- Description
In this timelapse, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot is seen working inside the Life Science Glovebox of the Kibo laboratory module, as she explores ways to use the International Space Station’s potable water to produce medical‑grade intravenous fluids, such as saline solutions. The Intravenous Fluid Generation - Mini technology demonstration aims to reduce the crew’s reliance on cargo missions while preventing medical supplies from expiring during long‑duration spaceflight.
