iss074e0642442 (June 1, 2026) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 74 flight engineer Jack Hathaway shows off NanoRacks research hardware that stored sample-containing tubes filled with seeds and microbes for a variety of student-designed experiments. Hathaway was activating the tubes aboard the International Space Station's Harmony module to expand the knowledge of space phenomena and inspire junior high and high school students to consider scientific, technical, and engineering careers.

The payloads will test ultra‑high‑resolution hyperspectral imagery, measure radio signals passing through Earth’s ionosphere, and help doctors identify space‑sensitive proteins while evaluating mobility and neuromuscular health therapies.

Shane the salesperson

Non, Shane ne se reconvertit pas en VRP de l’espace – il me montrait juste une des expériences d’étudiants 🇺🇸 sur le comportement de mélanges dans des tubes. Procédure facile de notre côté, pour une fois : activation en actionnant un levier ou en … secouant les à la main. Certains vont redescendre dans quelques jours sur 🌎 pour la phase post-vol des observations.

Shane looks like he’s selling something but it’s actually a student nanoracks experiment, we need to mix liquids in a tube to activate the experiment, hold up to the camera for verification, and that is our job done! Later they will be analysed on Earth to study the chemical reaction.

NASA Communications’ Kenna Pell, left, and Brock Howe, airlock program manager, Nanoracks, participate in a #NASASocial Science and Station Q&A show at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. 4, 2020. During the briefing, NASA Social participants heard from principal investigators for payloads launching on SpaceX’s 21st Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-21) mission. CRS-21 is scheduled to launch from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A on Dec. 5, 2020. Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and cargo Dragon spacecraft is targeted for 11:39 a.m. EST.

The first commercially funded airlock for the International Space Station is packed in the Cargo Dragon spacecraft’s trunk in October 2020 for its ride to the International Space Station on SpaceX’s 21st Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-21) mission. The airlock will provide payload hosting, robotics testing, and satellite deployment, and also will serve as an outside toolbox for crew members conducting spacewalks. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the Cargo Dragon, lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:17 a.m. EST on Dec. 6, 2020. Photo credit: SpaceX
