ISS Back to Full Strength: Crew-12 and the First Medical Evacuation CrisisCrew-12 ISS Arrival: NASA Medical Evacuation & Future Mars TechThe International Space Station is finally back at full staff. Following the arrival and docking of the SpaceX Dragon Freedom on Saturday, February 14, a new international team has officially taken over the orbiting laboratory. This mission is critical, as it follows the first medical evacuation in 65 years of human spaceflight, which left the ISS with a "skeleton crew" for over a month.In this episode, we meet Crew-12, led by NASA’s Jessica Meir, and featuring Sophie Adenot (the second French woman in space), Jack Hathaway, and Andrey Fedyaev. We discuss the mystery surrounding the January medical emergency and how this new crew will test revolutionary AI-powered medical ultrasound systems and blood clot studies designed for future trips to Mars. Plus, we look ahead to the Artemis II lunar mission and the planned ship-to-ship radio linkup between the two crews.NASA, SpaceX, ISS, Crew-12, Jessica Meir, Sophie Adenot, Medical Evacuation, Artemis II, Space Research, Gemini AIBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scitech-brief--6846358/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
