NASA’s SpaceX #Crew6 is wrapping up its scientific journey aboard the International Space Station and preparing to return to Earth! 🌎🚀

Crew-6 spent their months on the orbiting lab conducting scientific investigations and technology demonstrations, including running a student robotic challenge, studying plant genetic adaptations to space, and monitoring human health in microgravity to prepare for exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth. 

The astronauts also released Saskatchewan’s first satellite, which tests a new radiation detection and protection system derived from melanin.
