The four astronauts selected for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission have begun a standard two-week quarantine at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The isolation period started is part of routine preparations ahead of their upcoming launch to the International Space Station. Sophie, Jessica, Jack, and Andrei entered quarantine on January 28 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas,...

The Crew-12 mission, SpaceX’s 20th human spaceflight, launched at 5:15 AM Eastern on February 13 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. It’s expected to dock with the International Space Station today, February 14, at 3:15 PM, and you can watch the event below as it happens. By the time the mission’s Dragon capsule docks with the ISS, it will have traveled approximately 34 hours since lift off. Inside are NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency’s Sophie Adenot and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. The four spacefarers are joining the three remaining passengers onboard the ISS after Crew-11 flew back to Earth a month earlier than planned. If you’ll recall, NASA made the decision to cut their mission short after one of the crew members had a medical issue that instruments on the ISS aren’t...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/9Q-u6hqCu-Q?feature=oembed Research on travelling to the International Space Station aboard NASA’s SpaceX 33rd commercial resupply mission includes testing 3D bioprinting of an implantable medical device, observing the behaviour of engineered liver tissues, examining microgravity’s effects on bone-forming cells, and additional 3D printing of metal in space. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to launch to the orbiting laboratory in late August. For nearly 25 years, the International Space Station has provided research capabilities used by scientists from over 110 countries to conduct more than 4,000 groundbreaking experiments in microgravity. Research conducted aboard the space station advances future space exploration – including missions to the Moon and Mars – and provides multiple benefits to humanity. Read more about some of the latest investigations headed to the orbiting lab. Scientists are creating an implantable device in microgravity that could support nerve...
