@CommerceinSpace @NIST Our partnership will advance American leadership in #SpaceBiotech and strengthen the #SpaceEconomy 💯🚀

Another win for the #SpaceEconomy! In a first-of-its-kind partnership with @CommerceinSpace and @RhScientific, @NIST has successfully delivered "reference materials" to the International Space Station for study. Learn more: space.commerce.gov/breaking-groun…

@ISS_CASIS @aurelia_labs @SophicS_LLC @seraphim_space Proud to support our partners at @ISS_CASIS 💯🚀

Thank you to our Special Event Sponsors: @aurelia_labs, #BarriosTechnology, #JESTech, @RhScientific, @SophicS_LLC and @seraphim_space!

@ISS_CASIS @Space_Station @genesinspace @af_academy Partnering with @af_academy on this #PlantScience mission has produced #SpaceBiotech insights useful for future space missions and crop growth in resource limited environments 🌿🚀

When #Crew9 launches to the @Space_Station, they'll be carrying space-based #research sponsored by the ISS National Lab including a student-designed investigation from @genesinspace & #plantscience from @RhScientific & the @af_academy: ow.ly/t3a550TwiZf

@AstroHague @NASAScience_ We're proud to be partnered on this #PlantScience mission with @af_academy 🚀!

It’s always fun to watch plants grow on the space station because it reminds me of growing up back home in Kansas. It’s even more special when I know it’s research driven by my alma mater. Go Falcons!

@MarkBlenner @DARPA Proud to be partnered with you and @DARPA on all of our #Biomanufacturing in space missions🚀 #SpaceBiotech

Our 4th space flight experiment left earth yesterday. Research through the @DARPA B-SURE program. @RhScientific

@NASAScience_ Proud to be partnered with @darpa for this #Biomanufacturing in space mission #SpaceBiotech 🚀

Microbes could produce materials, medicine, and food in space. Rhodium Biomanufacturing 3 studies how changes in microbes’ cell growth and metabolism in space can enhance the production of these valuable compounds reducing the need for transport from Earth. go.nasa.gov/4fvX6hb

@NIST @CommerceinSpace Proud to be partnered with @NIST and @CommerceinSpace to establish these first reference/research-grade materials for the #SpaceBiotech #MedTech #Science communities 🚀

One small step for freeze-dried human liver tissue, one giant leap for standards. NIST, @CommerceinSpace, and @RhScientific have sent seven NIST reference materials to the ISS. How will space change them? We’ll find out after splashdown on Feb 26. Photo: NASA

Phages shape microbial ecosystems on Earth—but what about in space? In our new study, we show that microgravity aboard the International Space Station reshapes phage–bacteria interactions, evolution, and fitness—with surprising benefits for targeting resistant pathogens on Earth. Great work @phil_huss @chuchitboonthav @RhScientific journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

@vatsanraman Honored to be your spaceflight collaborator for this important publication 💯🚀 #SpaceBiotech

Catch Space Forge Inc. President, Michelle Flemming at @SpaceComExpo 👋 Discussing the future of affordable downmass for space industrial ventures with Justin Kugler (@Int_Machines) & Olivia Gamez Holzhaus (@RhScientific) 29 January, 11am 🔗spacecomexpo.pulse.ly/3iuahmhhpa

Dragon Endurance and Crew-10 are settled in for our last night aboard @Space_Station. When there are two crews aboard during handover, we get this unique view from the zenith-docked Dragon looking down at the forward-docked Dragon. Tomorrow, Crew-10 will strap ourselves into this Dragon and head home. But tonight, one more breathtaking view…

@Astro_Ayers @af_academy @ISS_Research Thank you for being our expert #science hands in space for mission #RhodiumUSAFANIGHT! 💯🌱🚀

I see you @af_academy! Proud of the @ISS_Research my alma mater is doing up here and excited to set it up and take part! Couldn’t miss a chance to wear an Air Force shirt or two. 😉 Rhodium USAFA Non-Photosynthetic Inquiry into Growth Habit Traits, or Rhodium USAFA NIGHT, assesses the growth of genetically modified Small Plants for Agriculture in Confined Environments tomatoes (or SPACE tomatoes!) on the @Space_Station. Understanding how these plants respond to space stressors could support the development of crops in closed agricultural systems that can grow with techniques other than photosynthesis. These SPACE tomatoes will be compared to plants grown on the ground to further characterize the effects of cultivation in space.

Check it out! 🔬 A big shout out to @Astro_Ayers for making our research happen on station. 🚀
