Should start to see data/imagery in the new year once the resting destination is reached and shakedown has been finalised. Hopefully the rest of us can solve social injustice in the meantime.
"NASA research and space station experiments have led to major medical breakthroughs and health benefits on Earth.
Technology from rocket engines helped create the LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device), keeping heart failure patients alive while waiting for transplants.
Digital image processing originally designed to enhance moon pictures was adapted to improve MRI and CT scans.
Space telemetry systems that measured the temperature of stars were adapted to measure core body temperature instantly via the ear canal.
Research into microalgae for long-duration space food led to the discovery of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and ARA), which are now added to the majority of infant formulas worldwide to support brain and eye development.
Growing protein crystals in microgravity helps scientists understand disease structures, leading to simpler cancer treatments and targeted therapies.
Miniature devices simulating human organs are flown on the International Space Station to study disease progression and test drugs faster than traditional clinical trials.
Anti-atrophy research for astronauts experiencing rapid bone and muscle loss in space inspired rehab devices on Earth that stimulate muscle contractions for patients recovering from surgery or injury.
Real-time telemetry systems used to track astronaut vitals in space helped pave the way for modern intensive care unit remote monitoring and smartphone health trackers."
