I love having the opportunity to perform research in space, and one I am especially looking forward to on #Ax4 will examine the effectiveness of new drugs for inhibiting cancer cell growth. axiomspace.com/release/cance…

A tiny @ESA_ExoMars capsule rockets off at 4000 km per hour to simulate the aerodynamics of a Mars descent. This supersonic test happened in the blink of an eye, captured here in slow motion. Shooting for a Mars landing: blogs.esa.int/to-mars-and-ba… 📸: ISL

These are the 6 visiting spaceships currently docked to the Space Station. It's a shell game to make room for new ships as they arrive. Delaying @Boeing Starliner has made it more complicated - final decision tomorrow: tinyurl.com/kme8d84j image: @NASA

As we know #Space is not easy.
NASA will return @BoeingSpace's #Starliner to Earth without @NASA_Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aboard the spacecraft. The uncrewed return allows NASA and Boeing to continue gathering testing data on Starliner during its upcoming flight home, while also not accepting more risk than necessary for its crew. Wilmore and Williams will continue their work formally as part of the Expedition 71/72 crew through February 2025. They will fly home aboard a Dragon spacecraft with two other crew members assigned to the agency’s SpaceX #Crew9 mission. Starliner is expected to depart from the @Space_Station and make a safe, controlled autonomous re-entry and landing in early September. More: go.nasa.gov/3YYesh3
