About this work

iss049e012024 (9/28/2016) --- NASA astronaut Kate Rubins is photographed performing sample processing, setup of the Sample Module. The Hard to Wet Surfaces (Eli Lilly-Hard to Wet Surfaces) investigation studies how certain materials used in the pharmaceutical industry dissolve in water while in microgravity. Results from this investigation could help improve the design of tablets that dissolve in the body to deliver drugs, thereby improving drug design for medicines used in space and on Earth.
