NASA astronaut Jonny Kim works inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox

iss073e0886402 (Oct. 17) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 Flight Engineer Jonny Kim works inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) aboard the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory module. Kim is seen stowing research hardware used in the Colloidal Solids physics experiment, which investigates how tiny particles—colloids—and proteins suspended in water behave in microgravity. The results may inform plant growth techniques, 3D printing technologies, and pharmaceutical manufacturing in space. On Earth, the findings could benefit the food, personal care, and healthcare industries.
