The state of execution of the Polish mission performed by Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is 72.9 percent. On Saturday, the Polish astronaut merged with young people in Rzeszów, continued working on Polish experiments and recorded educational and promotional materials.
On Saturday, another successful walkie -radio connection was carried out with an international space station (ISS) as part of an event, hosted by the Rzeszów University of Technology.
“We learned, among others, that Sławosz's favorite occupation at ISS is admiring our planet from the Cupoli window, a special observation module” – emphasized the Polish Space Agency (Polsa).
On Saturday, work on Polish Wireless Acoustics experiments continued, during which the noise measuring system is tested, and Mxene in Leo, consisting in checking the operation of heart rate monitors with nanomaterial sensors.
The Polish astronaut has also recorded a videos with two educational experiments regarding the operation of the Newton cradle and the phenomenon of chain fountain. He also recorded a video about the current state of implementation of the AX-4 mission with the mission commander Peggy Whitson.
“Current status of achieving basic mission goals: 72.9 percent” – Polsa said.
The contractor of the Axiom mission announced that that day the AX-4 crew also merged with Dr. Lucie Low with Axiom Space to talk about the experiments they conducted and progress.
How to drink coffee on ISS
As a curiosity, Polsa introduced in the latest report what the coffee drinking process looks like on the ISS.
“Why the famous saying of astronauts that” today's coffee is yesterday's coffee “? Well, astronauts use water dispensers that take recycled fluids (you can guess how astronauts give the most water) and moisture collected from the air to provide astronauts with hot water” – we read.
“Those willing for morning coffee place aluminum packaging in a machine with hot water, and then press the button to inject the water into the aluminum package. The water dissolves coffee (sometimes even cream and sugar substitute), and the astronaut drinks the drink through a special plastic straw, which has a built -in unidles Poland.
In the years 2015-2017, the inhabitants of the ISS could enjoy freshly brewed espresso, prepared by a specially designed capsule espresso machine, produced by Italians.
In turn, Zero -G Cup, also called a cosmic cup, allows you to drink coffee without aluminum packaging and straws, and from a specially designed cup – we read. As Polsa explained, the vessel has a unique shape, thanks to which coffee drops do not “run away” (which is normally happening through the influence of microgravity), and the liquid is somewhat moved to a specially narrowed shore, which allows you to “take a sip” of the drink.
