- Description
The ESA incubator-centrifuge, called Kubik, is a staple for biological experiments in space. It has flown to the Space Station since 2004 and combines a centrifuge with a heater element to keep samples at the right temperature. ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli set up the incubator to host some experiment that arrived on board the Dragon spacecraft on 17 August.
