Summary[edit]

Description
English: Expedition 68, Mission Summary
  • Expedition 68 began in September 2022 and ends in March 2023. This expedition will include research investigations focused on biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences and technology development, providing the foundation for continuing human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars.
  • During Expedition 68, crew members will conduct experiments studying cardiovascular health in microgravity and how spaceflight affects properties of heart cells derived from stem cells, continuing efforts to establish a functional 3D heart tissue model that researchers can use to test new drugs. The BioFabrication Facility will return to the orbiting laboratory after receiving upgrades back on Earth, ready to embark on the next stages of 3D printing knee cartilage and cardiac tissue samples. Exploration studies will include astronauts growing crops of red dwarf tomatoes as part of NASA’s research into plant growth in microgravity, which will be a critical piece of missions to the Moon and Mars. They will also study liquid behavior in environments that simulate the gravity of the Moon and Mars, which could contribute to better design of exploration systems such as lunar rovers, life support systems, and rocket fuel tanks.
