NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-8 Will Help Conduct Science, Research on Station<\/h2>\n

Some of the scientific research Crew-8 will conduct on the International Space Station includes the Veno-constrictive Thigh Cuffs during Spaceflight (Thigh Cuff), which examines whether tight cuffs on the legs change the way fluid moves around inside the body. If so, the cuffs could serve as a countermeasure against the problems associated with fluid shifts during spaceflight. Photo credit: NASA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During their time on the International Space Station<\/a>, the members of Crew-8 will conduct new scientific research<\/a> to prepare for human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit humanity on Earth.<\/p>\n

Experiments include using stem cells to create organoid models to study degenerative diseases, studying the effects of microgravity and UV radiation on plants<\/a> at a cellular level, and testing whether wearing pressure cuffs<\/a> on the legs could prevent fluid shifts and reduce health problems in astronauts. These are just a few of the more than 200 scientific experiments and technology demonstrations taking place during their mission.<\/p>\n

While aboard the orbiting laboratory, the members of Crew-8 will see the arrival of both the SpaceX Dragon and the Roscosmos Progress cargo spacecraft. Crew-8 also is expected to welcome the agency\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test<\/a> astronauts. A Soyuz spacecraft with three new crew members, including NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson<\/a>, will also launch during their stay, and the Soyuz carrying NASA astronaut Loral O\u2019Hara<\/a> will return to Earth.<\/p>\n

Commercial crew missions<\/a> enable NASA to maximize use of the space station, where astronauts have lived and worked continuously for more than 23 years testing technologies, performing research, and developing the skills needed to operate future commercial destinations in low Earth orbit and explore farther from Earth. Research conducted on the space station provides benefits for people on Earth and paves the way for future long-duration trips to the Moon and beyond through NASA\u2019s Artemis<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n
