Axiom Space private astronaut missions support breakthroughs in space, bringing benefits to every human, everywhere.
The CORVUS Project aims to engage all ages of the public by presenting a Hungarian astronaut conducting various educational experiments and sharing insights on daily life in space from onboard the ISS. It aims to inspire a deeper understanding of how space research impacts Earth and showcasing the importance of space exploration for humanity.
This is an educational activity to provide Hungarian children an opportunity to ask crew questions and inspire interest in space exploration, STEM subjects, and environmental awareness.
Microalgae are potentially useful organisms for future spaceflight that could be used as foods, fuel, or even used in life support systems. In this experiment, three strains of microalgae will be grown and the impact of microgravity on the growth, metabolism, and genetic activity will be investigated versus algae grown on the ground.
Bioengineered liver and kidney tissue constructs will be sent to space to assess the impact of microgravity on vascularization of thick tissues. If successful, this platform technology and approach could lead to the in-space bioengineering of ‘building blocks’ of tissue that can serve as a bridge to transplants in patients awaiting a limited supply of donor organs. This project is part of the Axiom Space collaboration with Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and the ReMDO to develop an In-Space Biomanufacturing Hub for regenerative medicine.
