CREW-10 joined the 72 shipment crew when it arrived at the station in March. Throughout the shipment 72 and in Expedition 73, the crew on board the space station has contributed to hundreds of experiences, in particular by testing expanded capacities of the existing material for pharmaceutical production in space, by studying how cells feel of gravity, which is an important aspect of spatial biology, and on the examination of the effects of microgravity on potential microalgia, Potential for life support, fuel and food on long -term missions.
The crew will leave the space station after the arrival of the crew-11 and a transfer period. Before the return of the crew-10, the mission teams will examine the weather conditions on the splash sites off the coast of California before the departure of the station.
The mission is part of the NASA commercial crew program, which provides reliable access to space, maximizing the use of the station for research and development and supporting future missions beyond Bow Earth Orbit by associating with private companies to transport astronauts to and from the space station.
