NASA astronaut Dr. Anil Menon will launch to the International Space Station on Soyuz MS-29 for Expedition 75 to conduct an eight-month mission that tests whether bacteria can survive on the station’s exterior during spacewalks, while also studying long-duration spaceflight and publicly reporting the results alongside crewmates Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina.
