NASA astronauts Luke Delaney, Anil Menon, and Jessica Watkins have wrapped up a busy week aboard the International Space Station, focusing on botany, biomedicine, and cargo operations. The crew has been conducting research to improve plant growth and disease resistance in microgravity, which could lead to healthier plants for both spacecraft and Earth-based agriculture.
In addition, they have been working on various high-tech research gear to study phenomena that are difficult or impossible to achieve on Earth, with insights from this work potentially advancing both Earth and space technologies. The crew also recently voted in the U.S. midterm elections, with the results displayed on their shirts.
