For over two decades, the International Space Station has enabled thousands of microgravity studies in low-Earth orbit. Many of these experiments have helped us better prepare for deep space exploration, including the Artemis I mission. By combining the findings we can get in lunar orbit and results from science conducted aboard Earth’s orbiting laboratory, humanity is getting closer to Mars than ever before.

Crew members on the International Space Station are kicking off operations for several biological experiments. These include examining how microgravity affects production of protein by microalgae, testing a microscope to capture microbial activity, and studying genetic activity in biofilms. 🔬 Read more: https://go.nasa.gov/3Yp1ibW | NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
