The Expedition 14 crew members continued work on several experiments that included monitoring sleep/wake patterns and light exposure and collecting blood and urine samples for later evaluation. Another experiment measures details about cosmic radiation and its interactions with astronauts’ central nervous systems.

The crew also made preparations for Thursday’s and Friday’s installation of network cabling, clearing out stowage gear to provide the necessary access. The crew members also stowed trash and discarded equipment in the ISS Progress 23 cargo ship which is scheduled to undock from the station and burn on re-entry on March 27.
