In the KSC Life Sciences Building, Hangar L, Cape Canaveral Air Station, Dr. Haig Keshishian checks fruit fly larvae in a petri dish. The larvae are part of an experiment that is a secondary payload on mission STS-93. The experiment will examine the effects of microgravity and space flight on the development of neural connections between specific motor neurons and their targets in muscle fibers. Dr. Keshishian, from Yale University, is the principle investigator for the experiment. The larvae will be contained in incubators that are part of a Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA), which can start bioprocessing reactions by mixing or heating a sample and can also initiate multiple-step, sequential reactions in a technique called phased processing. The primary payload of mission STS-93 is the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which will allow scientists from around the world to see previously invisible black holes and high-temperature gas clouds, giving the observatory the potential to rewrite the books on the structure and evolution of our universe. The target launch date for STS-93 is July 9, aboard Space Shuttle Columbia, from Launch Pad 39B KSC-99pp0292

Summary
NAVAL BASE GUAM, Guam (April 22, 2020) Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Stephanie Lopezparga, assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital Guam (NHG), from Wichita, Kan., separates an appropriate volume of serum from a patient sample collected, from a Sailor assigned to aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), at the specimen processing center. NHG is assisting the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during a COVID-19 public health outbreak investigation among the crew of Theodore Roosevelt. The purpose of the outbreak investigation is to enhance the Navy’s understanding of the outbreak, inform future COVID-19 decisions and guidance, influence future testing strategies and operational planning, and provide COVID-19 mitigation measures to ensure mission readiness of the Theodore Roosevelt and other Navy assets. Theodore Roosevelt is in Guam for a scheduled port visit for resupply and crew rest during their scheduled deployment to the Indo-Pacific.
