Researchers are hoping the microgravity experiments will help them understand more about diffuse midline glioma, which is incurable.
The Commission announced that the two astronauts, Rayana Bernawi and Ali Al-Qarni, along with the mission crew, will carry out 11 pioneering scientific research experiments in microgravity during the flight, the results of which will enhance the Kingdom’s position globally in space exploration and service to humanity, and confirm the role of Saudi research centers in making a scientific impact in this field, in addition to implementing three educational awareness experiments.
>> so speck tar larceny to see the crew is carrying three astronauts and one to space for roughly six months. cnn's kristin fisher is joining me with more. tell us once they get there, what is the craw going to do aboard the? >> they are going to be up there for about six months. they are going to be conducting a lot of scientific experiments and microgravity. they have to deal with keeping up the space station, which is now about 20 years old. it has some wear and tear. do some space walks up to keep up with that maintenance. what a gorgeous launch. after the first launch attempt failed due t...
