Bantha milk on International Space Station? #StarWarsDay Actually, BioNutrients-2 is testing an on-demand production system for key nutrients from yogurt during long-duration missions. The blue color is a pH indicator that allows researchers to quickly visualize the progress of these samples.

@Space_Station Interesting, but we will definitely need new ways to produce milk in space if we think about long-term missions. Precision fermentation can be the answer cc @NewHarvestOrg @GoodFoodScience @valley_dao

Today’s astronauts are testing navigation tools for future Moon and Mars missions. 🌕 One is the centuries-old sextant. Once used to cross oceans, astonauts can use it as a reliable backup for space navigation. More:

The International Space Station’s life support system is a recycling machine! ♻️ Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) uses waste products to generate oxygen, recover water, and clean air on the International Space Station. Without ECLSS, long duration missions would not be possible.

#WATCH | The Axiom-4 mission, featuring Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, is set to undock from the International Space Station on July 14th. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla says, "These missions have far-reaching implications beyond science... One thing that has stuck out to me is what humanity is capable of if we stick to a common goal."

Pretty awesome video of Roscosmos launching a Progress MS-33 cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station, this afternoon. The mission is carrying supplies and fuel, and lifted off from the Baikonur launch pad quickly restored after recent damage.

What can astronaut spit tell us about the human body during spaceflight? 🚀 Watch NASA astronaut Jonny Kim demonstrate on International Space Station how a small task—collecting saliva samples—can provide big insights into keeping crews healthy as we prepare for missions to the Moon & beyond.

Having fresh fruit and vegetables on the Space Station is a rare treat. Space food requires a long shelf life so we only receive fresh fruits or vegetables during a new crew arrival or a resupply mission. Having a tangible reminder of life on Earth is a morale booster and a welcome addition to a somewhat repetitive menu. But for future astronauts on deep space missions this luxury simply won't exist. That's why space agencies are investing in plant growth systems and sustainable food solutions that can help support astronauts on future missions.

Day 144, orbit 2233 — Many of you noticed the pink glow in the recent timelapses done in Columbus… That’s thanks to Veggie 🌱, the International Space Station’s vegetable production system — our little space garden! The Veggie chamber glows magenta-pink because it emits a light spectrum that’s perfect for plant growth! During Expedition 74, Veggie hosted the Veg-06 experiment, with two main goals: to study how alfalfa plants and beneficial bacteria work together in microgravity to capture nitrogen from the air and turn it into nutrients plants can use… and to look at how lignin – the material that helps plants stand upright on Earth – changes in space. The alfafa plants 🌿 were successfully grown – watered and nurtured by all of us – then harvested (aerial parts and roots) and stowed in a freezer. They were sent back to Earth for further analysis on board the CRS SpX‑34 cargo Dragon. For us, working on Veggie is a real taste of home – a reminder of what a garden looks and smells like. There’s something very special about watching the plants grow and caring for them day after day. I loved working on this experiment 💚 It is clear that being able to grow fresh food 🌶 in space will be crucial for long exploration missions, not just for nutrition, but for crew morale as well. A better understanding of nitrogen fixation is also key to improving soil quality on Earth, while studying lignin may benefit agriculture and forestry in the long run.

Mission momentum ⏩ July brought a lot of progress for the next Artemis mission, including a key milestone at Marshall, where the SLS (Space Launch System) spacer, designed and manufactured here on site, is now fully welded.

Jordi: The difficulty with hiring 'storytellers' is that the greatest ones are "Joe Rogan CEOs." These rare founders have an elite capacity for describing their missions. They can deliver electric, hours-long performances, on-demand. Think Karp, Luckey, Musk.

“When you look at the Earth from space, you realize that our planet is a beautiful, interconnected system. We are all in this together.” - Mae Jemison, Space Shuttle NASA astronaut This time-lapse taken aboard the International Space Station shows a blanket of stars surrounding our Earth. The view is one that is known to create a moment of pause in appreciation of the beauty of our shared home. #WorldViewWednesday

🌾🚀#Harvest in #Space. China has collected the first batch of rice samples from its latest space farming experiment aboard the #Tiangong space station, per CCTV News. The Shenzhou-23 crew is working toward growing two consecutive generations of rice in orbit, helping scientists understand how crops adapt to long-term microgravity. The research could support future food production beyond Earth and pave the way for deep-space exploration.
