This week on #SpaceToGround , learn more about the ISS Research being done on the space station to prepare for future lunar missions ahead of an exciting #Artemis announcement from NASA's Johnson Space Center on April 3! 🌱🌔

Water is a precious resource in space. It is used to create clean air by separating oxygen from hydrogen, and it is also recycled to provide a continuous supply of clean water.
In these photos, I'm working on the tank that recycles water, while wearing a PPE kit to prevent…

During the week of March 27, the International Space Station crew tested in-space bioprinting of knee cartilage tissue and studied how cardiovascular and respiratory adaptations to space affect blood pressure regulation. 🩸

Sarah Wallace works at JSC researching microbes in space! #WomensHistoryMonth

As a microbiologist, she helps keep International Space Station crews safe, ensures we don’t carry harmful microbes to other planets, and participates in science outreach at places like her alma mater.

The Exp 69 crew unpacked new cargo and researched biomanufacturing today as SpaceX targets mid-August for the launch of #Crew7 to the station. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2…

Researchers are conducting experiments aimed at preserving cryogenic fluids which fuel spacecraft and astronaut life support systems during long-duration space missions. Results could also have key energy, transportation & biotech applications on Earth: go.nasa.gov/40uTkwu

Fun with surface tension in space!

The unique properties of liquids in space can give scientists new ways to study disease, understand catastrophic mudflows on Earth, and improve consumer products. They can also offer an opportunity for some fun for International Space Station astronauts. 😉

The Exp 69 mission is officially under way as the crew split its day with ISS Research and time off following Tuesday's Soyuz undocking. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2…

It’s harvest time! 🍅

The Veg-05 study is the next step in addressing the need for a continuous fresh-food production system in space. This crop of dwarf tomatoes is heading back to Earth for scientific analysis!

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth , we celebrate the astronauts who have made history conducting world-changing research aboard the International Space Station!

An uncrewed Soyuz crew ship preps to depart the station early Tuesday morning as the Exp 68 crew works new ISS Research. blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2…

As part of my set of experiments on the ISS, I was excited to take part in the 'Cardinal Heart 2.0' study by Stanford University. Through this experiment, we are exploring the effects of clinical drugs on heart cells in microgravity using heart tissues.
Discoveries from such…

The Exp 68 crew finished the week with bioprinting, a student robotics project, and a veggie harvest and prepared cargo to return in the uncrewed Soyuz next week. go.nasa.gov/3FPkc2d

The International Space Station crew monitored changes to arteries, tested the effect of certain drugs on heart cell function, and analyzed how exposure to space affects a variety of materials.
