SpacePharma's Innovative Cancer Research in Microgravity Advances on International Space Station

SpacePharma, an Israeli company, has launched a new experimental laboratory to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft. This lab is designed for conducting biological experiments under microgravity conditions, focusing on cancer research. One experiment involves brain-tissue organoids created from cancer patients' tissue samples, aiming to identify cancer biomarkers. Another experiment, led by Roche Pharmaceuticals and Harvard University, seeks to grow lung-cell tissue with sensors for lung cancer treatment. These experiments are funded by the European Space Agency and represent SpacePharma's 14th mission to space.

U.S. Space Force Plans 2027 In-Space Refueling and Servicing Demonstrations

U.S. Space Force Plans 2027 In-Space Refueling and Servicing Demonstrations

The U.S. Space Force is preparing for a series of in-space demonstrations in 2027, focusing on satellite refueling and servicing. These demonstrations will involve multiple spacecraft, including a fuel-transfer vehicle by Astroscale U.S. and a servicing 'space tug' from Starfish Space. The initiative aims to test the feasibility of extending satellite lifespans and enhancing maneuverability in orbit. The Space Force is collaborating with commercial partners to explore the potential for these technologies to become commercially viable.

NASA Crew Initiates New Space Experiments Following Dragon Cargo Delivery

NASA Crew Initiates New Space Experiments Following Dragon Cargo Delivery

The International Space Station (ISS) has commenced new scientific experiments following the delivery of approximately 6,500 pounds of cargo by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on May 17. The Expedition 74 crew, including NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway, began unloading the supplies and initiating research activities. Key experiments involve studying the effects of microgravity on blood-making cells, with NASA astronaut Jessica Meir preparing samples in the Kibo laboratory module. The research aims to understand how weightlessness impacts blood clotting and immune function. Additionally, NASA astronaut Chris Williams activated student-designed experiments involving biological and material samples. The crew is also preparing for an upcoming spacewalk, with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikaev readying tools and spacesuits.
