Videos: “Space to Ground” ISS report + Microgravity bio-research + Peggy Whitson’s exercise machine

Here is the latest Space to Ground weekly report from NASA on activities related to the International Space Station:

Here are a couple more videos released this week by NASA starting with astronaut/molecular biologist Kate Rubins talking about the benefits of ISS research into the biological effects of very low gravity:

Astronauts on the International Space Station have to exercise for two hours every day, but they can show off the hardware in a lot less time than that. In this “SpeedyTime” segment Expedition 52 flight engineer Peggy Whitson gives us a rapid-fire display of exercises that can be done with just one piece of equipment, the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device in the Tranquility module.

And here is the first in what looks to be a fun series of brief videos from ISS crew member Jack Fischer describing some aspect of the huge station:

No one knows the International Space Station better than the people who live and work there—and now they’re sharing that knowledge in bite-sized chunks. In the first of a series of short videos called “SpeedyTime,” Expedition 52 flight engineer Jack Fischer gives us a quick-but-thorough tour of payload activities inside and outside the airlock in the station’s Japanese laboratory module, Kibo.
