iss059e072992 (5/27/2019) --- Photo documentation of the Micro Alagae Culture bags in Node 2 aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Microalgae Biosynthesis in Microgravity (MicroAlgae) studies the effects of microgravity on Haematococcus pluvialis, an algae capable of producing a powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin. It could provide a readily available dietary supplement to promote astronaut health on long-duration space exploration missions.
