iss060e036686 (8/19/2019) --- A view during removal of card/cube from TangoLab-2 Facility. The Effects of Microgravity on Microbial Nitrogen Fixation (Microbial Nitrogen Fixation) explores the effectiveness of two strains of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen is an essential element in plant growth, but plants use only reduced forms of nitrogen and much of it is produced by these bacteria. Determining whether and how nitrogen fixation occurs in space is key to successfully growing plants on future missions.

iss059e114054 (6/20/2019) --- View of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3) payload on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Exposed Facility (EF). The OCO-3, to be installed on the Japanese Experiment Module-Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) of the International Space Station (ISS), observes the complex dynamics of the Earth’s atmospheric carbon cycle. The OCO-3 payload is designed to collect the space-based measurements needed to quantify variations in the column-averaged atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) dry-air mole fraction, XCO2, with the precision, resolution, and coverage needed to improve the understanding of surface CO2 sources and sinks (fluxes) on regional scales (?1000 km), and the processes controlling their variability over the seasonal cycle.

iss059e061135 (May 13, 2019) --- NASA astronaut Nick Hague conducts research operations in the U.S. Destiny laboratory module's Microgravity Sciences Glovebox. Hague is exploring why pathogens become more virulent in the weightless environment of outer space posing a flight risk to astronauts.

iss059e072992 (5/27/2019) --- Photo documentation of the Micro Alagae Culture bags in Node 2 aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

It could provide a readily available dietary supplement to promote astronaut health on long-duration space exploration missions.

iss060e060522 (9/13/2019) --- A view during the Cryo Chiller Sample Cartridge Installation aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Cryo Chiller is a single Expedite the Processing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) locker replacement unit which provides rapid freezing capability in support of biological sciences, as well as temperature-controlled transfer to/from the International Space Station (ISS) on visiting vehicles.

iss059e117376 (6/22/2019) --- Photo documentation taken during VEG-04 Water Check and Mass Measurement Device Operations aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The two compartments are the Equipment Lock which provides the systems for suit maintenance and refurbishment and the Crew Lock which provides the actual exit for performing spacewalks. The airlock is the primary path for spacewalk entry and departure for astronauts wearing U.S. spacesuits. Quest can also support the Russian Orlan spacesuit for spacewalks.
