Life and science aboard the International Space Station during Expedition 40
In short: This video captures the diverse activities of the Expedition 40 crew, from conducting microgravity science to performing complex spacewalks and monitoring Earth's oceans from orbit.
The Expedition 40 mission involved a variety of scientific and operational tasks, including testing specialized exercise shoes and evaluating space-to-Earth communications. The crew also focused on installing ocean monitoring gear and conducting research in microgravity across fields like human research and space physics.
The mission's operational complexity was highlighted by several spacewalks, including a five-hour, 11-minute EVA and a seven-hour, 23-minute EVA performed by Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev.
