Russian cosmonauts, members of the 72nd long-term expedition—Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Wagner, Alexander Grebenkin, and Alexander Gorbunov—continue their work on the International Space Station (ISS). On October 2, they conducted several scientific experiments and technical tasks aimed at studying Earth and supporting the station's operation.
The following experiments were carried out as part of the flight program:
- «Ураган» — During this experiment, hyperspectral images of the Earth's surface were obtained in the visible and near-infrared ranges. This data will help in the study of various ecosystems, including forests.
- «УФ-атмосфера» — Cosmonauts mapped the night atmosphere in the near-ultraviolet range using a wide-angle detector. This allows for obtaining data on the distribution of atmospheric components at night.
- «Идентификация» — Studying the dynamics of the ISS structure under various external forces, taking into account changes in the station's modular composition. This experiment is important for ensuring the safety and functionality of the ISS.
- «Дубрава» — Monitoring forest ecosystems, which allows tracking changes in vegetation cover and the condition of forests on Earth.
- «Экон-М» — Photographing the Earth to assess the environmental situation, which includes studying the impact of human activities on the environment.
The cosmonauts also performed technical maintenance, including replacing the air purification unit in the Zvezda service module and working with the sanitation device.
