The International Commercial Experiment Cubes Service provides fast, simple and affordable access for research & technology to the International Space Station
We're striking the heart of the matter - with a 3D bioprinter, a miniature heart, a microfluidic chip and Space.
With AstroCardia, our latest research project, we look at a microscopic level at what happens to our heart as we age. 👨🔬👵

🛰️ Here you can see exactly where LeopardISS is mounted inside ESA’s Columbus module by @astro_slawosz, in the @ICECubesService Facility - a modular platform that provides power, thermal stability, data links, and real-time communication with Earth.
🔬 @astro_Pettit explains it better in this video from space just before he installed the experiment in the @ICECubesService facility on @esa’s Columbus module.
🎯 This night at 3:29 CET our #RISE Experiment Cube reached orbit on a @SpaceX Falcon 9! 🛰
📡 #RISE now in transit to the #ISS, where it will arrive at ~16:15 CET.
After docking, #RISE will be installed in the @ICECubesService facility.
And then... we're doing science!!🚀
TONIGHT our “Aging Beyond Earth” organoids will be sent out to the ISS on the @SpaceX -31 shuttle at @NASA at Cape Canaveral 🚀🛰️☄️
The samples were SUCCESSFULY loaded into the IceCubes as you can see in the images below!
Stay tuned for the updates on the launch this evening!
Happy #NationalAerospaceWeek! 🌍✈️ We celebrate how partnerships between government, industry, and researchers help innovate human activities in space! 🌌
Discover how our #EUfunded project plans to 3D bioprint cardiac models in microgravity at pulse-eic.eu! 🚀💓
We are proud to be part of the #organoids sector in this panoramic landscape of groups using space to advance #biotech! 💗
Our @EUeic project, coordinated by @MoroniGroup , will be 3D #biorpitning#cardiac models via a combo of acoustic & magnetic levitation in space! 🔊 🧲
A new era of space biotech is arising. In this report, we are sharing research on the state of the market, key players, business models, and explain fundamental reasons for performing biological work space.

🚀 Thrilled to announce! 🚀
KP Labs' Leopard Data Processing Unit (DPU) is heading to the #ISS! 🌌🐆
LeopardISS will:
💻 Enhance edge computing
🤖 Facilitate autonomous data processing
🛰 Pave the way for space-based data centers

🦶 Up to 25% of patients with diabetes develop foot ulcers that can become infected. Astronauts, like diabetics, develop thinner and drier skin while their compromised immune system delays wound recovery.
👨🚀 These similarities between astronauts and diabetics allow researchers to better understand bacterial diversity and look for countermeasures.

#Unboxing in space 📦
@astro_marcus opens a special delivery from #Earth: a culture of cells for the Memo BC experiment.
Researchers are looking into how microgravity triggers changes in cellular structures and gene expression, sometimes with unexpected benefits. 🧬

The Annual Conference on Commercial Space Exploration is in full swing! 250 guests from all over the globe joined us at @esa-ESTEC for an exciting two days filled with talks, workshops, and networking. Don't forget to tag us in your posts if you're onsite with us!🚀
سعدنا بإختتام تجربة إستثنائية ومميزة في الدورة التدريبية لطب الفضاء المعتمدة من جامعة الفضاء الدولية والتي شملت على محاضرات من خبراء مميزين في المجال وورش عمل لتصميم أبحاث طب الفضاء بالإضافة لزيارة لمختبر أبحاث الفضاء لمشاهدة سبل تنفيذ التجارب البحثية في محطة الفضاء الدولية.
Today is a major milestone in our “Microalgal Life Support Units for Space Missions-UzMAn” project. We turned our experimental cube over for #Ax3 launch. @TURKastro Alper Gezeravcı will carry on the experiment at ISS for 10 days. Huge thanks to @Axiom_Space and @ICECubesService for their support. Well done project shareholders @tubitakuzay@TUBITAK_MAM Final thanks to @NASAKennedy Life Sciences support team at SSPF for having us this week. Go Ax-3. @SpaceX@ISS_Research@NASASpaceOps@NASASpaceSci
