Investigation of endurance of AMg6 alloy under cyclic volumetric thermal deformation by I. Yu. Lesnyak, Z. N. Sokolovsky, S. V. Gavrilenko

“…A comparative analysis of the calculated endurance of the experimental samples with the actual endurance of the structural material (hard worked alloy AMg6) of a real orbital object such as the «Zarya» module of the international space station shows a discrepancy of no more than 12,5 %.…”

Transcriptomics analysis reveals potential mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction and T cell exhaustion in astronauts’ blood cells in space by Maria Moreno-Villanueva, Maria Moreno-Villanueva, Luis E. Jimenez-Chavez, Luis E. Jimenez-Chavez, Stephanie Krieger, Liang-Hao Ding, Ye Zhang, Adriana Babiak-Vazquez, Mark Berres, Sandra Splinter, Kristen E. Pauken, Brian C. Schaefer, Brian E. Crucian, Honglu Wu

“…However, the molecular mechanisms underlying spaceflight-induced immune dysregulations are still unclear.MethodsIn this study, blood from eleven crewmembers was collected before and during International Space Station (ISS) missions. Transcriptomic analysis was performed in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using RNA-sequencing. …”

Imaging Spectroscopy: Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing with the PSI Tetracorder and Expert Systems from Rovers to EMIT and Beyond by Roger N. Clark, Gregg A. Swayze, K. Eric Livo, Philip G. Brodrick, Eldar Noe Dobrea, Srinivasan Vijayarangan, Robert O. Green, David Wettergreen, Alberto Candela, Amanda Hendrix, Carlos Pérez García-Pando, Neil C. Pearson, Melissa D. Lane, Adolfo González-Romero, Xavier Querol, the EMIT and TREX teams

“…The system is operational analyzing real-time data on a new generation of rovers for future planetary missions, as well as identifying materials using an imaging spectrometer on the International Space Station. Four abundance models are presented, each with increasing sophistication, that are computationally fast on imaging spectrometer data and use Tetracorder identifications to produce maps of mineral abundances. …”
