Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus cargo spacecraft launched from Virginia’s eastern shore Tuesday, and when it reached the International Space Station on Thursday, there was quite a few delicious treats for the astronauts. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, there was a pizza kit, along with a variety of cheeses for the seven station astronauts. On the technical side of things, it also transported a mounting bracket for solar wings, an infrared-detecting device, and experiment materials.
One of the most exciting things to arrive in the 8,200-opund shipment at the ISS was material simulating moon dust and dirt that will be used to fabricate things with the space station’s 3D printer as well as a slime mold for a French educational experiment called Blob. The latter enables students aged 10 to 18 to study a naturally-occurring slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, that is capable of basic forms of learning and adaptation.
