Rabea Rogge(@rprogge):The most historic experiment we had on board was a tech demonstration: The first ever X-Ray taken in space. Project: X-Ray ⚡ Question: Can we take good quality X-Rays in space? Fun facts: - Due to bone loss in microgravity, fractures can become more likely on long duration missions - so we need a way to diagnose these. - X-rays can also be used to have a look at faulty electronics! The most fun picture we have is one where we captured our chest plus a wearable sensor, so we got both objectives hit in one go. - The first X-ray in history was taken in 1895 of Wilhelm Röntgen's wife - here next to our recreation in space.
