Expedition 42

Occurred 9 years ago

The Expedition 42 crew studied the affects of microgravity on genetic transmission and radiation on immune cells. New research hardware observed haze, dust, smoke, and pollution in Earth's atmosphere and investigated super-heated materials that may advance the development of lighter, higher-performing alloys for Earth and space industries.
