Space to Ground: Outside the Hatch: April 26, 2024 - NASA Johnson Space Center
Roscosmos Cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chubb conducted a spacewalk in which they installed a panel of a synthetic radar system on the Aoka module and an experiment that tests corrosion on the Poist module.The MISSE-18-NASA experiment exposes materials to the harshness of space to test them for uses on the Gateway lunar space station or lunar surface and a coating that could help prevent salt corrosion at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station before launch.A medical experiment tests magnetic nanoparticles that may kill melanoma skin cancer cells.Finally,SpaceX Crew-8 astronauts suited up to move their Crew Dragon spacecraft to another port to make way for the Boeing Crew Flight Test Starliner spaccraft.

Flight Surgeons:Aerospace Medicine Beckons to Many
Aerospace Medicine is a specialty that has an appeal to many medical students,offering the chance to work closely with the topline explorers of today's world,the astronauts and cosmonauts;and,indeed,the chance to fly in space themselves.There are five aerospace residency programmes in the United States.The most popular is perhaps that at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston,Texas near the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston..*
Two of the residencies are military:at Wright-Paterson Air Force Base,Ohio and the Naval Aerospace Medical Institute in Pensacola,Florida.The other civilian residencies are at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,Minnesota and Wright State University in Dayton,Ohio.*
Flight surgeons support the health,safety and well-being of pilots,aircrews and astronauts.It is preventative and occupational medicine with an expeditionary twist.The field is competitive,but the future looks promising with the proliferation of commercial spaceflight firms and the ongoing government exploration programmes looking to scientifically colonise the Moon and beyond.
