Today we are joined by Dr. Kristin Bunker, a senior scientist at RJ Lee Group, and Dr. Marit Meyer, from the NASA Glenn Research Center, to discuss the usage of microscopy to identify airborne particles in the cabin on the International Space Station. Analyzing the makeup of these particles and keeping the air particle free allows us to ensure safe, breathable air for our astronauts in orbit.
