ISS035-E-015081 (5 April 2013) --- Astronaut Chris Cassidy, Expedition 35 flight engineer, conducts a session of the Burning and Suppression of Solids (BASS) experiment onboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station. Following a series of preparations, Cassidy conducted a run of the experiment, which examined the burning and extinction characteristics of a wide variety of fuel samples in microgravity and will guide strategies for extinguishing fires in microgravity. BASS results contribute to the combustion computational models used in the design of fire detection and suppression systems in microgravity and on Earth.

ISS028-E-005026 (23 May 2011) --- The Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft departs from the International Space Station on May 23, 2011. Onboard are three members of Expedition 27 -- Russian cosmonaut Dmitry Kondratyev, Expedition 27 and Soyuz commander; NASA astronaut Cady Coleman and European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli, both flight engineers. Kondratyev was at the controls of the spacecraft as it undocked at 5:35 p.m. (EDT) from the station's Rassvet module. The crew landed safely at 10:27 p.m. southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.

Cassidy over a period of several days, has conducted several "runs" of the experiment, which examines the burning and extinction characteristics of a wide variety of fuel samples in microgravity and will guide strategies for extinguishing fires in microgravity. BASS results contribute to the combustion computational models used in the design of fire detection and suppression systems in microgravity and on Earth.

ISS035e006147 (19 March 2013) --- NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn, Expedition 35 flight engineer, works on the Marangoni Inside core cleaning in the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module onboard the Earth-orbiting International Space Station. Marangoni convection is the flow driven by the presence of a surface tension gradient which can be produced by temperature difference at a liquid/gas interface. The convection in liquid bridge of silicone oil is generated by heating the one disc higher than the other. Scientists are observing flow patterns of how fluids move to learn more about how heat is transferred in microgravity.
ISS035-E-030791 (25 April 2013) --- NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn (pictured in background), Expedition 35 Flight Engineer, performs the second of a two-day session of Taskboard and Tele-operations with R 2 onboard the International Space Station. R 2 is the dexterous humanoid robot that was carried up to the station by one of NASA's final shuttle flights in 2011. The goals for these activities were orientation and depth familiarization, individual hand grasp and hand-to-hand object transfer; and all were completed nominally. The Robonaut Tele-operation System is used to demonstrate the ability to effectively control Robonaut from the station. The research objective is to evaluate this control method in terms of its ability to perform tasks as well as measure the time necessary to complete the defined tasks. This capability will need to be developed to support future operations of Robonaut in the space environment as well as certain intravehicular activity situations.
