Microbiology, Spacesuits, and Cargo Mission Preps Keep Crew Busy

Microbiology and spacesuit maintenance kept the Expedition 75 crew busy aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents are also preparing for upcoming cargo missions at the orbital outpost. Flight engineers Anil Menon of NASA and Joshua Kutryk of CSA (Canadian Space Agency) partnered together inside the Kibo laboratory module and explored how bacteria adapts to microgravity. Insights may help researchers understand how microgravity influences bacterial antibiotic resistance and lead to countermeasures protecting the human immune system on and off the Earth. More
