(rotating chair)@on FD5 |
The STS-90 crewmembers were awakened at 5:29 a.m.(CDT), and began Flight
Day 10 activities.
In the morning an experiment using the Visual Vestibular Investigation
System(VVIS) which was developed by ESA was conducted.
After lunch, the crew took the rest of the day off, which was the second
time during this mission. Some of the crew members enjoyed talking with
their family.
The crew will go to sleep at 9:09 p.m. CDT this evening and receive a wake
up call from Mission Control Center(MCC) tomorrow morning at 5:09 a.m.
Status of Japan related experiments
As to Japan related experiments today, MS Hire exchanged data recording
magnetic tape of the Vestibular Function Experiment Unit (VFEU). The magnetic
tape for recording neural signal is being exchanged twice a day. The neural
data has been obtained from the Fish Packages(FPs).
The experiment "Spatial Orientation of the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
" was conducted using the Visual Vestibular Investigation System (an
rotating chair) against two members of the crew. Because it took much time
to measure eye movement by the infrared camera, the third round of experiment
was canceled. The scientists are going to coordinate the change request
to conduct the experiment again tomorrow.
The feeder of the another Rodent Research Animal Holding Facility (RAHF)
which was canceled yesterday was exchanged this morning.
