Today Commander , Pilot , and Mission Specialists and participated in an on-orbit science briefing led by ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù Chief Scientist Dr. Lucie Low. While answering questions live from the International Space Station, the Ax-2 astronauts discussed the science and research they have been conducting throughout their mission and a few fun stories from their time on the orbiting laboratory.
The Ax-2 crew is conducting more than 20 experiments aboard the space station, made possible by ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s full-service integration into the NASA process for science and technology activities onboard the ISS. Data collected in-flight will impact understanding of human physiology on Earth and on-orbit and establish the utility of novel technologies that could be used for future human spaceflight pursuits and humankind on Earth. ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s partnerships offer the opportunity to expand the commercial space economy and support commercial innovations and manufacturing of biomedical products and advanced materials in low-Earth orbit.
