    Expedition 74 began the week learning how to bioengineer cartilage tissues and manufacture advanced materials while ramping up for a spacewalk. More... go.nasa.gov/4xG5ofE
    NASA astronaut and Expedition 74 flight engineer Jessica Meir works inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox setting up research hardware for a blood stem cell investigation. Meir would later nourish the stem cells that are growing inside a research incubator to help doctors learn how to manufacture and commercialize space-designed therapies for a variety of blood cancers and immune diseases.

    Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

    Have you ever wanted to have your name 'Roman' a million miles away? Now you can! Send your name along the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled to launch Aug. 30, 2026! Sign up here: go.nasa.gov/4ejkRcR Submissions close July 12.
    A person in a head-to-toe white clean room suit holds a large purple "boarding pass" for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in Goddard's large cleanroom. The boarding pass includes an image of the 18 detectors, an artist concept image of the telescope, a QR code, and the NASA logo. "Roman Telescope" is written where the name would go.
    The plate attached to the Roman telescope, where a memory card containing names will be attached. It's a tall, thin, rectangular silver plate. At the top of the plate is the stylized Nancy Grace Roman name logo. Below is the silhouette of Roman's 18-square detectors in their iconic arch shape. Text below that reads "NASA's first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, persevered through barriers and made powerful space telescopes a reality. She envisioned a world where everyone had access to, and enthusiasm for, science. This observatory is the continuation of her legacy and dream." Below the text is an illustration of Dr. Roman looking up, next to her name and the years 1925-2018. Below the years is a small box where the memory card will be affixed. The plate is held down with two large bolts at the top and bottom.
    The fully assembled Roman telescope in the clean room, standing upright. It's a silver cylinder with solar panels peeking out from behind both sides like wings. The hood is deployed, like a black sun visor on a baseball cap. Orange lifts and people in white cleanroom suits surrounded the telescope, highlighting how large it is. The unfolded lifts only reach about one-quarter of the way up the telescope's body. Instrumentation and cables are visible in a section about one-third of the way up the body. Thousands of tiny squares on the wall behind the telescope are air filters for the clean room.
