1 00:00:00,333 --> 00:00:03,436 WHY ARE WE SENDING LIQUID RESIN 2 00:00:03,436 --> 00:00:06,840 NEW SOLAR ARRAYS 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:12,345 AND TOMATOES TO SPACE? 4 00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:16,549 DOZENS OF NEW EXPERIMENTS WILL SOON ARRIVE AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 5 00:00:16,549 --> 00:00:20,787 FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY AND FUTURE MISSIONS TO SPACE 6 00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:24,691 LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S ON BOARD THE 26TH SPACEX CARGO MISSION 7 00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:29,829 The space station is adding energy-production capabilities with the installation of 8 00:00:29,829 --> 00:00:36,036 Roll Out Solar Array technology. The latest iROSAs are set to launch in the trunk of Dragon. 9 00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:42,175 NASA researchers are examining a mini-microscope kit that could 10 00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:47,914 provide medical diagnoses on future missions to the Moon or Mars. 11 00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:53,520 A new tool for capturing detailed high-speed video of the eyes will collect precise data an 12 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,793 ocular alignment and assess vestibular function. 13 00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:06,232 The station crew is ready to grow dwarf tomatoes to better understand 14 00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:11,938 how light quality and fertilizer affect fruit production in microgravity. 15 00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:18,378 A technology using resin to create geometries that cannot be made on Earth could 16 00:01:18,378 --> 00:01:24,117 enable in-space fabrication of large structures such as space stations. 17 00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:30,557 In-space production of nutrients may help maintain crew health on future space missions. 18 00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:35,995 An on-demand system using yogurt, kefir, and yeast tests this capability. 19 00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:40,667 THESE EXPERIMENTS WILL JOIN THE HUNDREDS OF ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS 20 00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:43,536 ABOARD THE ORBITING LABORATORY.
