One experiment that was immediately set up by Flight Engineer Terry Virts was the Micro-5 study. That experiment observes microorganisms as a model for humans so scientists can understand changes in a crew member’s immune system and the risk of infectious disease in space.
complimenti x l’aggancio perfetto
xche il dragon rimane attaccato x 4 settimane?
this is amazing!
I’m curious about the supplies and spare parts aboard these resupply missions. Are the cargo manifests posted? Many of the news updates mention supplies and spare parts as part of the cargo. Are the spare parts consumables, reparables, or some mix of both? Are the Dragon capsules being used to return failed reparables back to Earth for refurbishment and later reuse? If so, are there size and weight limits that impact what can be returned? Thanks!
