The astronauts studied the systems of the American segment of the International Space Station, underwent training on typical operations, and also practiced actions in case of emergency situations.
During the session, training was carried out both as part of the crew of the manned transport spacecraft Soyuz MS-27 (Sergei Ryzhikov, Alexey Zubritsky and Jonathan Kim), and as part of the entire ISS-73 expedition, which also includes Crew-10 crew members Anne McClain , Nicole Ayres, Takuya Onishi and Kirill Peskov.
“In the absence of the Dragon crew on board the ISS, if an emergency situation arises on the American segment of the station, our crew will counter it in full. Also, if necessary, cosmonaut Sergei Ryzhikov and astronaut Jonathan Kim will be able to perform a spacewalk in EMU spacesuits, and they also practiced these actions, so at NASA we had serious training,” Alexey Zubritsky explained the need for such training.
At the end of the preparation, the crew of the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft took part in a traditional cake ceremony, for which they baked a sponge cake with the symbols of the upcoming long expedition.
“A group gathered: instructors, teachers - everyone who participated in our training at the Center. Johnson in the USA. Then there was an official presentation of the crew, in a response speech we thanked the specialists for their joint work, after which the cake was cut. After the refreshment, everyone had the opportunity to take a photo, ask questions and say warm parting words,” Alexey Zubritsky told the details of this ceremony.

A wardrobe is being prepared for the cosmonauts: Alexey Zubritsky tried on flight clothes
| Crews
October 30, 2024
Like preparing for any long journey, preparing for an orbital expedition requires a competent selection of clothing sets that the astronauts will wear during the flight to the ISS.
No mass market, only individual tailoring, taking into account the characteristics of the figure and the personal wishes of the astronauts. For example, a chevron with the initials and surname of the owner can be sewn onto a jumpsuit or T-shirt, and the emblem of the crew or expedition, hometown or region can be placed on it.
“During practical classes, in addition to the assortment, we inform you about the wearing time of flight clothing. When preparing things, the convenience of the astronaut is put first. This takes into account the texture of the fabric, cut, for example, long or short sleeves, fastening elements: zippers, buttons. Experts can tailor any model to the individual wishes of the astronaut, the main thing is that he feels comfortable wearing these clothes. In addition, crews can choose personal hygiene products,” said Natalya Pekarskaya, teacher at the training center.
In everyday life at the station, astronauts wear T-shirts, polos, shorts, trousers, and overalls. Separate sets of clothing are provided for sports activities, as well as sneakers and cycling shoes for exercise.
“I chose light colors: blue, blue, white. But I ordered T-shirts, polos, and shorts in different colors, because on Earth there are the same preferences, but there (in space), perhaps they will change so that you can choose. In terms of functionality, clothing requires additional devices, for example, on overalls, shorts, trousers there are many pockets, Velcro stripes (in colloquial language they are often called “Velcro” - editor’s note), which will allow you to attach things necessary for work to clothing: a tablet, pen, tools, etc. On Earth, you can simply put them next to you, and there they will fly away, so objects need to be attached,” explained Alexey Zubritsky.
Clothes and shoes will be delivered on board by cargo ship; the weight of the cargo is limited, so for the entire duration of the expedition they take a calculated number of sets, guided by the service life of the items. Underwear (T-shirt, shorts and terry socks) is designed for three days, polo should be worn for no more than 7 days, and shorts - no more than two weeks. The space wardrobe includes two types of overalls: “crew” (for congratulatory video conferences) and personal (for video recording of work processes and experiments). The trousers are sewn with straps so that they do not ride up in zero gravity.
When making clothes, they try to use more natural materials. Thus, the composition of the linen fabric includes 95% cotton and 5% elastane. For overalls, cotton and polyester are used in a 50/50 ratio - the mixed fabric will not wrinkle as much. But to sew sports kits, you will already need synthetics - it more easily releases the liquid that cotton retains, so the astronauts will be comfortable while exercising on the bike path.
The range of flight clothing was developed taking into account the opinions of cosmonauts and specialists from the Cosmonaut Training Center, on orders from RSC Energia, with the participation of the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

T+19 (9.15.23): There is a lot of work that occurs before performing real operations in space. Meticulous planning, rehearsing, and development are the costs of business. On this day, I got to work with my classmates, @Astro_FarmerBob and @Astro_Raja to aid in the development of an experiment NASA hopes to do soon, which is to sample the exterior of the space station for microorganisms during a spacewalk. The idea is pretty straightforward - swab suspected areas around the space station, namely areas where microbes could have been deposited (e.g., near vents, handrail surfaces, near the airlock) to see if life could survive at vacuum. It's difficult to imagine life could survive in such an environment, but humans have been surprised before by finding life in extreme environments (e.g., hot springs, hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, etc). These organisms are called extremophiles because they live in extreme environmental conditions that are normally thought impossible for life to adapt to.
One of the coolest parts of this operation is how NASA repurposed an old piece of hardware from Shuttle into a canister caddy to house 6 sterile swabs. Hopefully, we get to see this experiment soon on the @Space_Station .
T+23 (9.19.23): After rehearsing the sequence of events and familiarizing ourselves with the equipment, the day came for Farmer and I to practice in the NBL. I got to practice my "aseptic technique," employed in medical settings to prevent cross-contamination leading to infection. Except in this setting, it's to ensure we get good science.
In our ear is our "TC" (training conductor), Drew Burr, who is an instrumental member of the EVA team responsible for preparing us for EVA missions during flight.

The crew left the “station” due to an accident: the cosmonauts and astronaut worked through several emergency situations
| Crews
November 01, 2024
According to the training scenario, Sergei Ryzhikov, Alexey Zubritsky, Jonathan Kim (crew of the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft) and Kirill Peskov (crew member of Crew-10), while on the International Space Station, encountered a number of emergency situations. These cosmonauts and the astronaut would soon be working together on the ISS, so it was very important for the instructors to practice team coordination.
The crew carried out a number of scenarios: a “fire” at the station, its depressurization and the release of ammonia on the American segment.
“During training on crew actions in emergency situations, we try to work out various scenarios. It is very important that the crew does not know which emergency situation will occur, which brings its work closer to real conditions. In the final scenario of this training, there was no opportunity to clear the atmosphere of the Russian segment of the ISS and the Soyuz spacecraft, so the crew left the station. And to practice the procedure for putting on spacesuits and descending to Earth, I went to the Soyuz simulator room,” said Ksenia Kakushina, leading cosmonaut training specialist at the Cosmonaut Training Center.
Ammonia is the most toxic substance at the station, negatively affecting the respiratory system, mucous membranes and human skin. In a liquid state, it is present in the external thermal control loops of the American segment; it is not present on the ISS RS. But in the event of an emergency release of a substance, the atmosphere of the entire station is at risk, and the crew must know the procedure for countering such an emergency situation.
After detecting a leak, everyone puts on masks with filters, turns on the station’s atmosphere purification cartridge and, half an hour later, uses special equipment to measure the content of dangerous gas in the air. If the maximum permissible concentration standards are exceeded, the crew must put on spacesuits wearing masks, move to the Soyuz and begin urgent undocking and descent to Earth.
According to the training scenario, Kirill Peskov left the station on the Dragon ship along with his fellow Crew-10 crew members. Meanwhile, Sergei Ryzhikov, Alexey Zubritsky and Jonathan Kim went to the Soyuz spacecraft simulator room and performed a number of operations wearing new emergency masks. The advantage of these protective equipment is that the viewing window does not fog up in them, and it is convenient for the crew to work in them.
When the astronaut is wearing a mask, a certain difficulty arises when putting on a spacesuit: it is impossible to put it on completely. Therefore, each crew member takes turns holding their breath, taking off their mask, putting on the full spacesuit and the same mask, and then preparing for descent. The commander, as a more experienced person, alternately helps the flight engineers and controls their actions, then one of them, in turn, helps the commander.
During training, these actions are practiced to the point of automaticity, so that in the event of a real accident, crew members can perform them “by touch,” maintaining their health, and successfully return to Earth.
“The crew had no questions about putting on new masks; everything was done the first time. The cosmonauts also noted that working in these protective equipment is much more comfortable than in the previous ones. Alexei Zubritsky and Jonathan Kim will be on their first flight, so this training is especially important for them,” summed up Igor Karyukin, leading cosmonaut training specialist at the Cosmonaut Training Center.

@JonnyKimUSA
T+23 (9.19.23): A requirement that all aspiring NASA spacewalkers have is to be able to conduct a rescue of their teammate within a specific time. Our EMU spacesuits offer the means for mobility and work in the vacuum of space and provide our life support. In the rare possibility anything off-nominal occurs to prevent a spacewalker from returning safely to the airlock on their own, they must rely on their partner to bring them safely back to the airlock. It's no different from many other lines of work relying on teammates in emergencies.
To train for this, we rehearse numerous scenarios of incapacitated crew members. We also have a lot of help, such as a cuff checklist of emergency action responses, the memorized portion of which we call "boldface," and dedicated experts in MCC-Houston feeding us data and recommendations on the next steps. The initial steps for a rescue involve assessing the situation and communicating with both the partner and MCC-H as able. Working with MCC, the rescuer develops and executes a rescue plan. The priority is always the crew first, followed by the station and the mission.
On this day, Farmer simulated an "incapacitated" crew member (we switch places throughout the day). After assessment, I translated to my partner, Farmer, quickly and safely completed any remaining action steps to put his spacesuit in as safe a condition as possible, and then safely and methodically translated him back to the airlock, ensuring that he has a safe load-path to station at all times and is not going to bump into anything along the way (especially his visor). Once at the airlock, it's a carefully coordinated ballad of actions to connect the "incapacitated crew member" and myself to the internal airlock tether point and then unhook ourselves to the external tether points (the external airlock hatch will not close if there is a tether line in the way). In some situations, connecting the incapacitated member to a service umbilical for resources (air, water, electrons) may be appropriate. Finally, we close the external airlock hatch and begin repressurizing the airlock to get our crew member the medical attention they may need inside the International Space Station.
Fortunately, we have great trainers, fantastic divers, and ground support to assist us in the rare chance this occurs. NASA is a forward-thinking organization, and we prepare for various outcomes despite numerous fault tolerances. EVA rescue is one of the more fun, challenging, and exhausting things we train for! And it's a significant team effort.
