The Expedition 9 crew worked with several science experiments Monday
aboard the International Space Station.
NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke conducted a session with the Fluid
Merging Viscosity Measurement
<http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/background/facts/fmvm.html> (FMVM)
experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a
property of fluids that causes them to resist flowing because of the
internal friction created as the molecules move against each other.
Researchers hope data from FMVM will provide insight to the behavior of
glasses -- materials that may be used to fabricate parts or equipment
for long-term space missions and improve future materials processing
experiments carried out in space and on Earth.
Fincke also set up equipment for the Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle
School Students
<http://www1.msfc.nasa.gov/NEWSROOM/background/facts/earthkam.html>
(EarthKAM) experiment. EarthKAM is a NASA education program that enables
thousands of students to photograph and examine Earth from a space
crew's perspective by allowing them to control a special digital camera
mounted on the ISS.
Fincke and Commander Gennady Padalka also performed their fifth session
with a Russian biomedical assessment that studies changes in the human
body during space travel. They recorded their calf volume and body mass
measurements.
In other activities, the crew conducted a one-hour training session with
the Crew Health Care System and installed new cargo containers in the
Zarya Control Module
