This weeks recap of all things science going on up at the International Space Station NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano completed the heat sealing of the bagged Payload Experiment Container (PEC) and Optical Reflector Materials Experiment III (ORMatE-III) for the Materials International Space Station Experiment-8 (MISSE-8) study. The Expedition 36 crew installed the Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions-3 (InSPACE-3) hardware in the Microgravity Science Glovebox and completed the first two science runs. The crew retrieved the Space Bubble Detectors after a seven-day data collection for the RaDI-N2 Neutron Field Study (RaDI-N2). This investigation uses newly developed bubble spectrometers to measure neutron radiation levels in different areas of the space station.
