iss062e092351 (March 13, 2020) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 62 Flight Engineer Jessica Meir sets up the Multi-use Variable-g Platform-02 inside the portable glovebag to support cardiac research aboard the International Space Station. She was installing hardware for the Cell-03 investigation that induces stem cells to generate heart precursor cells and cultures those cells on the space station to analyze and compare with cultures grown on Earth. Results may help treat spaceflight-induced cardiac abnormalities and contribute to accelerated development and reduced cost of drug therapies on Earth.
