US EditionNASA, ISRO Research Aboard Fourth Private Astronaut Mission to Station
- NASA and ISRO are jointly conducting research projects on Axiom Mission 4, which is scheduled to launch no earlier than June 10 from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Dragon vehicle.
- This collaboration arises from the need to study biological and technological effects of microgravity on muscle health, plant growth, microalgae, tardigrades, and human interaction with displays.
- Key investigations include Myogenesis-ISRO studying muscle regeneration and mitochondrial function, Sprouts-ISRO examining seed germination and genetics, Space Microalgae-ISRO assessing microalgae growth, Voyager Tardigrade-ISRO testing tardigrade survival, and Voyager Displays-ISRO analyzing touchscreen use.
- Findings may enhance strategies to counteract muscle deterioration in astronauts and on Earth, support the creation of sustainable food sources for space missions, contribute to technologies safeguarding life in extreme conditions, and improve the development of user interfaces and operational systems for aerospace and aviation environments.
- The mission exemplifies strong international cooperation to advance microgravity science that could benefit human space exploration and terrestrial applications related to health, food production, and technology design.
