April marked Expedition 67’s first full month aboard the International Space Station, with the outpost’s crew receiving visitors in the form of the Axiom-1 mission before Crew Dragon Freedom arrived at the end of the month to begin a crew rotation on the US Orbital Segment.
On the Russian side of the station, work to commission the Nauka module continued with a pair of spacewalks aimed at activating the module’s European Robotic Arm. On top of this, the crew carried out their daily duties, conducting research and carrying out tasks to keep the station operational.
