Happy National Astronaut Day! During a spacewalk in January, Nick Hague repaired the NICER X-ray telescope after issues with daytime operations were discovered. The repair restored about 70% of NICER's daytime science capabilities, improving data collection for researchers.

We're ready for a power-up! 💪👩‍🚀.The installation of IROSAs are increasing power generation capability up to 30% for research and operations aboard @Space_Station. Discover the latest experiments powered by these solar panels:

Expedition 73 studies how microgravity affects the protein yields of Chlorella microalgae, a potential nutrient-rich food source that can be turned into protein powder to add to food. Results could support improved and sustainable plant-based food production on and off Earth.

RT @NASASpaceSci: The @Space_Station SEAQUE study tests not one, but two technologies that could advance the field of quantum communication….
