The Dragon cargo spacecraft will carry several science treats for astronauts to conduct aboard space station. ā˜€ļø Using a coronagraph, CODEX will help scientists generate a comprehensive dataset to validate theories about what heats solar winds. Understanding solar winds could improve space-weather forecasts that can disrupt satellites, communications, and power grids. 🌿 Antarctic moss has the highest radiation tolerance of any plant on the planet. ARTEMOSS studies moss samples from Antarctica to examine how they regulate cosmic radiation in a microgravity environment. 🧱 ESA is sending materials experiments as a part of Euro Material Ageing. Various manmade and organic materials will be exposed to ultraviolet radiation outside station for several months to test their stability and degradation. šŸ‘Øā€šŸ­ Spacecraft can be battered by micrometeoroids and space d...
