NASA ISS On-Orbit Status 26 June 2011

FE-4 Volkov tended the current experiment with the Russian/German KPT-21 Plasma Crystal-3+ (Plazmennyi-Kristall/PK-3+) payload, running in the MRM2 "Poisk" module, by checking the hermeticity of the evacuated EB vacuum chamber after wakeup and before bedtime (any pressure increase above the vacuum should stay within 5 mmHg). With STTS onboard comm temporarily configured for MRM2 occupancy, Sergei tested the equipment with ground specialist tagup support, then terminated the experiment and reset STTS. [Main objective of PK-3 is to study wave propagation and dispersion ratio in a dust plasma, i.e., fine particles charged and excited by HF (high frequency) radio power inside the evacuated work chamber, at a specified power of HF discharge, pressure, and a varied number of particles.] CDR Borisenko conducted the routine daily servicing of the SOZh system (Environment Control & Life Support System, ECLSS) in the SM (Service Module), including the weekly collection of the toilet flush (SP) counter and water supply (SVO) readings for calldown to TsUP-Moscow. [SOZh servicing includes checking the ASU toilet facilities, replacement of the KTO & KBO solid waste containers and replacement of EDV-SV waste water and EDV-U urine containers]. Before sleeptime, FE-6 Fossum will transfer HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) and EarQ software data files from the MEC (Medical Equipment Computer) to an SSC (Station Support Computer) for downlink to the ground. [Since MEC files cannot be pulled down directly by the ground after the recent SSCv4 software transition, the crew has to transfer the files to a USB drive and from there to an SSC server for subsequent downlink.] For his chosen VolSci (Voluntary Weekend Science) activity, FE-5 Furukawa conducted Part 2 of the current new JAXA life science experiment CsPINs (Dynamism of Auxin Efflux Facilitators responsible for Gravity-regulated Growth and Development in Cucumber) by starting Run 2-3. [Yesterday's steps included preparing CsPINs cucumber samples in two CsPINs Chamber As, inserting them in two MEU Bs (Measurement Experiment Units B, #004, #005) for Run 2-3 of the CsPINs experiment and finally attaching these in the CBEF (Cell Biology Experiment Facility) 1G incubator for ~18 hrs for germination.

Tubes Supply - Tattoo and Body Art

I need a power supply for a vacuum tube experiment that I am doing and it must be something I can just plug into a standared wall socket that will out put at least 120v DC. My quest has been much harder than I thought. I have searched the internet and found places that have DC to DC only, AC to AC only or AC-DC but the output is too freaken small, usually not much more than 12 v DC. I am in the Los Angeles/ Orange County area in Southern California if you actually know a location in this area.

You could just use a diode bridge on the 120 vac line. With a filter capacitor on the output it would give you about 170 v dc.

Scaffolding-steel-tubes.avi Searching for hits in the ’70s, Leo Sayer became a tender balladeer, an Elton John wannabe, a falsetto-voiced disco crooner, and a straightforward pop “entertainer.” Remarkably, Sayer was good was at everything-from the Tin Pan Alley pop to the power ballads. While he will certainly be remembered for “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” Sayer’s versatility is what’s immediately obvious on this compila… Shoulder Dolly Light Duty gives you a hand in moving the heavy stuff… and reduces back, arm and hand strain.
