The Progress 91 thrusters were fired at 6:10 p.m. EDT Wednesday for 3 minutes, 33 seconds, to raise the orbit of the International Space Station to provide an extra margin of distance from a piece of orbital debris from a fragment of a Chinese Long March rocket launched in 2005. The pre-planned Debris Avoidance Maneuver was coordinated by NASA, Roscosmos, and other space station partners. Without the maneuver, NASA estimated the fragment could have come within around .4 miles of the station.

The Expedition 73 crew is learning how to manufacture nanomaterials today possibly leading to new therapeutics, vaccines, and regenerative medicine. The orbital residents also conducted vein scans and wrapped a cellular gravity sensing experiment aboard the International Space Station. NASA Flight Engineers Anne McClain and Jonny Kim began their day inside the Kibo laboratory module mixing solutions to create DNA-like nanomaterials.

Synthetic DNA, how cells respond to weightlessness, and cognitive performance in space wrapped up the week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 73 crew is also gearing up for a spacewalk to ready the orbital outpost for a new rollout solar array. Space biology is helping doctors understand how humans adapt to living in space and providing countermeasures to keep crews healthy on long duration missions farther away from Earth.
