Researchers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center perform preparations in the Space Life Sciences Lab for scientific payloads that NASA commercial cargo provider SpaceX is slated to launch on its 21st commercial resupply services (CRS-21) mission to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Cartilage–Bone–Synovium Micro-Physiological System Investigation Using the Multi-purpose Variable-G Platform (MVP Cell-06) develops a biological model to study the effects of spaceflight on musculoskeletal disease. Traumatic joint injury may lead to arthritis after loss of cartilage and bone, a disease called post-traumatic osteoarthritis. This investigation could lead to drugs to prevent the progression of this disease.
