Space Bioprinter: Reset
In October 2018 a unique experiment related to the problem of zero-gravity biotissue growth was to be carried out. The «3D-bioprinter» developed by Russian scientists and a biomaterial folding were loaded in the «Soyuz MS-10» spacecraft orbital module. But an emergency situation led to the serious deformation of the orbital module and, as a consequence, to the loss of the device. However, the engineers haven’t rejected the research program and have produced a new flight printer. The experiment will start shortly after the crew of «Soyuz MS-11» is on the station. The «ASJ» correspondent has talked to the experts and cosmonauts about the details of the experiment.
