Exciting news! Today, NASA and
@ISS_CASIS
announced major funding for five new cancer research projects aboard the
@Space_Station
.
Under
@POTUS
and
@VP
's Cancer Moonshot initiative, we're harnessing the power of space to end cancer as we know it.
Congratulations to the recipients of
@NASA
and
@ISS_CASIS
โs โIgniting Innovationโ solicitation awards, recently announced at the
#ISSRDC
conference! ๐๐
These researchers aim to use space to help treat cancer, supporting the

@NASA
Biological & Physical Sciences Division Director Lisa Carnell & colleagues recently met with Dr. Masaki Shirakawa and the JEM โKiboโ Utilization Center team at
@JAXA_en
โs Tsukuba Space Center in Japan to talk about space science.
Thursdayโs

included reversing headward fluid shifts and swapping samples in a high temperature research furnace. The crew also worked on science gear, cargo transfers, and more...
From flowers to vegetables, space-grown plants can add variety to meals and boost astronaut morale. Veggie, a plant habitat on
