Pounds (3,311kg) of scientific experiments, new solar panels and other preparations for the reconstruction of SpaceX Dragon launched Thursday from the US via the International Space Station, according to NASA.
Some of the experiments that took place: bobtail squid and the bacteria they call home. These experiments were performed to study the effects of airborne pathogens on the interactions between microbes and their animals. Also a free ticket to the air for small cephalopods that do not actually come out. We are so happy for them – take more pictures!
