NASA Brings Manufacturing Experiments to Space
A variety of experiments are arriving on the International Space Station, including a handheld “bio printer” and a manufacturing device that processes heat-resistant metal parts in microgravity.
"We are continuing to leverage the space station as a vital platform to foster scientific discovery, validate capabilities for commercial infrastructure in low-Earth orbit, and prove out deep space exploration technologies," said Justin Kugler, general manager of Redwire Mission Solutions
