So long and thanks for all the science! 🔬 Crew-4 will soon return from spending nearly six months aboard the International Space Station conducting scientific investigations to help future exploration while benefiting humanity back home. 

The crew spent time on station researching subjects including physics, human health, plant science, and more. 

For example, the crew investigated: 

🔥How flames, fuel, and soot behave in microgravity.

💧Water reclamation techniques that could provide more cost-effective water purification systems for use both in space and on Earth.

🍽️The effects of dietary improvements during spaceflight on immune function and the gut microbiome. 

👶Microgravity-induced changes in human immune cells that resemble those associated with aging on Earth. This study could provide insights into whether the effects of the biological aging process can be reversed.

Thank you Crew-4 for your contributions and work to pave the way for future human space exploration!
