Cancer Treatment, Cartilage Repair, and Spacesuit Checks Wrap Up Week

https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nn202620 At 6:37 a.m. EDT on May 17, a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station, delivering nearly 6,500 pounds of food, equipment, and new science for the Expedition 74 crew. Among the experiments are a study testing how well Earth-based simulators mimic microgravity; a wood‑based bone scaffold that could lead to new treatments for fragile bones; and hardware to examine how red blood cells and the spleen change in space. NASA’s SpaceX CRS-34 mission launched at 6:05 p.m. on May 15 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
