Expedition 73 studies how microgravity affects the protein yields of Chlorella microalgae, a potential nutrient-rich food source that can be turned into protein powder to add to food. Results could support improved and sustainable plant-based food production on and off Earth.

Happy National Astronaut Day! During a spacewalk in January, Nick Hague repaired the NICER X-ray telescope after issues with daytime operations were discovered. The repair restored about 70% of NICER's daytime science capabilities, improving data collection for researchers.

Using International Space Station's Cold Atom Lab, scientists are conducting atom interferometry in space, paving the way for future missions to explore physical laws that govern the universe, study the composition of planets, and even monitor ice sheet thickness on Earth:

No leg days skipped in space! 🏋️ #DYK astronauts exercise for about 1.5 hours a day aboard the International Space Station? They are protecting themselves from bone and muscle loss that could result from microgravity. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3YZCOWP

I see you U.S. Air Force Academy! Proud of the ISS Research my alma mater is doing up here and excited to set it up and take part! Couldn’t miss a chance to wear an Air Force shirt or two. 😉 Rhodium USAFA Non-Photosynthetic Inquiry into Growth Habit Traits, or Rhodium USAFA NIGHT,

How can we best detect potentially harmful organisms in drinking water, on Earth and in space? The Extant Life Volumetric Imaging System (ELVIS) is one possibility. This compact 3D microscope can image objects as small as bacteria, even while they are in motion. We are doing
