Expedition 23
The Expedition 23 and 24 crew researched how living in space affects human physiology and studied how plant roots orient themselves in microgravity. Physics studies included observing fluids transitioning from liquid to gas, the movement of molecules within fluids, how metals solidify, and semiconductor crystals grow in the spaceflight environment.
