Pole's first days on the International Space Station. "He's starting work in full swing"

Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski has settled in on the International Space Station and has begun preparations for three scientific experiments. He will soon be involved in two more. - On the second day of the mission, the Pole begins work at full speed - the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) reported. As stated in the announcement, "estimated mission completion status after the first day: 3.1 percent."

As we read in a press release from the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), on the first full day of the mission the Polish astronaut acclimatized to the new environment and underwent training in safety rules and emergency situations.

The Pole also prepared three of the 13 scientific experiments that will be carried out as part of the Ignis technological and scientific mission (MXene in LEO, Human Gut Microbiota, Immune Multiomics), POLSA reported.

"All activities planned for the astronaut were completed as planned and on time," we read in the release.

The experiment, called "MXene in LEO" (by scientists from the AGH University of Science and Technology), will test a wrist heart rate monitor with a sensor. "Human Gut Microbiota" is to examine what changes occur in the composition of intestinal bacteria during space flight, and "Immune Multiomics" is to examine the effect of weightlessness on the body's immunity.

"On the second day of the mission, the Pole begins work in full swing," the agency emphasized. Uznański-Wiśniewski is to continue work on the above-mentioned experiments and will begin work on two more.

It was the third day of the Ax-4 mission crew's space flight. As noted by Axiom Space , the mission's prime contractor, the crew focused on integration with members of NASA's 73rd Expedition.

Together, they completed training, including emergency procedures. The crew moved cargo and emergency equipment from the Dragon capsule to the space station, including essential supplies and protective equipment. The astronauts also began preparing their research and placing samples in designated modules. The mission will continue to prepare for research and technology demonstrations.
