— COL Anne McClain (@AstroAnnimal) August 6, 2025 In another post on X, McClain said she found it hard to believe that her time in orbit was “coming to a close already,” adding, “What a great trip this has been.” In their five months aboard the ISS, Crew-10 spent much of their time conducting science research in microgravity. The work included an investigation into how radiation and gravity environments at different orbital altitudes affect plant growth — important for future long-duration crewed missions to deep space — and a look at how cells sense gravity, with the findings possibly leading to therapies for treating muscle and bone conditions. They also captured images of simultaneous lightning events at the top of two thunderstorms, with scientists using such data to study various weather conditions in Earth’s upper atmosphere. The research can help to better protect communication systems and aircraft while improving atmospheric models and weather forecasts.
