  "account": "Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station focused their research on astronaut health and lunar/Earth photography on Tuesday. Commander Jessica Meir and flight engineer Sophie Adenot examined blood flow, mental state, and sleep quality through the PhysioTool experiment, while Jack Hathaway measured Adenot's muscles and tendons for Myotones investigation. Meir also monitored her rest and activity cycles for RelaxPro study and assessed peripheral vision in a visual field device. Hathaway maintained the station's environment by replacing filters in Destiny and Harmony modules. Anil Menon conducted maintenance tasks, including configuring an autonomous camera in Kibo module and inspecting the advanced exercise device in Tranquility module. Pyotr Dubrov photographed coastal landmarks in Australia and South America using hyperspectral Earth imagery. Roscosmos flight engineer Andrey Fedyaev tested his balance and direction in microgravity using virtual reality goggles, while Anna Kikina examined her ear drum and canal. The Progress 94 spacecraft undocked and burned up in Earth's atmosphere, leaving four operational spacecraft attached to the station.",
  "summary": "Exploring astronaut health and photographing the Moon and Earth topped the research schedule for the Expedition 75 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents also kept up life support maintenance following the departure of cargo spacecraft the day before. The post Astronaut Health, Lunar and Earth Photography Fill Crew’s Research Schedule appeared first on NASA…",
