Most planes use rigid wings with moving parts. But what if there was a wing that was not only completely flexible, but could be programmed to change on the
An initial, hand-assembled version of the wing, illustrating the lattice pattern
NanoRacks External Platform (NREP) Installation: The JEM (Japanese Experiment Module) Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS) transferred and installed the NREP to the JEM External Facility (JEM-EF). The Slide Table was returned to the JEM Airlock (JEMAL) and the crew pressurized and vented the Airlock in preparation for future JEMAL activities. NREP represents the first external commercial …

Payloads: Cerebral Autoregulation: The crew performed a Cerebral Autoregulation science session, and then stowed the experiment hardware. As the body’s most important organ, the brain needs a strong and reliable blood supply, so the brain is capable of self-regulating blood flow even when the heart and blood vessels cannot maintain an ideal blood pressure. The …
