, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268. Phone: 513-569-7367; email: [email protected] Abstract Dust was collected over a period of several weeks in 2007 from HEPA filters in the U.S. Laboratory Module of the International Space Station (ISS). The dust was returned on the Space Shuttle Atlantis, mixed, sieved, and the DNA was extracted. Using a DNA- based method called mold specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR), 39 molds were measured in the dust. Potential opportunistic pathogens Aspergillus flavus and A. niger and potential moderate toxin producers Penicillium chrysogenum and P. brevicompactum were noteworthy. No cells of the potential opportunistic pathogens A. fumigatus, A. terreus, Fusarium solani or Candida albicans were detected. Keywords: International Space Station, mold specific quantitative PCR, Aspergillus 1 1. Introduction Since human space exploration began, microbes have traveled with us and are ubiquitous throughout the spacecraft. Previous studies have demonstrated that bacteria, including potential pathogens, were commonly isolated in the air, water, and on surfaces aboard the Mir Space Station [12] and the International Space Station (ISS) [1,6]. Biofilms were found in the water distribution lines on the Space Shuttle Discovery [5].

MRM-1, also known as Rassvet, which means dawn in Russian, will be permanently attached to the bottom port of the station’s Zarya module. MRM-1 will carry important hardware on its exterior including a radiator, airlock and a European robotic arm. Atlantis also will deliver addi- tional station hardware stored inside a cargo carrier. Three spacewalks are planned to stage spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a Ku-band antenna and spare parts for the Canadian Dextre robotic arm.

  • Peggy Whitson
    PEGGY WHITSON THE LONGEST WOMAN TO STAY IN SPACE INSPIRING facts She holds so many records, for being the oldest woman aged 57: more days in space then any American astronaut of either gender ; more days in space then any other female in the world. The first woman to command the International space station; and most space walks of any female astronaut . She was a biochemist So she sent back as much data as she could She always requested more missions one of the reasons Whiston racked up so many space time. Is because as soon as she landed down from one mission, she requests another one. She was an accomplished space chef with her culinary experiments using freeze dried tortillas. The only 2 things she missed was non freeze dried pizzas and her husband who works on the ground at the Jonson space centre. Peggy Annette Whitson spent 665 days 22 SPACE hours 22 minutes and 36 seconds her selection was in 1996:NASA group . In total TIME EVAs 10 total EVA time 60 hours 21 minutes.

  • NASA Astronaut Peggy Whitson Returns from the International Space Station with Record-Breaking Accomplishments, September 4, 2017
    NASA Astronaut Peggy Whitson Returns from the International Space Station with Record-Breaking Accomplishments, September 4, 2017 President Trump Welcome Home Record-breaking NASA Astronaut Peggy Whitson NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer received a special welcome as they were flying home to Houston Sunday evening. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Whitson and Fischer on a NASA place following Whitson’s record-breaking mission to the International Space Station. Whitson, Fischer, and Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of Roscosmos, landed back on Earth Saturday in Kazakhstan. She and Fischer flew to NASA Johnson Space Center’s Ellington Field Sunday. “I want to congratulate Peggy and Jack for their incredible accomplishments. They make us all very proud,” said President Trump. “Exploration has always been at the core of who we are as Americans, and their brave contributions to human spaceflight have continued that great tradition.” Whitson’s records are: • She is the U.S astronaut who has the most cumulative time in space with a total of 665 days during three long-duration missions. • She is the only female astronaut to command the station twice. During her second mission, she became the first woman to command the space station. During this mission, she became the first woman to command the space station twice-- she was station commander from April 9 through June 1. • She is the female astronaut who has spent the longest time in orbit during a single spaceflight — 288 days. • She holds multiple spacewalking records: completing the most total spacewalks — 10; and most total spacewalking time — 60 hours, 21 minutes-- for a women; and having the third most spacewalking time for any spacefarer (a cosmonaut is first and former Astronaut Michael Lopez- Alegria is second) “Peggy is an inspiration to us all,” said President Trump, “especially to young women interested in or currently pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math.” This was the president’s second call with the two astronauts.

The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific research, technology development, exploration and education. As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth. This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year. Regards, MICHAEL T. SUFFREDINI ISS Program Manager 1 2 2 3 4 6 5 LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME 20 JANUARY NASA has powered us into the 21st century through signature 11 accomplishments that are enduring icons of human achievement.
