Food Physiology: The crew participated in a diet briefing with the ground experiment team.

The Integrated Impact of Diet on Human Immune Response, the Gut Microbiota, and Nutritional Status During Adaptation to Spaceflight experiment is designed to characterize the key effects of an enhanced spaceflight diet on immune function, the gut microbiome, and nutritional status indicators.

The GITAI S1 Robotic Arm Tech Demo demonstrates the versatility and dexterity in microgravity of a robot designed by GITAI Japan Inc. For the demonstration, the robot conducts common crew activities and tasks via supervised autonomy and teleoperations from the ground.

Robotic labor could reduce the cost of spacecraft operations and improve safety by taking on tasks that could expose crew members to hazardous risks.

HISUI: The crew exchanged the full Mission Data Recorder data hard disk with a new data disk.

The objective of HISUI onboard the International Space Station is to obtain the data necessary to begin a full-scale practical application development for hyperspectral remote sensing through manufacturing, and the inflight performance verification of a hyperspectral imager onboard ISS. Toilet: The crew reviewed the Big Picture Words, inspected the cover on the Toilet Conductivity Sensor inlet and outlet for any pretreated urine leaks, and then filled out a questionnaire.

KCU-2 Cable Connection and Checkout: Yesterday, the crew performed troubleshooting steps on the JSL data cable W3034 and P5B connector.

The crew successfully replaced pin 6 and re-seated pin 5.

Today, the crew installed the cable successfully and the ground performed a series of checkouts.
