Been reading about ISS this month, so have a few questions 1) Now that we have an extra member due to Crew Dragon, do we know how many astronaut-hours are spent on science vs maintenance per week?In 2014, it was around 40 hours/week for USOS. (Slide 14 in https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/NACRS_ISSResourceOverview_022014T.pdf)2) Are there any plans to add International Docking Adapter to Prichal? 3) I want to learn more about the life support systems, are there any books about this?4) Are daily schedules of astronauts published anywhere? (It was till 2014, but couldn't find the link now)
I am not sure where to post this, but why am I not seeing anything here about NASAWatch's new story about NASA cutting back on PA coverage of the ISS? Seems like an important topic!
Will Strela no longer be needed once the ERA is operational? Also, can the ERA be equipped with a portable foot restraint?Thx

What happens to the CubeSat deplorers on the ISS after they've deployed their satellite?
I know of no such "module"

The Pump Module is the External Active Thermal Control System pump and valve control ORU.The Mini Pump Module contains upgrades to the ORU based on the years of operational history and failures that have occurred.Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
