Science operations continue to expand aboard the International Space Station with the installation of a new research airlock over the weekend.
The seven-member Expedition 64 crew also stayed busy exploring a variety of space biology and physics phenomena.
Robotics controllers on Earth spent Saturday remotely commanding the Canadarm2 robotic arm to install the new NanoRacks Bishop science airlock delivered Dec. 7 aboard the SpaceX Cargo Dragon resupply ship. During a series of hours-long maneuvers, Bishop was extracted from Dragon s unpressurized trunk and installed on the port side of the Tranquility module adjacent to BEAM, the Bigelow Expanda

The Expedition 64 crew continues exploring how microgravity affects the heart to improve health for humans on and off the Earth.
Northrop Grumman has booked its next Cygnus resupply mission to the International Space Station for early next year.
NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Michael Hopkins partnered up today for the Cardinal Heart study to learn how to treat aging and weakening heart cells. Hopkins peered at heart tissue samples through a microscope while Rubins serviced those samples in the Kibo laboratory module s Life Sciences Glovebox.

Life science continues ramping up aboard the International Space Station as the Expedition 64 crew explores cancer therapies and heart conditions.
NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Victor Glover set up research hardware to create high quality antibody crystals Thursday morning for a new cancer study. The space medical research could accelerate the development of advanced therapies on Earth that target cancer cells.
Rubins then spent the afternoon servicing samples for the Cardinal Heart study that observes microgravity s affect on aging and weakening heart muscles. Glover participated in ultrasound eye exams with fellow Flight Engineers Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi.
