At the JSC, a series of training was conducted on experiments, medical data acquisition, emergency response, and Extravehicular Activity (EVA).

਍ഀ

Training for EVA this time was conducted in case of experiencing decompression sickness (the bends).

਍ഀ

In order to perform EVA, the internal atmospheric pressure of the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) must be lowered to 0.3 atm of pure oxygen. In preparation for lowering atmospheric pressure from 1 to 0.3, the astronauts exercise beforehand while wearing oxygen masks to excrete nitrogen, and then take several steps before and while donning the EMU to reduce the risk of getting the bends.਍㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀ ਍㰀瀀㸀吀栀攀 最攀渀攀爀愀氀 琀爀攀愀琀洀攀渀琀 昀漀爀 搀攀挀漀洀瀀爀攀猀猀椀漀渀 猀椀挀欀渀攀猀猀 椀猀 琀漀 瀀氀愀挀攀 琀栀攀 瀀攀爀猀漀渀 椀渀 愀 猀洀愀氀氀 挀栀愀洀戀攀爀Ⰰ 瀀爀攀猀猀甀爀椀稀攀 愀渀搀 昀椀氀氀 椀琀 眀椀琀栀 挀漀渀挀攀渀琀爀愀琀攀搀 漀砀礀最攀渀 猀漀 琀栀愀琀 渀椀琀爀漀最攀渀 戀甀戀戀氀攀猀 愀爀攀 攀砀挀爀攀琀攀搀 椀渀 琀栀攀 戀漀搀礀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 琀栀攀渀 猀氀漀眀氀礀 爀攀琀甀爀渀 琀栀攀 挀栀愀洀戀攀爀 琀漀 ㄀ 愀琀洀⸀ 匀椀渀挀攀 漀砀礀最攀渀 椀猀 瀀爀攀挀椀漀甀猀 椀渀 琀栀攀 䤀匀匀Ⰰ 琀栀攀 䔀䴀唀 椀猀 甀猀攀搀 愀猀 琀栀攀 琀爀攀愀琀洀攀渀琀 挀栀愀洀戀攀爀⸀ 吀栀椀猀 琀椀洀攀 伀渀椀猀栀椀 氀攀愀爀渀攀搀 栀漀眀 琀漀 挀漀渀昀椀最甀爀攀 琀栀攀 䔀䴀唀 琀漀 甀猀攀 椀琀 愀猀 猀甀挀栀 愀 挀栀愀洀戀攀爀⸀㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀ ਍㰀搀椀瘀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀椀洀最刀椀最栀琀㈀　　∀㸀ഀ ਍㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀挀愀瀀琀椀漀渀∀㸀䴀攀愀猀甀爀椀渀最 漀砀礀最攀渀 椀渀琀愀欀攀 愀渀搀 䌀伀㈀ 搀椀猀挀栀愀爀最攀 愀猀 瀀愀爀琀 漀昀 洀攀琀愀戀漀氀椀挀 爀愀琀攀 愀猀猀攀猀猀洀攀渀琀 ⠀倀栀漀琀漀 挀漀甀爀琀攀猀礀 漀昀 吀愀欀甀礀愀 伀渀椀猀栀椀⤀ 㰀⼀瀀㸀ഀ

The purposes of training at ESA were to practice ESA-sponsored experiments and become qualified as a “specialist” for ESA’s Columbus module.

As one of ESA’s experiments, Onishi obtained his baseline data for an experiment called “Energy” (an astronaut's energy requirements for long-term space flight).

The “Energy” experiment examines how energy metabolic rates in space differ from those on the ground. The research will help provide appropriate amounts and kinds of foods to keep astronauts healthy for successful future missions. Onishi ate certain space foods and measured the amount of taken and consumed energy.

Other training covered maintenance operations and failure responses in the Columbus module.

On September 8, Astronaut Kimiya Yui attended a press conference lasting about 45 minutes.

All crew members including two short-time visitors gathered in the Destiny module for the press conference, and then answered questions from the mass media from U.S., Russia, Japan, and Europe.

In answering questions from the Japanese press, Yui discussed the importance of conducting space experiments, described life onboard the ISS, and gave a message for his hometown.

Hoshide experienced the deployment of two CubeSats for the technology demonstration mission during his Expedition 32/33 in 2012.

SERPENS and S-CUBE are both 3U-sized micro satellites (10 cm×10 cm×30 cm) that were delivered aboard the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) KOUNOTORI5.
