Monday, April 21, 2014. SpaceX has some beautiful pictures of the Dragon capsule before and after berthing yesterday. Enjoy! Ground Controls to Major Rick. Astronaut Rick Mastracchio loads our cassettes into the KUBIK centrifuge (photo: NASA). We've made it to the ISS! All dressed up to do our ground controls. It's crazy to be done with this phase of the experiment - we've been working towards this for more than a year! Saturday, April 19, 2014. More Pictures of Launch. Friday, April 18, 2014.

Hughes-Fulford Lab : March 2015
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 13, 2015. It's Finally Science Time! After we got our samples back from Long Beach, CA we have been busy making sure everything is ready to go for our samples! Pier Luigi and Fabio from KI with Francis from Nasa Ames with the returned hardware. Now that we have all our precious samples, we were now able to start the exciting part! First, we needed to extract the RNA from the samples. We have extracted about half our samples which already took a few days. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Hughes-Fulford Lab : Back at Cape
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2015/01/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-fly-fly.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. Christina and I arrived in Cape Canaveral from SFO this evening, refreshed from the winter holidays and looking forward to the launch attempt on January 6th. We'll be getting our samples tomorrow evening and will start our preparation for our T-cell isolation on Saturday. Everything for launch is still a go, so we're all very hopeful this is the real deal. Ground Controls and More. SpaceX CRS-5 HAS LAUNCHED. Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

Hughes-Fulford Lab : Ground Controls and More
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2015/01/ground-controls-and-more.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. Ground Controls and More. After the launch, Emily and I were definitely excited to fill our ground controls. We then celebrated with a great breakfast and had a chance to rest after such an eventful day. For the next couple days, we packed up the lab and got a chance to finally explore Kennedy Space Center and everything it had to offer. Boxes upon boxes to ship back to the lab. Must-have meatball picture at the KSC Visitor Center. The Saturn V Rocket was enormous!

Hughes-Fulford Lab : May 2014
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2014. We are all now back in San Francisco after a successful retrieval of our samples from the Dragon capsule! Millie next to her mission summary, STS-40! Millie, Emily, and I then boarded the plane, put our samples onto dry ice, and set off for San Francisco. This morning, we disassembled all the hardware and collected our samples. The hardware will be going back with Kayser Italia (who flew into SF) to Italy until SpaceX-5 preparation begins. Boarding the charter jet.

Hughes-Fulford Lab : November 2014
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. My First Month at the Hughes-Fulford Lab. Field Trip to the Warehouse With Our First Shipment. Today marks my first month here at the Hughes-Fulford Lab. Time has definitely gone by faster than I ever imagined; but more importantly, I have learned so much in just my first month here. I came to my first day of work just a couple days after relocating from Los Angeles. Learning everything has definitely been hectic for all of us. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Hughes-Fulford Lab : L-7 hours
http://hughesfulfordlab.blogspot.com/2015/01/l-7-hours.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. It's been an exhausting couple days, but we have done everything we can! We have isolated the T-Cells from the blood of donors, filled the experimental units, and handed them over. Emily and I with the help of BJ and Karin were able to work through the long hours it all took. It's such a relief to be done for now! Here are some pictures to document the process:. KI and T-Cell Team after the handover of EUs and tools. Emily and Christina isolating the T-Cells.

Tuesday, February 17, 2015. T Cells are Back from Space. This past week, Tara, Emily, and I traveled down to Long Beach to retrieve our samples. During our trip we got to visit the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne, CA. They were definitely doing very innovative things and we were more than excited to be able to take a look! T-Cell Team at SpaceX Facility in Hawthorne, CA. Later that night, our samples arrived to a private air strip in the Long Beach Airport. Overall it was a very smooth hand over!
