NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei peers into near-infrared medical-imaging gear, or optical coherence tomography, for detailed views of his retina as part of regularly scheduled eye checks aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts periodically check their eyes because of a phenomenon known as S
2021年3月26日，NASA宇航员和第64号远征队工程师迈克尔·霍普金斯（Michael Hopkins）在国际空间站上闻到了正在生长的 “特矮 （Extra Dwarf）”小白菜。这些植物是为Veggie（蔬菜生产系统）研究而种植，该研究旨在探索太空农业，以维持宇航员在未来前往月球或火星的任务。 影像来源：NASA 国际空间站上的宇航员最近吃到了新鲜的绿叶蔬菜，这在很大程度上要归功于第64号远征队的机组人员迈克尔·霍普金斯（Michael Hopkins）的努力。 NASA的SpaceX载人2号任务指挥官带头进行了Veggie实验，最后两项实验在4月13日的收获后结束。VEG-03K和VE
Astronauts on the International Space Station recently enjoyed a fresh supply of leafy greens, thanks in large part to the efforts of Expedition 64 crew member Michael Hopkins. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission commander took the lead on conducting four Vegetable Production System (Veggie) experiments, w
