Crew Swap Underway Amid Advanced Space Science

The four homebound crew members on Wednesday checked the pressure suits they will wear inside "Endurance" during the ride back to Earth. At the end of the day, they joined the seven other orbital residents and reviewed everyone's roles and responsibilities in the unlikely event of an emergency aboard the station.

There was still time for science in space as Dominick set up medical hardware including an ultrasound scanner and blood pressure measurement gear. He then conducted scans on NASA Flight Engineer Loral O'Hara and measured her blood pressure collecting data for the CIPHER suite of 14 human research experiments. CIPHER is documenting an astronaut's health during a long-term spaceflight.
