Astronauts try different experiments in space
In the most exciting experiment, NASA sent astronauts bioprinted bandages and detergents for use in space. According to the agency, bioprinting can be used to print tissue structures using living cells and biomolecules. This technological breakthrough will speed up the healing process, as the bioprinter will create a tissue-forming patch that uses the person’s own skin cells to cover the wound. NASA’s Mark Garcia wrote in his blog: “In future missions to the moon and Mars, bioprinting of this customized patch can help resolve wound healing changes that may occur in space and complicate treatment.”

Another exciting scientific experiment is to study the decontamination components of detergents, which help to wash clothes in space to improve their reusability. The agency worked with Procter & Gamble (P&G) to design a fully degradable detergent called Tide Infinity that can be used under zero gravity conditions. Interestingly, the successful operation of this cleaning agent in space will produce new cleaning methods on Earth, which are feasible even when resources are scarce. Other scientific experiments include analyzing and monitoring the development of plant shoots and roots under microgravity, as well as assessing the reduction of human immunity and the risk of space infection.
