Bioprinting, Space Manufacturing Top Research Schedule Aboard Station
Cartilage bioprinting and lead-free soldering topped the advanced microgravity research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The Expedition 75 crew members also explored blood pressure in weightlessness, serviced spacesuit components, and inspected lab hardware aboard the orbital outpost.

NASA astronaut Anil Menon demonstrated lead-free soldering techniques in microgravity aboard the International Space Station. ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and Japanese astronaut Jessica Meir collaborated on bioprinting cartilage tissue in zero gravity, with results showing enhanced quality compared to Earth-produced tissues. The bioprinting process, which utilizes the patient's own cells, could enable personalized implants.
Crew members also examined blood pressure in weightlessness, serviced spacesuit components, and inspected lab hardware.
