Luca running science on Station

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano conducts science on board the International Space Station. He shared this image with the caption: A small experiment, but of great interest – MVP studies bacteria in orbit, and measures their growth on different media.

Luca was launched to the International Space Station for his second mission, Beyond, on 20 July 2019. He will spend six months living and working on the orbital outpost where he will support more than 50 European experiments and more than 200 international experiments in space.
