Expedition 70 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps prepares tubes to collect samples from the crew for the Immunity Assay investigation. Immunity Assay looks at the impact of spaceflight on cellular immune functions in blood samples, tests that could only previously be conducted on Earth.

Expedition 70 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Mike Barratt shows off an Astrobee robotic free-flyer that will be controlled by student-written code in a competition to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.

Expedition 70 Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick and Loral O'Hara, both NASA astronauts, smile for a portrait shortly after the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft docked to the International Space Station.

Expedition 70 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara shows off the Advanced Space Experiment Processor-2, or ADSEP-2. The scientific device can interface with the Dragon and Cygnus cargo craft and houses cassettes that process samples for biology and physics research including cell and tissue culturing, protein crystal growth, microorganism and bacteria studies, and materials science research.

Expedition 70 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is pictured relaxing inside the International Space Station's Unity module during an orbital weekend.
