The What’s On Board Science Briefing highlights some of the research headed for the International Space Station. A new platform, called Bartolomeo, will be attached to the outside of the European Columbus Module to host commercial and institutional payloads. Bartolomeo offers the only unobstructed views both toward Earth and into space from the ISS. It will be operated by Airbus Defence and Space. The Droplet Formation Study by Delta Faucet will evaluate the water droplet formation and water flow of Delta Faucet’s H20kinetic showerhead technology. The goal is to improve the technology and create better performance and an improved user experience while conserving water and energy. The MVP Cell-03 experiment will study the generation of specialized heart muscle cells for use in research and clinical applications. The Flow Chemistry Platform for Synthetic Reactions on ISS will study the effects of microgravity on chemical reactions, as a first-step town on-demand chemical synthesis on the space station.
