ISS006E08663 (December 6, 2002)
Astronaut Donald R. Pettit, Expedition Six NASA ISS science officer, works to set up Pulmonary Function in Flight (PuFF) hardware in preparation for a Human Research Facility (HRF) experiment in the Destiny laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS). Expedition Six is the fourth and final expedition crew to perform the HRF/PuFF Experiment on the ISS.

JSC2002E01760 (January 15, 2002)
Astronaut Kenneth D. Bowersox, Expedition Six mission commander, configures the PuFF manual breathing valve (MBV) during to Human Research Facility (HRF) training in the International Space Station (ISS) Destiny laboratory mockup/trainer at the Johnson Space Center’s Space Vehicle Mockup Facility.

UCISS5_004 (January 15, 2002)
In this photograph Astronaut Peggy Whitson, ISS Increment 5 Flight Engineer, can be seen performing one of the PuFF respiratory function tests in a supine position. This change in orientation of the gravity vector produces changes in the structure and function of the lungs on Earth. These effects, combined with data obtained during exposure to micro-gravity on the ISS, will help researchers understand both the effects of long duration exposure to micro-gravity on astronauts and may help them understand certain lung diseases on Earth as well. The photograph was taken during BDC at JSC in Houston, TX.

ISS005E09909 (August 23, 2002)
In this photograph Astronaut Peggy Whitson, ISS Increment 5 Flight Engineer, can be seen setting up the PuFF hardware prior to a pre-EVA session.

 

iss-08

UCISS5_001 (January 15, 2002)
Astronaut Peggy Whitson, ISS Increment 5 Flight Engineer, is guided through a hardware calibration by the PuFF Experiment Support Specialist, Gwenn Sandoz. The photograph was taken during a training/baseline data collection (BDC) session at the Johnson Space Center Baseline Data Collection Facility, in Houston, TX.
