Summary
NASA's Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station began their week with bioengineering research on cartilage tissue growth in microgravity, advanced materials manufacturing, spacewalk preparations, and vision tests. NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir worked inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox studying how cartilage cells grow larger in weightlessness, alongside other scientific and maintenance activities.
