jsc2025e037099 (2/27/2025) — Cell culture bags are shown filled with microalgae and growth media at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB). Impact of Microgravity in the ISS on Edible Microalgae (Space Microalgae – ISRO) studies how the environment, microgravity, and increased radiation on the International Space Station affect algae growth and production.
