Space science in 360° | Cosmic Kiss

Immerse yourself in 360° of science with ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer as he prepares an experiment to examine how human cells behave in weightlessness.

The Cytoskeleton experiment is a biological study that aims to determine the changing function of RhoGTPases when in vitro cell cultures are exposed to weightlessness. It will run in the Biolab facility of Europe’s Columbus laboratory.

In this video, we see Matthias remove Cytoskeleton cell cultures from the Minus Eighty Lab Freezer ISS (MELFI) and prepare them in the Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG) before installing the experiment in Columbus’s BioLab.

Matthias was launched to the International Space Station for his current Cosmic Kiss mission on 11 November 2021. In his approximately six months on board, he will support over 35 European experiments and many more international experiments in orbit.

  1. It would be really helpful if you could let us know what science they are conducting, its importance and how knowledge has moved forward. Are we ready for the long term transit to Mars? What about radiation, growing food, bone density loss? Should we be thinking about artificial gravity?

    Cool pics but I'd be grateful if you'd bring us up to speed.
