NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg,
UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi,
and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev spent
their months on the orbiting lab conducting scientific
investigations and technology demonstrations,
including running a student robotic challenge,
studying plant genetic adaptations to space, and
monitoring human health in microgravity to prepare
for exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit
life on Earth.
The astronauts also released Saskatchewan's first
satellite, which tests a new radiation detection and
protection system derived from melanin.
