SpaceX Crew-3 discuss time aboard space station

NASA astronauts Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron, as well as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer, participated in the news conference.

The Crew-3 astronauts worked on the station since their launch November 10, 2021.During their mission, the crew members contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations. They worked on a variety of plant growth experiments, testing new systems for growing crops and studying potentially drought-resistant cotton plants. In addition, they tested a handheld bioprinter designed to print bandages made from skin cells directly onto a wound, and a miniature scanning electron microscope. Crew members also installed a new device to support studies on fire safety in microgravity, and conducted one of the first archaeological experiments in space. The Crew-3's SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, which they named Endurance, splashed down off the coast of Florida earlier this month.
